Let there be light!
Electrician has come and gone. I have lights in all my rooms, except my dining room, because the chandelier my grandparents gave me died. It was working, then it was not. So I need to find a new one. Specifically: I need to find a new one I can afford. I am waiting on the one for my bedroom. I am ok with the ones in the living room — they were cheap until I could decide better, but they’re pretty innocuous. I am very happy with the ones in the bathroom and office.
In yet more from the complaints division, the vendor left a dozen cans of paint in the closet, which I will now need to get to whatever hazardous waste sites or — something. And she — or the movers, or her partner — threw what looks like flowers in the toilet, which is now blocked.

Whatever’s wrong with the chandelier, it will surely be more affordable to fix than to replace. You are a talented person; you can figure it out. It probably just needs a new switch.

The chandelier is old, in bad shape, and almost certainly needs rewiring — even then, it is missing pieces and stuff. I was happy to use it, for the nostalgia, a bit, but it will certainly cost more to fix properly (rewiring plus getting the missing whatevers) than to replace.
