House update: Thursday
Jul. 28th, 2006 10:41 amInexplicably, no report from my aunt yesterday.
Wednesday night I went over and wired two more light fixtures. Have
started using the larger size of Marr connector, which is far less
frustrating although still not perfect. It took me an hour to do two,
including going and finding all the tools and bits and bobs I needed --
the second one was just over 20 minutes. I barely screamed at all,
although occasionally I did have to climb down off the ladder and breathe
deeply and take a swig of water to soothe my nerves before returning to
the fray. Tonight I shall do more. If I keep this up, I will have all
kinds of lights by this time next week.
Yesterday Jen and I went to Sears to inquire about her missing
refrigerator, which I bought a year ago and we put off having delivered a
couple of times and then they stopped calling and we didn't pursue it
because we had no room for a fridge anyway, but then I couldn't get hold
of the sales guy and I was really dreading the whole thing but as it turns
out it didn't faze them in the least -- they looked at the receipt and
said "Hm. We need to get you a fridge." So in theory she's getting a nice
new Frigidaire. We await developments.
I don't know what else happened yesterday.
