My father has been convinced, finally, to let me put more lighting in my room. Now we just have to negotiate out a mounting method. I want it on the ceiling, he doesn't want holes in the ceiling. Also, there's a wiring question.

But ultimately, I'll end up with 2x32W T8, or 4x32W T8, all in four foot lengths. Enough light to finally overpower the monitor and relieve a lot of eyestrain.

How old are you? Just curious.

cost of damage?

.

Cover looks fine, but I won't know for sure until the brother gets over here to help me lift it back into place (I didn't realize how fucking heavy they were). Regardless, below any deductible I would have. If it is just the lifter, $300 tops.

Could not believe the sound -- I was upstairs in my Man Cave and ran downstairs because I thought the roof was coming off.

Looks like the lifter is $150. I'll have to see the damage and if the cover is fine (it should be), that should be the only expense. I need to find the invoice to confirm the part. I think I can probably install it myself with some help.

I used to play dean martin and frank Sinatra on first dates in my car in high school. Girls loved that.

Seriously my thing in hs for first dates was pizza shop near the lake to pick up calzones then drive up to a spot on the lake where no one ever went to. Then on the way back pick up cannolis and sit on the dam over looking the lake.
