Project 365 #354: 201214 The Lighthouse Keeper
If there's a story to my day today, then it's about making this scene happen.
I started with a walk, then at about ten got straight into wrestling with drills, cables and conduit.
Since the cabin went in, the lighting in the garden has needed some changes. I wanted to make the route from the kitchen nice and bright, but without using a really high mounted monstrous floodlight that would rile the neighbours.
The solution was pretty easy. I've put up three tiny little 10W LED floodlights. They're really small, not much bigger than those big packs of "cook's matches", but they do pack a punch. And of course, running at 40 milliamps you can fit several and not worry about energy costs.
Like I said, I started at ten, and started putting tools away at two thirty, though I was then another hour after that with my old man doing the connecting up.
I'm not a naturally gifted DIYer and work very, very slowly.
Nevertheless, I'm delighted with the results. :)
