home improvement...why?

I don't get along well with most home improvement projects. Yesterday I faced the daunting task of hanging a new light in the kitchen. I will spare you the bone-chilling details. I will tell you that after approx. five hours of sheer torture the light is hanging. The cords are all twisted and the light does not work. All the twisting and turning must have knocked something loose. Tonight I will take it all down and start over. I am OK. Don't worry about me. However, if the light gives me anymore trouble it will find itself in the backyard.
