This morning the chandalier in the dining/sewing room was on. Note this light fixture dates from the '70s. I accidently hit it, and it shorted in a Spectacular Fashion. There were flames. Quickly turned the wall switch off and J/S ran and grabbed the fire extinguisher. All was OK; it went out by itself.

We have the original chandalier from the 1920s, that matched the one in the living room. J/S now has the task of making that work and installing it (after taking the destroyed one down, of course.)

Certainly woke me up this morning. :-0

Not the best way to start the day -- but better than it could have been...

Nothing like an adrenalin surge to REALLY get you going in the morning...
:-O

I'm glad that turned out to only be scary and not a major crisis!
