Adding Lights

I looked at this photo this morning and thought . . I should have you guess as to what I’m trying to show you because this picture surely doesn’t give you much info!  A blog post without photos is boring and I didn’t want to say to the electrician .. smile . . so I can take your picture for my blog. I did give him 5 dozen fresh eggs so he probably would have said “OK”.

Remember the snake incident inside the shop? When you walk through this door to the shop, there’s a very dark, narrow hallway .. maybe 5′ long, that goes to the sewing room door.  Walk through the door, turn left and you go to the sewing room. Walk to the door and turn right and you’re in the shop, where there’s excellent lighting but there just isn’t enough light in the little hallway to the shop. There are lots of safe hiding spots for snakes and since that door opens to the left, there’s precious little walking space to the left so if that snake had been on the left side of that door, he would have had to slither across my feet .. my toes because, of course, I was wearing flip flops. If that would have happened, either I would have had a heart attack and died or I would never have gone in that room again.

Vince had put up some little battery operated motion lights, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. When they do work, this is how much light they produced.

It was barely enough to find my way to the door and definitely not enough to see what kind of critters were waiting to munch on my toes . . or worse!

I hate to keep asking for stuff . . really, I do! But I told Vince  I was literally holding my breath as I walked into the sewing room and hoping there were no snakes in there. I think, knowing how many snakes are out here, and after having seen the one inside the shops right there at the door, I was not going to get past that fear of coming across a snake. I thought we needed better lighting there. Since he’s always willing to make my life better, he called the electrician.

Light!

Now, we have light.  A new switch . . no more frantically waving my arms trying to get the motion light to come on. No more wimpy little light shining directly in my eyes, but a nice overhead light . . lots of light to chase away the scariest, most vicious snakes and lots of light to help me see them and know that my path is clear.
