    Hardware/DIY Thread

    I didn't see anything similar, but I figured we could use a catch-all for home improvement/fix-it type shit.

    FIRST QUESTION: Does anyone have experience with removing an MR-16 bulb from a track lighting fixture? Is there some sort of tool that makes this less of a gigantic pain in the ass, especially when it's possible that the bulb has fused to the connection due to heat/age?

    Your best bet is probably going to be needle nose pliers...try and grab a lip and pull...I think there might be a suction cup type of tool, which if it exists will be at Home Depot.

        Ffffuuuuccckkk. I'm trying to avoid breaking the bulb, but a bunch of websites say you might have to. Dumb. I'll look for the suction cup thing!

                    I'll come by and get my alpha male on if you want...we can set it up like Leon and Larry...I can pretend like I know what I'm doing, then you can be like "Nah brah you're doing it wrong, it goes like this" then she will be like "oh shit, Jake just totally pwned that electrician dude, I should totally give him some cooter tonight, shit my pussy's all wet now...I think I'm going to make him an organic steak and buy him some good beer then blow him while he eats while I finger my ass...and if I'm lucky maybe he'll let me get my ripe pablo on."

                    Or that's how it plays out in my mind...

                            Who cares if you break the bulb? You're trying to replace it, right? Man up, son. (I have no idea what a tracklight bulb looks like 'cause that shit is ass-ugly and not in my house.)
