Why is it , when your are not looking for a job , people want to hire you ????
When I first purchased my old ranch and decided to remodel it ,the one thing I really wanted was the old style Kerosene lanterns for outside lights, but wired for 120 volt lights . I know they make them but could not find any I really liked and the prices were crazy for what there was avalible .
So I did the next best thing . I made my own . I ordered a case of new "oil burning" Kerosene lamps from Ebay . They were cheap at under $10 a piece . I then headed to Home Depot to the lamp part section and bought new light bases , lamp cord wire and twinkling type 40 watt light bulbs .
The Kerosene lamp company asked me what I planned to do with so many . I told them my plan and they asked that I send them a picture when done .
The first one took me about an hour to convert and after that they averaged about 30 minutes a piece .
I sent the company a picture of my finished product and by the end of the day had a reply from them asking if I would consider wholesaling the electric Lanterns to them .
Now I have $13 in total cost for each one . I could not find anything at less than $100 when I was first looking.
And the nice part is these lamps are the real deal !!!!
