today we removed the wired Geeni motion sensing light/camera on the garage that no longer works since we changed to Shaw, sigh… this one, as well as two cameras inside the house, stopped working, but the one in the garden is still working perfectly…

it didn’t take too long, but dealing with any type of electrical always makes me nervous…

so far it looks good…

hoping that we can sell the one we took down as it worked perfectly;-)…

I finally installed the Nest Hub I received as a Christmas present… it is on my bedside table and now it also acts as a clock and photo album…

I am learning to speak more softly as my friend Hey Google, is right beside me…

for quite a while I couldn’t figure out why there was still a big G in the middle… the one in the kitchen (which my grandson installed) didn’t have that… went in and reviewed all the set up info but no help!

then I realized it was the plastic cover for the screen, lol…

and of course I had to rearrange other pieces… the salt lamp moved to where the Mini had been and then the Mini moved into the computer room…

and they all connected and worked properly… yay…

today my new electrician came over and hooked up the tp-link light switch that I’ve had for ages… the process included going to HomeDepot to get another switch and faceplate cover, finding the correct connection on the electrical panel, replacing the switches and closing it all back up… he also checked and discovered that I can put a switch in the kitchen, but not the dining room…

so I am happy to report that now the bathroom light can be turned on and off with Google Home… will need to do a bit of drywall repair…

I am thrilled;-)…

hmmm…

big girl pants, colleague, electrical, hmmm, kitchen sink, landscape, mow the lawn, plumbing, purple finch

first thing this morning I spotted a purple finch at the front bird feeder… from there the day went downhill a bit…

Purple Finch...

Purple Finch…

the kitchen sink appeared to be blocked, even though I thought I had unblocked it on Sunday, what with the big girl pants and all…  my son-in-law came over to check it out and discovered it was actually broken and leaking when the tap was running… he found George’s plumbing supplies and picked up a few things and thought he had it fixed, but not so… so he contacted a plumber friend of his to stop by and see if he can sort it out… now the plumber needs to come back in the next few days to fix it, sigh…

Jeff couldn’t even mow the grass while he waited, because the pond guys were busily working and had blocked the entrance to the shed where the lawnmower lives…

trying to sort out the landscaping for the new pond area seems to be a bit difficult as well… not sure exactly what plantings are included so look forward to getting this sorted out…

and their electrical guy is very busy so I am trying to connect with my guy to see if we can get this piece done in the next few days…

feels like the money is flying out the doors and windows, lol…

good news is that my colleague is back from a few days away and another colleague who has been off for a few months has also returned…
