… than I was expecting to finish off this wiring today. But the positive side of all of this is that it’s all done properly now. And much of it is now correctly sheathed and tacked into place, and hidden behind insulation. Under normal circumstances it won’t need doing again.
But I’m surprised that I did anything at all today. In the night I was being chased around by a bull and a herd of cows and I dashed into a house for safety. But Brain of Britain forgot to close the door, didn’t he, and the bull came in behind me, trapping me in the house. I don’t get on too well with big animals and this was definitely one of “those” moments. But I don’t recall having this type of dream before. What was that all about?
But back to current (well, we are discussing electricity) issues, we now have a four-gang light switch properly installed on the first floor landing. There are the two light switches for each of the flights of stairs, a third that will be for a light on the landing, and a fourth for the light in the cupboard at the back of the stairs.
But we did have an accident today. The 12-volt LED light on the flight of stairs up to the first floor keeps on falling out of the blub holder (these light bulbs are heavier than you might think) and today it finally smashed. But only the outer cover, the internal works are fine. And it’s much lighter now of course and the beam is much more spread out. Yes, after all of this, it still works.
In the middle of all of this, Cécile rang up for a chat and was on the phone for 45 minutes. It’s nice to chat to friends of course, but they always ring up when I’m in the middle of doing something, never when I’m sitting down with a coffee.
This afternoon I’ve padded out the stud wall at the head of the stairs up here with insulation and cut and shaped three pieces of plasterboard. I fitted the light switch for the light at the head of the stairs and I was in the process of filling the joins when I lost the light. Working long after my knocking-off time.
Tomorrow I’ll finish the filling and then I can start to fit the ceiling out here.
Isn’t that progress?
