Light Switch Replaced

Light in one bedroom failed. Wasn't the light bulb. Worried that it's the light fixture or the wiring in the attic, but turned out to be the light switch. At Home Depot, found that it's the cheapest type of 15A, 120V single-pole switch: $1.30 incl. tax.

Top 5 Reasons NOT to use CA

CA (Cyanoacrylate) glue, super glue, instant glue, ... may just be the greatest thing that comes in small bottles.
Especially for model airplane kits where everything "interlocks", you can puzzle the pieces together, add a drop of CA to each joint, and you're done.
On the other hand, there also disadvantages, the top 5 being:
  1. The bottle always clogs up
  2. The fumes sting my eyes
  3. I've glued myself to the plane too often
  4. I'm in no hurry to finish an airplane because I already have too many airplanes
  5. It doesn't "sand" well
