I’ve lived in my current home for over 5 years now. There are some problems with it, it happens when the house is old. One plug doesn’t work in the basement and right above it is a light that doesn’t work. When I moved in, I changed a bulb out and got nothing. I moved on to other projects and finally got around to working on the basement again recently. Thinking the light was a lost cause, I decided to give another light bulb a try. Success! It only took me 5 years to figure out the light wasn’t broken, it just needed a new bulb. End of story right? Wrong.
Thinking I would’ve learned my lesson, changing the light bulb out in the hallway nearby that I thought didn’t work would seem like an obvious idea. Nope. Weeks went by where I’d walk through a dark hallway to get to a bathroom(again with no light, but the entire fixture was missing here). I’d done it for years, so it was nothing new. Tonight, I thought I’d put my new found knowledge to the test. Success again! This time it only took me a few weeks to figure out it needed a new bulb. Wisely, my wife was the one who installed the new light fixture in the basement…I’ve been shocked before.
