Good Help Is Hard to Find
May. 4th, 2005 05:37 amI got home from work yesterday to find my beautiful new light fixture shedding light in my bathroom -- with a chain-cord coming out so that it could also be turned off. This was good.
There was power flowing to my studio, my living room, the hot water heater, my lamps, my desk outlet, and my tv/DVD/VHS. This was good.
I fed my good friend some beer and talked. This was good.
The Ex came downstairs with plaster mud to fill the gaps between the drywall patch and the rest of my wall in the bedroom. This was good -- and I gave him beer too.
The three of us sat around in my living room and talked. Also good.
Sometime after nine o'clock, my daughter called from the bathroom, "Mom, there's a problem with the new light!"
I went into the bathroom to investigate, and found that although the base of the three-light fixture is a couple of inches above the mirrored medicine cabinet, the curved light supports curve down far enough that they prevent the door from opening more than two inches.
Ooops. . . Not so good.
