A (2 year old pre-lit) tree that won't light on one side. Oh wait, IT DOESN'T LIGHT AT ALL!
Banister garland that's only half lit. Entryway garland that's only HALF lit. ANOTHER tree that's only freaking half lit!!!! C'MON! WHATARETHEODDS??!??!?!! This is not funny.
THANK HEAVEN for a VERY patient, sweet Meister that is going through LIGHT by freaking LIGHT with his meter to fix them for me. So far, he's come to the conclusion that the copper wire has tarnished and it's breaking the electrical circuit. Lovely. But that doesn't mean that all of the lights are bad. It could only be one or two. But give up and buy new? Oh, NEVER! That's not Meister's style. He'll fix it before he forks out money to buy a new one. He made a little probe that allows him to quickly (relatively, anyway) check to see if the light is still good. When he finds a bad one, he sands the wires with fine sandpaper to make the wire shiny and new! He's the epitome of fix it up, wear it out, make it work or do without!! We save SO MUCH MONEY because of him. I sure do love eem.
I have headache. HMPF. Maybe I won't be decorated before Thanksgiving afterall.
