Front Yard Lamp

Our outdoor lamp had been leaning over more and more as gravity inexorably stretched the cables, so I finally switched off the power and chopped up the entire thing. It lay there on our front lawn like a decayed corpse for several months until we finally found the perfect lamp post at Lowes. We hired an electrician/handyman recommended by our neighbor to install it, since I’m not fond of mixing and setting concrete and trying to get it level. He did a great job, and my wife decorated the concrete with stones before it dried. It looks much better than the old lamp!
