Since we had the house painted I put up new lights yesterday. They look great, but what a pain to put up!! The bulb is one of those where you have to line up two pins then turn them to lock in place. Didn't seem like a big deal, but then I realized you can't put the bulb in until it's on the wall because the bulb blocks the cap screw used to connect the unit to the wall. I finally figured that I could rotate the fixture so it was at a 45 degree angle and reach in with my left hand. I said a few naughty words during all this.

Rain, rain, rain, rain. It all ends up in the Mississippi.
