HOLMFIRTH

Bought a new light to go over the bed the one we had operated with a simple on and off  push button ,
Impossible to get so I got a bathroom light with a pull switch , what a nightmare to fit  , wiring up was the easy part getting the face plate to fit over the inner plate and locate two bolts that hold it together was hard  , the bolts where too short the innards of the wiring had to fit back behind the plate and screw the nuts on to hold the the light together , the bolts became loose so you had to unscrew the wall plate to retighten them ,  then the pull switch wouldn't work pulling the cord did not do anything . Then I got it all together and the connector blocks and the earth wiring blocks would line up correctly so the face cover wouldn't sit right  .  I over tighten one of the doom nuts and the bolt knocked the doom of so it looked  like a normal nut , then the  light didn't look level I ended up putting the old fitting back on , fcuk it will take it back and get a refund .

Which is what I did I bought two new glass shades which made the old fitting look better than the original shades .

Also took of the mirrors behind our bed I know they reflect light and make the room look bigger they also looked dated so off they came and I will just paint the wall behind white to match the rest of the bedroom .

Most of the work we wanted to do to try and make it  more attractive to sell is complete obviously the gardening is always work in progress due to  the changing seasons .

We have agreed when we sell this we are going back to Holmfirth we went to view a cottage which would be ideal it is near a shop pub and fish and chip shop plus two garden centres all with in a few minutes walk so fingers crossed we get this sold and we can move on .

I know we have viewed other houses at different locations the trouble is nothing compares to life in Holmfirth unless you have lived there it is hard to understand there is no other place like it .
