About the only thing that went smoothly was my little trick to shove a wire hanger with a “flag” on the end up through the a hole where I want my light to be so that when I get up into the attic I can locate the location where I want to locate my lights!  (After measuring and remeasuring before I decide EXACTLY where I want the light to REALLY go.)

…and it was all down hill from there.

 I hate DIY’ing when:

1. I have to swim around in blown insulation in a hot attic
2. I sweat
3. I have to wear a headlamp on my sweaty forehead because it slips down constantly
4. I sweat into my face mask which I have to wear to keep the insulation out of my lungs
5. My glasses fog up because I’m sweating in a face mask
6. I take my glasses off because I can’t see anything and I LOSE my glasses in the insulation
7. I give my thumb a blood blister because I pinched it HARD with pliers while trying to manipulate a 12 ga wire into doing what it clearly does NOT want to do
8. I cut my other thumb on SOMETHING and it won’t stop bleeding while I’m up in a hot, itchy, stuffy, STUPID attic and I’m dirty and sweaty and bloody and irritated.
9. You install two light switches — that are the same brand and both new (as in one is not a decade old so maybe they changed their design in the mean time) — and they don’t line up!  Not even close to lining up.  The screw holes …  What the FFFFFlip!
