Hahaha just call me Tim aka bob muffuckin villa...mr home improvement himself...
We have a light in our basement that the pull chain is broken on...so when you wanna turn it on you gotta screw in the bulb...so I get home he other night and by habit reach up to screw in the light bulb and end up burning the shit out of my thumb because there was no bulb there only filament. So I have a nice singe mark on my fingernail and let me tell you the smell of burt flesh and fingernail is not pleasant. Then I tried to kill the power and remove the broken fixture in the dark at 2am because I didn't want it to catch fire and ended up electrocuting myself. 7 zillion volts of power went shooting through my body and I dropped the pliers on the floor and called it a night.
So I find out the next day that the bulb shattered. I told my mother what happend and she laughed and wondered why she didn't hear me scream. I told her it was because I didn't lol so she says here I bought a new light fixture go install it. Granted I've never done anything like this before but I grabbed some screw drivers and a step ladder and went at it.
Surprisingly with the instruction it was quite simple...remember to kill the power and check for current before touching it with metal tools worked out for the best. With a friend holding the flashlight and me working my tools for all they were worth, 15 minutes of effort was rewarded when the fixture was installed looking even better than the old one which was hanging up by masking tape lol.
I turn the power on, untie the pull chain, pull and hope for the best. *click* the light comes on and I realize that I have just added yet another skill to my already impressive resume of abilities. I said, " let there be light" and there was.
