On the upside, we now have a new fancy thermostat on the downside, our bedroom light and an outlet in the living room have gone out. The last time this happened, Scott got up on the bed and took out the lighting fixture. This was not before trying to locate the breaker to turn off the power. When he took down the fixture, a whole mass of old wires fell out and we both let out expletives that I won't share. After fiddling around with it we gave up for the night and Scott went to put the fixture back until we had daylight. It was at that point that the light turned back on. Looks like we didn't have the right breaker afterwards and the fixture was hot the whole time. Oops.
Tonight when I got home I noticed that the bedroom light was flickering and the memory of that mess of wires came rushing back. In the grand tradition of so many before me, I ignored it while I made dinner and let in the furnace man to install our new thermostat. It was at that point that I noticed the living room lamp had turned itself off. We either had a ghost or there was a larger problem than just the bedroom lamp. As I sit in the semi-darkness, the light has flickered once and then went out. I am afraid that this will have to wait until tomorrow, we have to figure out how to work our new fancy thermostat now as it is a little chilly.
