You're so lucky to have an electrician by trade in the family!
My hubby's mighty talented in that dept. - he has his degree in electrical engineering, but he's former Active Duty AF and now a USAFR C-17 pilot for his career. He's not current on electrical licensing tho', so he's not supposed to do the electrical stuff.
We're not lighting or heating our coops as the winter's tend to be relatively mild by OK comparison, but we are using clear corrugated panels for the South side of the roof for natural lighting.
This is the longest I've lived anywhere in my life! I grew up an "Army brat" (was born at Ft. Sill) and we moved on average every 3yrs when when I was a child. Due to family living in OK, we always went there for family vacations to visit them tho'. When I was 14yrs old, I went to live with my grandparents in a little BFE town just outside of Enid - even left the area in mid-'91 to move to AZ, then moved back to OK when my grandfather passed away so I could help my grandma.
I've been a transplant to the Pacific NW since mid-1997, but I left Enid once and for all back in 1995. Still have family all over OK and mainly in Garfield County tho' and go back to visit at least once a year!
I got a promotion to management with the loan company I worked for and was transferred to Reno, NV summer '95... then moved to AZ... and then TX... before finally moving to WA.
I'm here 'cuz I met hubby in early '97, we clicked, and I decided to give "us" a chance. We've been together ever since!
The relationships a great fit for us, but we're still debating this weather up here! LOL But, to be honest, I'd rather live here than in OK. It's extremely rare for us to have those wicked winds, extreme temps, or tornadoes to deal with.
My goodness have you been busy! I've lived her all my life. However, my parents and younger siblings moved to Texas in 1986 - The oil and aviation fields crashed - my dad got a job offer and took it. They live NE of Dallas in "no-man's-land" (Property in one town, actual address in a differet town and utilities in town - LOLOL) Lost my dad in 2005...my siblings and their children all live in Texas. I have one brother who lives here in Norman. There we 10 of us children - so my mom and dad had their hands full - plus our grandmother lived with us until she passes away a few years before my dad. We have family all over the state of Oklahoma - but not real close - we were always busy with our clan.
Congratulations on meeting your perfect match and I pray you have many, many joyous years together. Thank your husband for his service to us and this wonderful country we live in. My dad was a vietnam vet (100% disabled) - but that never slowed him down. Take care...
