What Do I Have to Do to Get Some Light Around Here?
We’ve discovered a very annoying lighting problem in our living room. Up until we put a wood stove in, we were just slightly irritated about the lack of a light on one side of the living room. But the stove is on that side, and when it’s dark out you can barely see to do anything over there.
We tore the closet that held the furnace and some shelves out so we could put the stove there. We didn’t think lighting would be a problem, because there was a light in the closet. But as it turns out, the socket doesn’t work. Nice.
There’s a shelf sitting a short distance from the stove, and I thought maybe we could put a table lamp there for some light. But there’s not an outlet close by, so we’d probably have to run an extension cord across the floor to plug it in. Then everybody would trip over it.
As soon as we get the money, I want to get an electrician in here to put some more outlets in, fix the light socket, and check everything out. But until then, I guess we’ll be using a flashlight if we need to see much of anything over there.
