My Clever Husband

Randy has always been a creative problem solver, which is one of the many things that I admire about him. Today was a great example of that admirable problem solving skill.


When we moved into our house 4 years ago, it came with an ancient chandelier in the dinning room. We have always hated it, but could never justify spending money to get a new one (times that I have priced them, they have been around $200 ~ at least for the ones that we tend to like.) The day after Thanksgiving we generally avoid all stores because we don't like crowds. Well, today, we decided to venture into Home Depot to get some things for our backyard. While there, we came across a nice chandelier that we both liked for only $40, so we grabbed it. I was so excited to get it hung up today.

Randy's left side is still pretty weak, so this wasn't an easy project for him. However, his great problem-solving skills came in handy today. Randy pulled out the tallest tripod he has and used it to hook the piece to while he was working on the wiring. I captured a picture.... what a brilliant man!




Here is a picture of the completed project:




We are trying to find cheap projects we can do around the house that will make the house a little bit nicer. I think this light fixture was a great addition!
