2 Light bulbs vs 3 Need Greaters. The show down



Some really big news is that we managed to change two light bulbs at the house. This doesn’t sound like much, I Know, but these where really high light bulbs. Since no one around has a ladder high enough (let alone not made out of sticks) one rainy day we made the stunning realizations that Abad had been storing couple sections of scaffolding behind our house, Score! If only all the pieces had all matched, and the inserts weren’t filled with concrete….but eventually, 2 hours latter came to a point where we had the two levels put together. Granted the where being held together with zip ties and electrical tape, but we weren’t ones to complain at that point. Up we went to change the dead bulbs, only to discover that the light fixtures required only tiny little bulbs which necessitated of course for us to salvage parts from the rest of the house and change the light fixtures. Inside the conduit we found a dried out centipede of considerable size which was a little surprising, but 4.5 hours latter…we had light. Until the power went out and realized that whole circuit in the main room of the house isn’t on the battery backup. Oh well.all for the sake of science. Because now when someone asks us “How many needgreaters it takes to change a lightbulb?” we can confidently reply, “three. It requires three Need greeters 4.5 hours to change a light bulb” Now you know too.
