Busy night
Ok, gotta keep this one short. I'm under the gun for a few things and I'll be heading out with CHH and the Gang for a few beers at lunch ... 2$ Pint Thursdays! Anyways, I installed 32 of the 38 miser iridescent lights last night. I had to leave 6 out since those circuits had dimmers on them. For some reason, when you have a dimmer in the line, the lights flicker till you add at least 1 regular incandescent light ... Weird. It's as if you need a power sink to absorb the extra current. After wrapping up that effort, I put a bit of weather stripping on the windows and door leading to the back-50. It's in the room where the wood-burning stove is located so I'm almost certain that we have a lot of energy loss there. This should help a bit but I should get the door replaced with something that has a better solution than single pane glass crammed into a sold-wood core. It's starting to get cool and cranking up the stove is not long off. Oh, and traffic this morning was a bugger ... again. No accidents in my way, just a lot of depressingly congested volume. Bleh.
