Let there be light!

For several weeks my laundry room light as been flickering (it's a florescent light). Made it feel like I was doing the laundry in a disco! I changed the lights in it, it stopped flickering but stopped working. Hubby finally chimed in saying that he thought the ballast needed to be changed. I got the numbers and set off to Home Depot! As I was driving home with my purchases I wondered how much a new light would have cost. My 2 ballast were $20 a piece. I delayed working on the light several days, but finally gave in since my amusement of doing the laundry in pitch dark was GONE! LONG GONE! I'd gotten the wrong ballast! I asked hubby how much he thought a new light would cost...... long story being cut short -- returned $40 of ballast for a $37 light!

Just how can this be?

The whole is cheaper than the sum of it's parts!

Also got the new bathroom lights ~ I'm so excited to get those up! I'll go work on those now ~ it is last chance Friday after all!

OK got the new vanity lights in I love them! Still having trouble with the track lights. Who knew that replacing a white track light with a black track light isn't exactly the same. Once again,

Just how can this be?

Last Chance Friday.

Friday seems to be my last chance to get things done without anyone around. So yesterday I pulled more wallpaper off and cleaned the new tiled bathroom floor for the last time before I seal the grout. Which should be happening right now but I'm here writing to you! I wished I would have taken pictures of the before and after of the wall paper but forgot. I have only the border left to pull off. Still don't know what color the walls will be but it will be GREAT when it's done.

This week while helping unload the dishwasher "G" announced in a huff that he wished we didn't have a Dishwasher! So I got to tell him about the 'good ol'days" when his father and I growing up didn't have a dishwasher. How the process after supper was just as long as supper had been and sometimes as long as the supper prep had been. Then I told him that at Christmas we had to wait until all the dishes were washed until we could open presents! I don't know if this phased him but it gave us something to chat about until his 5 minutes chore was done!
