My Industrial Cabin Build

We got these near Cooperstown NY in 2006, put them in a closet and forgot about them. I tried one a few years ago and it was terrible. Maybe this last bottle is still good. The ones we drank when we got them were good.

There is only one way to find out. I don’t do raspberry so that part of it would be wasted on me. When you opened the previous bottle, was it still carbonated?

This weekend we put in some pull down stairs and I had Jefanna walk me thru the other side of the house and nailed her down on all the light and switch locations.

You might try to go through the motions for lights and switches in the dark too. It's hard to get the same feeling in daylight, and when it's dark you might think of additional switches or especially 3-way's.

I wired our house. I gave Terry a can of spray paint. Told her to spend time in each room and think about it's intended use. Spray a dot of paint at the location she wanted receptacles and switches. Then before I wired we went into each room together and discussed the locations. We didn't move any. She did a very good job of mentally visualizing what we needed. We overkilled receptacles and will never use 15% of them. We used a lot of dimmers, 3way and 4way light switches and use all of them. The thing we struggled with most was organizing boxes where there are multiple light switches. Which one goes closest to the entryway for example. Bathroom with 3 switches in what order?

Oh, forgot to mention "jam switches". Every lighted closet including the pantry should have jam switches. Greatest invention ever.

So it lights up automatically?

Yes. The switch is a push button located in the door jamb, hinge side. Open the door, light on. Close the door, light off. Genius!!!!

They are convenient, but they’re a fair amount of trouble to put in, you need to put a switch leg from the light to the hinge side of the jamb, where you install a very small box that comes with the button switch and the carpenter has to carefully cut the box into the jamb when he installs the door, there’s very little room for error. Probably adds a good $100 to each door a switch is installed on, between buying the special switch and extra labor for the tradesmen. YMMV, but IMHO, a regular switch on the closet wall works just fine.
