So, I attempted to install a light fixture this weekend. I had my doubts. I am not "handy." When I turned the power back on, walked back to the light switch flipped it on, and the light actually came on- well, I can hardly explain the overwhelming sense of raw masculinity and satisfaction I felt. To a lesser degree, I get this same feeling from changing a light bulb.
My intention is not to brag. (Well, maybe a little.) But also, just to ask the group if you share this sentiment and what tasks (greater or smaller) have you accomplished that left you feeling like Al Borlin on HGH.
Ive done a few light fixtures. I definitely felt the sense of accomplishment when I changed my outdoor patio sconces about a year ago. Make sure to flip the circuit breakers and if you can always work with your right hand when touching wires (left hand has a more direct shot to your heart if you get electrocuted).
