Sharol, at least they are sending a replacement, and worst case, like you said it can be used for lights. That got me to thinking, though! I think I'll put in an electrical outlet right near where my pop door is! Someday I would like to have an Add a Motor, and even if I don't then the outlet will be useful.
I went to both Atwoods and Lowes today picking up electrical stuff. Atwoods is soooo much cheaper! I went to Lowes to get the things that the farm store didn't have. I also bought a new pair of work gloves. I tore mine up this summer from working on the coop. It's so cold now and windy! My dad is supposed to come over and help me wire up the coop this afternoon. I guess we're going to freeze out there. Strike that... at least my hands will be fine in my new gloves! LOL Anyway, I also bought an outdoor metal electrical box that has the flip covers over the face. Figured I can run LED rope lighting under the eaves and plug it in outside and put it on a timer! Wouldn't that be cute? I could use that all year long as my "outdoor light" and it will be low voltage and not draw too much. Anyway, might as well do it NOW while I'm going to wiring it up and it won't really be any extra work at this point. No way would I want to try to add something like that back in later. I got a light switch for my interior light in the ceiling and a couple of outlets for inside for my heat lamp and water heater. My poor little babies are still going to be tiny this winter! And my new hatches will be even smaller! Poor things! They are in the garage, and even at that- they are huddled under the heat lamp most of the time the last couple of days since it's cooled off into the 50's. They are going to be two weeks old --or maybe a bit older by the time my news ones hatch. Will that be too much of a difference to be put together? I sure hope not!
