Little Fox, Construction Supervisor

A few weeks ago my roommates decided to put some new lights in their house.  Of course, I was hired to act as the supervisor, because, well let's face it without me nothing would get done.  The weather is supposed to be wet this weekend, according to the newscaster beary wet.  I imagine it will be wet for Sandy too, which makes it hard for me to get my snow picture for Julie Jane's contest.

My roommates got a good deal on some fixtures that are nice looking compared to our ugly flowery ones.  

Any good supervisor should read the instructions.  These look well written.  Hmm, let's see, what's first?
The old flowerly ones came down without any problems.  So far so good.  
I am inspecting the hole and the wires.  Always remember to shut off the power.  Beary, beary important. 
The new fixture is set up properly, I think it's ready to go up.
For the most part things went smoothly, I could use some help from Sequoia though.  I wonder where he is?  Aha, sleeping on the job. 
You know, I think Sequoia is onto something.  After installing two lights today I think I deserve this break.

  1. Everyone is doing home renovation & repair it seems. Will you have your own version of "This Old House"?

    Sequoia seems to be...smiling, I think, in the first picture. What do you think?

  6. Excellent job Little Fox!! We have those same light fixtures in our bedrooms. Did you use compact fluorescent lights or LEDs? Or old fashioned bulbs?

  7. Are you talking about the flowerly fixtures or the new ones? We like the new ones quite a big, not so much on the flowerly ones. Small world, perhaps our homes were decorated by the same person (if so, I could only imagine what their house must look like :) )

    Compact Flourescents (I like how they don't put out too much heat), the LEDs still seem a little spendy.
