Tierney is a handyman around her house. (Technically, I guess she would be a handywoman.) So far she has rewired a ceiling light fixture; put together bookcases, a queen size bed frame and patio furniture; repaired her garbage disposal and fixed her hot water heater. Instead of calling her dad, brother or repairman, she just googles the problem and then watches YouTube videos as tutorials. Too bad she does not still live here. For the past 4 nights, we haven't had any lights on our deck or backyard. All three lights went out at the same time. How strange and coincidental. Having no lights is dangerous because it's pitch black in the middle of the night and makes for scary trips down the steps when I have to go outside. Anyway, Linda decided to take matters into her own hands and try to fix it herself. There is some kind of separate breaker place for the outside outlets/lights. She found that in the garage and checked if it was flipped. Nope. Then she climbed up on a chair on the deck and took the deck fixture glass shade off to check the light bulb. (Please, no "How many brunettes does it take to change a light bulb?" jokes.) It wasn't that easy because the fixture is so old its practically an antique and she could not get it apart without breaking it. The flood lights were different light bulbs, not something you have laying around the house. She is going to try and find replacement bulbs in the next few days. She has to climb on a ladder to reach the flood lights. If you don't see any posts in the next few days, she probably fell off the ladder or electrocuted herself. There might be something in the wiring that caused everything to blow at the same time. She'll have to google it to find out... or just call Tierney.
