Day 157 - lighting day!

Day 157 started out lovely and by noon was horridly windy. Everywhere dirt was flying and the sky was full of dust. At 12:30 Sheldon came in, stopped at ranch to get utility trailer stopping to test the septic field pump in the terrible winds. Rick was working on finishing installation and back filling today and the finisher fellows were busy in the house.

then we headed to Cowtown. First stop was Eecol for yet another supply of stuff however they shipped it to the wrong location!!!

Next was a dr appt for me where Sheldon chatted up a paving supervisor where he found out we should use recycled asphalt for our driveway, this has his interest quite peaked. I suggested we finish the house first ;-) It was then off to another Eecol location to pick up the order (this batch held 3 garage light fixtures and bulbs and a small roll of wire for over $600).

Stop #4 was Motion Chiropractic where Dr Marcie made Sheldon cry ( he says he didn't really but I saw the tear stains) She said he needs to wait until the ribs heal before coming back but did manage to realign the tailbone again.

Signature lighting was next destination but not much luck. Volvo rentals was GPS destination 6 where the trencher was loaded up and once battened down we made a trail to South Center to buy a gift for Kaylin's upcoming 20th birthday Sunday. By now we were starving so stopped at Ruby Thai Kitchen for a super delicious meal. Two thumbs up!!

Home Depot took up the next couple hours checking cabinets for laundry room

and finding the halo trim kits we need and light bulbs. Lets just say it might be cheaper to roll beeswax candles... we bought 37 bulbs including 1 LED which last for 25 years but cost $45 and we need 9 more LED and more  andCFL and 24 trim kits. We bought all they had and need 16 more! so when just the partial order came to over $750 I was shocked to find out just the pot lighting in your home can cost you a small fortune!

this was full across the back seat..
A quick stop at Lowes proved fruitless as they did not have any LED bulbs but they did have a trim kit that may work but now we are unsure so need to check with the electrician. They did have prebuilt cupboards with corner cabinets though

By now it was 9 pm and the stress of lighting purchases found us driving to Starbucks for the time limited pumpkin latte!

A quick stop at the ranch to unload the trencher and back to town for a cold beer, blog and bed! Tomorrow is another day!
