Never Ending Bulbs?
We've finished buying bulbs! Yippee! The ones we bought yesterday didn't cover every situation as we thought they would. The dining room ceiling fan takes bulbs with tiny little screw ends. Again it's truly impressive how wonderful the difference is. Everything in the house, including me, looks better in there now. It's much brighter and the color is a whole lot nicer. In the rooms where the lights are likely to be on a lot - the living room and kitchen - we put LED lights and the rest are just normal cost saving types. The light fixtures in a couple of places will need to be replaced but we'll deal with those later.
Here's a photo of the light bulb man, answering the eternal question, "How many Terrys does it take to change a light bulb?
One!
And then once he finished in there the living room looked great! You could read in there! Which reminds me, when I said we need to bring reading material, Terry looked at me like I was crazy. For some reason he doesn't see this house as a place of leisure, with reading and coffee drinking, the way I do. In case you're wondering, I'm calculating the peak of the ceiling at about 14 feet. The top of the windows is 10 feet and they are 10 feet wide. I'm looking forward to making some curtains for them and removing the aluminum mini blinds.
Here's a look at the dirty ceiling fan with really nice light bulbs. All the LED bulbs say they will last 20 years and cost about 15 cents a year to run. We have those in our living room too and really like them.
Finally, I was looking out the living room window that faces the back yard and guess what I saw??!! You can see our house from here!! So I took a photo of it. Can you see where it is? Isn't that great?
Terry is all fired up to go over there and shampoo the carpet. The carpet looks really nice, actually it looks new, but it does not smell good so he has has to take action. He's an action kind of guy. Right now he's getting his music operation ready to take over for listening while he works. I guess the cassette player/radio doesn't work for him.
Well I've had a great birthday and now it's time to rest up from all the excitement and watch Game of Thrones.
Love Vicki
