About Me
Welcome to my blog. My name is Connie, and a few years ago, I had water leaking through my roof. It got all muddled with the electrics, and one of my fixtures stopped working. After I got the roof repaired and let the electrics dry out, I managed to rewire the fixture myself. It felt like quite the triumph as I have never wired anything before. I decided to create a blog to help others who may be interested in doing basic electrical projects, so in between driving the kids to soccer, walking the dog and weeding my garden, I plan to post here. I hope you enjoy it.
