Making the house sparkle.

After a relatively warm winter with little snow, it is finally starting to feel more like winter. We had some beautiful snow last night. There was no wind, so the heavy, wet snow stuck to all the tree branches, making the drab landscape come alive with its magic.

And that's why I don't play with electricity. LOL........ :o
Very pretty chandelier. :)
Definitely not bad for $60. :) :) :)

If you needed snow, you should have said something. I would have gladly shared. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Jon! :-)

I am thinking that $60. was a real bargain now. :-)

It is good to have a healthy fear of electricity. I should probably be more wary of it than I am. Over the years I have gotten a fair number of mild shocks when working with it.

Thanks for the offer to share some snow! LOL!!! Could you hold on to it for a while and send me some in July? LOL!!!
:-)

I'll see if I can make some room in the freezer. LOL......

I would love to switch over a lot of our outlets for 3 prongs, and I know it's supposedly fairly easy, but I won't do it myself. LOL.......

Just changing outlets is pretty easy. The problem lies with the wiring in older houses. Houses built in the 1950s and earlier usually have a 2-wire system: one black wire, one white. The black wire is "hot", the white wire is "neutral". Sometime around 1960, the standards changed to a 3-wire system with black, white and green (or bare wire), which is the ground wire. The ground wire connects to that third prong. So if the wires inside the walls are the old 2-wire system, just replacing the outlets won't get you grounded outlets. You need that third ground wire. So, the bottom line is: call an electrician! LOL!

Ahh... Chances are we have just two.
Maybe.
I think the house is built in late 50 or right around 1960.
Some of the outlets have the three prong holes but most are just the two.
