the CHANDELIER (now) in my CARPORT! (a.k.a. the 'after pics')

For the story behind this huge brass light fixture. Taking advantage of the day off today, I spent a few hours outside and DID indeed manage to get it hung up and lit up -- so here's the as-promised "AFTER" pics?!! :-) :-) :-) I actually wired it to a cord that runs one way and plugs into my existing carport lights (which have various sensors attached to control them automatically) and a 2nd cord going over to the wall and ending in a dimmer switch, so I can independently control it. (read: leave it actually turned off most of the time probably, and dimmed down halfway or so when turned on, as in the 3rd pic)

Since that first showing, I did indeed tighten its arms all back up and closely examine its sockets and wiring for safety. As is also probably pretty obvious -- I ended up choosing to leave its arms (mostly) in their randomly bent up condition. I kinda think I *like it* that way for some silly reason...?? <lol> Currently with 25w 'decorative incandescent' bulbs in it, I still need to experiment with little individual shades on each one -- I do have a couple piles of those somewhere around here too, just gotta find 'em and get the ladder out again...?? ;-) :-)
