Ambiguously Disgruntled Manifesto

wasting your time since 1975

Some of you may know what I'm talking about, other won't, but you get to listen to what I have to say anyway... cause it's my Blog... and uh... No! No! C'mon, keep reading, it'll be Well worth your time...

So, I up and decided to put in a motion sensor light at the base of the stairs by the basement door. I believe it was Jason's idea after a few months of casual talking of putting a light there, and my "cheap-o, half-ass" light that I ran down there with an extension cord only manifested a loose wiring job in the light fixture at the top of the wood stairs leading out the back dooor from the laundry room, from which the extension cord was running thanks to one of those "light bulb + two-prong plug" type adapter thingies. So, I up and put in a Real outdoor-type-grade light fixture above the stairs, and then ran the motion sensor light off of one of the new circuits I put in this past May/June. After initially thinking it was going to be on the basement lighting/outlets circuit, I realized that the junction box I was running out of belonged to the downstairs outlet/light in the back bathroom circuit (don't ask, leftover wiring quirk from before I started!). After some hemming and hawing about wonderng if I was adding too much to that circuit, I realized that a 60-watt light bulb will draw about .5 of am amp, off the 20-amp circuit breaker, so it would hardly make the fuse start blowing all the time.

So now it's done...
