The electrician is here and is jacking up my ceiling. He has a little saw and is making holes for the new lights.  I get to monitor (and be a little helper too).  The good news is that we have a drop ceiling in our first floor - which makes out "real" ceiling about 10 feet.  Getting rid of these crappy lights is a joy. I also love gadgets and electricians have plenty of them so checking out his gear is making my day a little better.
UPDATE: Electrician has injured himself! He scraped his elbow on some drywall. Blood. Everywhere.  Don't worry, while I bandaged him up (which I think he was impressed with my First Aid supplies) I told him I get hurt a lot too. In fact, I got three substantial injuries in the four days we were on vacation. That's right, not even renovating. Just vacationing. I just recovered the ability to hear out of my left ear yesterday and I have a gash that is pretty nasty on my right ankle. The last injury... well, let's just say when you are heading down a water slide and the guide tells you to lift your butt up in your tube - you better listen. Unless you want a black and blue bottom for a while.  But, it's great to know I am not alone. Even the pros get injuries.
