My wife surprises me by coming home with 6 new light fixtures over the past 2 days. She neatly places them in the rooms she wants changed. I am not a fan of finish electrical work, especially ceiling fans and hanging chandeliers. That is exactly what half of them are. Today I installed 4 of them and only have the ceiling fans left. So anyway, I am 48 and still surprise my eye doctor with how close I could read and unlike my wife who has been wearing reading glasses for almost 10 years, I just don't need them. Correction, I didn't need them.
So here I am up on the ladder and all I had to do was start removing the screws from the existing fixture and box. Not a problem but something just did not seem right. Then came loosening the small green ground screw. I could not see a darn thing. By the time I backed away to get focus, I was too far away to see the slot anyway. Then comes hooking up the wires. The damn things were blurry the entire time. Anything small with detail is just a no go if I am to close. I never had this issue before. Yeah, this sucks. It's starting already.
