Lamp and Other Things Electrical


Finally! The custom-made lamp for the rear hallway ceiling has arrived! Unfortunately he couldn't install this right away because of other, pressing electrical issues.

The thunderstorm from Tuesday morning ruined the GFI in the barn for the pasture light. The GFI was located in the hayloft, near where that barn lamp is installed. A dusk-to-dawn sensor is also attached.

While out there our closest neighbor stopped by and let us know that his phone and internet were still out, having suffered a direct hit on his FIOS box. We knew the strikes were hitting close, wondered what was hit - now we know.

He also tried to fix the little TV from my desk top; it can not be fixed. Another casualty of the lightning storm.

I love the lamp and it will look great in the hallway near the rear door.

  1. What a cool lamp, I saw some made from old kerosene lamps (into new modern electric ones). I'll hunt for the photo to show you, looks so neat outside and your place would be perfect for them.

  2. I would love to see that! I have a lamp in the dining room that was converted from kerosene to electric. We need a lamp or two for the front of the house. There has never, ever been a light in the front, ever.
