Updating the Dining Lighting Fixture: Part 2

I was pretty happy about the new lighting fixture until my handyman pointed out that i needed to cut the extra chains on the top. That means I have to take the lighting fixture out then cut the chains, cords, and put the light back. Actually it wasn't that bad because I could use the daylight. I'm very happy about the outcome. Here are before & after pictures.

Updating the Dining Lighting Fixture

I've finally installed new lighting fixture in my dining room. 70's lighting fixtures in my house is disappearing one by one. I installed this after work because I didn't feel like I wanted to wait until weekend. I had to cut out circuit breaker and my flash light didn't work, I installed this in a dark. I had to use only candle I have which is Christmas candle my colleague gave me. I also used the light from my laptop and cellphone to see which one is black and which one is white wire because they look all the same in a dark. I'm pretty proud that I completed the job by myself without burning down the place.

Before: Is it UFO? No, it's my lighting fixture!


Before: Thank you Jared & Betsy! Your gift card came handy.

Landscaping: Killing Bush

I've been busy killing shrubs/bushes by my front windows. I think they are too big and overpowering for my house. I want to replace them with smaller ones. I felt bad for killing healthy shrubs but sorry, guys, you are UGLY! My back really hurts but I won the battle today.

Painting Dining Room

I'm still alive. And my blog is still alive! I've painted my dining room yesterday. I only painted bottom half so it was not difficult. But it wasn't easy because Jake stepped on the paint and walked around the room with dirty paws. Here are before and after pictures.
