heidiiiii Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Went shopping today. Bought my Cirkit stuff for the house. I think I am ready. If you hear a faint scream in the distance this evening, it will be me. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. I have my trusty book, I have Darrell`s trusting instructions. All I need is a shot of tequilla and I will be ready to dive in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydroped Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hey Heidi, I'm pulling for you! If I can do anyone can do it - I'm technically challenged You're going to love having lights that can be turned on in your house! -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Lights make such a difference. You will be happy with the results. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Also once you light your first house, there is no going back. Every house after that point will be electrified or you'll be unhappy. I bet you can guess how I know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good luck Heidi!! As Nutti said, test as you go so if you run into problems you'll know right away where it's at! Let us know how you made out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Good Luck with a little patience you'll have everything lit up in just a little while. Peggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellandmelissa Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Heidiiii, You can do it. And yer gonna love it. I have two pieces of advice. First, follow nutti's advice. Stop and test at EACH step. And test the lights before AND after installing each one. Second, omit the tequila. You can have that AFTER all the lights are shiining brightly to celebrate. GRIN!

MiniMadWoman Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I don't know . . . I think I'd drink the Tequila as I'm going . . . that way if something doesn't work at least you won't lose sleep over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Ta da!!!!! I did it! I did it! All the wiring is working! In the first run I was getting ready to swear because the tester didnt light. Well I guess I wasnt poking it correctly. As you can see, I HAD to take a pic of first run test. I had no problem with the brads. I made pilot holes with a thumbtack and they went in with needle nose pliers. I checked each time I made a connection. The light isnt permanently in, I just temp. pushed in an outlet and tested the light! Tequila Sunrises for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
