Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Y'know it seems funny saying good morning at 10 to 5 in the afternoon after a day on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Morning Norman - glad to hear it. I'm looking at the rain and bemoaning my lack of Wench time over the weekend due to dismantling, moving, and reconstructing five beds, rearranging the furniture in three bedrooms, and all the hoovering and polishing that goes with it. I though it was all OK, but Lady MemSec had a different view. Over the years, I have discovered that the four most terrifying words a wife can say to her husband are, "I have an idea..."

Norman Verona Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Oh yes. HM's ideas are terrifying. Usually a simple problem with a simple solution turns into a fantasy engineering project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 No, no. It's a long story so here goes. We had a chap fit a plasterboard ceiling to the day room. He marked where the wires were for the main lams. Howver he forgot to mark where the two little LED's came out and hung down above the coffee table. So I guessed where they were and got it perfectly correct. I found the wires and pulled one lamp through the hole I'd cut in the ceiling. Great. But the other wire went off in the opposite direction and wouldn't pull through. So I cut another hole in the ceiling so I could pull the lamp through. Same problem, got the wire but lamp wouldn't come through. After I cut the 3rd hole I realized that he'd trapped the second LED lamp on the other side of the beam. So today I cut 3 plasterboard discs to fill the holes and plastered over them. I've been out and popped into the bar for a quick drink, Tomorrow I'll paint over the repair. It works half as well with only one lamp. Problem is that the other lamp will be on with this one all on its own in the dark. Ahhhh. HOLE IN ONE There was a slight deviation in the plasterboard about 2 foot from the lamp hanging down. I found the smallest drill I have and drilled the deviation. I had the lights in question on as as soon as I removed the drill I could see a bright light peering through. Made a larger hole, pulled the lamp through and placed a circular battery driven led light in the hole. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
