…. but when I say “a few little jobs” they turn out to be what seems like major engineering projects.<\/p>\n
As you might have guessed it rained down in torrents today, 9mm of it in total. So a “work inside” day it was. First job was to rig up some lighting in the stairwell. Now leaving qualified electricians out of the equation, Terry, how long does it take to cut into a wiring circuit, wire in a lightswitch top and bottom and paired to two-way, and add a couple of light sockets? A couple of hours? So why has it taken all day and I’m still not finished? I was quite happily threading three single strands through some conduit and I noticed that it was 13:34. Where did the morning go? And the afternoon went quickly too, much quicker than the work did. Funny thing was that I don’t remember having any difficulty or being stuck on any part of the job. I must have been caught in a timewarp somewhere.<\/p>\n
And I also seem to have broken the Ryobi flourescent light and that’s a tragedy. That light has fallen down stairwells, fallen through holes in the floor, had spanners drop on top of it and it’s functioned perfectly. Yet on my way downstairs earlier and I caught it on one of the verticals and that was that. I’ll have to find another one, or work out how I can fix it.<\/p>\n
So tomorrow I’ll finish off the light fittings and then do a couple of other things. I’ll see how long I can spin them out for.<\/p>\n
And in a change to the weather forecast, sun is now forecast for Friday and Saturday. Well, we’ll see.<\/p>\n
