"DA WEATHER SO CONFLICTED.....MAN!"🐸......NORTHWEST ADVENTURES! 😀
“Da Weather So Conflicted…..Man!”🐸
Such a big word for such a small Frog Lol!😇
PEPE was so correct, all last night it rained, even into late this morning!😅
Silvertop buckled on his tool belt, and started pulling electrical wire through the ceiling……..
I was installing a new light “Can” in Liz’s laundry room ceiling!😊
“Inside steps today Cot, it’s nasty outside!”😮
Pulling wire be yourself can be challenging, Silvertop needs two of himself………
One on each end pulling or pushing the wire Lol😇
Neither Cot, nor PEPE were much help!🙄
“Silbertop, PEPE not electrician, not my thing……Man!”🐸
Hmmm…..🤔
This was a job for what they call “ Electrical Fish Tape”!
It sounds exactly like it is………….
You are “Fishing” with a long spool of rigid fish tape flat wire.😊
I pushed the tape through the ceiling…..
I could hear it moving, it was close to the exit hole I drilled!😇
I moved my ladder over to try and grab the wire with needle nose pliers……..
It slid away from the hole!😮
I reversed my plan, and started at the exit hole and “Fished” towards the 6 inch diameter, circular hole in the ceiling for the lighting can.
The tape slid sideways in the ceiling!😳
“Cot are you sure you can’t help…. a little?”😻
My furry child just stared at me, with those large green eyes!😺
After two hours, suddenly my fish tape made it through!🤗
Ahhh!!😇
I finished the electrical connections and flipped on the switch!
“We have a light PEPE!”☺️
“Silbertop, look outside, we hab a light as well!”🐸
The Sun was out!😎
“PEPE grab your backpack, I think we both deserve a hike!”😊
“It about time Silbertop, you slow electrician……Man!”🐸
Hmmm……….🤔
Enjoy the day my friends!☺️
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
@silvertop, your posts are a consistently delightful blend of practical DIY, philosophical frogs, and Pacific Northwest scenery! I was chuckling along with you and PEPE as you wrestled with that light fixture – I'm sure many of us Steemians can relate to those home improvement struggles! The "Electrical Fish Tape" saga was particularly entertaining.
And what a reward at the end – sunshine and a hike! Your photos are always stunning, and I love how you capture the beauty of your surroundings. It’s inspiring to see you making the most of the day after a frustrating morning. Keep sharing your adventures, Mike! I'm always looking forward to them! What trail did you and Pepe hike?
