No picture on this one. Sorry
Last week Homie got industrious and completed several small projects that needed doing around the house. One of them was installing a motion sensing light switch in the pantry. He did this because usually it gets turned on in the morning and burns all day until Homey gets home. He turns it off, and then turns it off several more times before we shut down the kitchen for the night. Now we have a neat-o apparatus that turns the light on when it senses someone walk in the pantry, and then automatically shuts off 5 minutes later. It is very helpful. I'm sure that our next electricity bill will reflect a substantial decrease. The other benefit to this little switch is that it has provided hours of entertainment for the children. They have a quest to get into and out of the pantry with something in hand without the light coming on. I have to admit that I have even tried it -- but not to the extreme lengths that the kids go to. So far no one has made it. They are still testing out the parameters of the motion sensor. Maddo almost made it by slithering along the floor and moving very slowly, but then once she had something in her hand she retreated too quickly and zing!
The switch came in a 2 pack from Costco. We have been discussing where to put the other one. Homie is threatening to put it in the kids' bathroom. He's hoping it would have an effect on their 20 minute showers.
