Back porch upgrade

Mark spent today rewiring the back porch - which meant he had to climb around in the attic of the porch.  By the time I got home he was dripping wet and exhausted.  Poor baby.  But by golly there is LOADS of light out there now.  And the ceiling lights, the outside floods, the ceiling fan and outlets are all on different circuits now so they can be turned on and off separately.  Excellent!

We never worried about the lighting out there before Mark screened it all in last year because turning on the lights attracted so many bugs that I never went out there at night!  So it's really nice to be able to go out there any time at all now.  And it's REALLY nice to be able to turn on the ceiling fan and the outside floods and turn off the ceiling lights, because with the flood lights on and the inside lights off, makes it possible to see out, but pretty much impossible for anyone to see in (if there were anyone out there to look in to begin with) so it feels very private.  Nice.
