Dining room ceiling fan

This wasn't the original fixture.
Just one I put up for testing.
This fixture came out of the hallway, kinda looks like a crown.

New ceiling fan with light.

Memorial Day 2009

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.




It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag.



It is the VETERAN who serves under the Flag.



ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD,
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

Fireplace cleanup

Before. When I first looked at the house, I thought there were gas logs in there.

Took the doors off to clean inside.



The logs have a red bulb and tinsel on a rotating spindle.
I should have made a video, can't see the effect in a still.

Need new lights in the garage

This monster was heavy.
Those bulbs are 8 feet long.
Yes, there were only 3 (only one was working).

It was all held to the ceiling by two LARGE nails.
How many wire nuts were in the case?
Lots of connections. All of that wire came out of there.

The dogwood trees were blooming a few days ago. I took this photo on April 28. A lot of blooms had already fallen. Wish I had taken the photo a few days earlier.

Headlight with lots of moisture inside. Kinda dim at night.
