I’ve lived in my home for a little more than five years now and I love it. But the place is over 30 years old and so are its light fixtures. “Dim” would be an understatement to describe the lighting in the hall, the kitchen, and the nook. Dad offered to help me improve and update it. Dads are much less expensive than professional electricians and he assured me he could take care of this.
We went to a few lighting stores in the city and after about 45 minutes in the last store, I found what I was looking for. I talked to the salesperson and ordered what I wanted.
When the lights came a few weeks later, we got to work. We got everything out of the 
boxes and took out the directions. Dad took down the old fixtures and handed them to me. I gave him the new lights and their respective covers. In each case, Dad looked at the new light, examined the wires in the ceiling, and figured out how they went together so he could install the new ones.
Between the two of us, we got the lights lined up in the hallway where they looked good and threw off adequate lighting.
What a difference it makes! The increased light in the hallway makes it much more inviting when people come over and when I come home. The lights in the nook, and the kitchen both make it easier to function in the kitchen as well as making it more comfortable on the eyes.
It took a couple hours for to take down and put up the five lights Thanks Dad. I couldn’t have done it without you!
