But first the story:
After taking down the new brown light, the back of which was too long to fit properly on my siding, I put up the new black light. . . . Only to find out that it would not fit snugly against the siding.
Due to the inclement weather that batters this side of the house come winter, a flush fit is absolutely necessary.
So I layed out an old car mat and traced the shape of the back piece. 
Cut it out leaving a nice 1/2-inch "seam allowance" . . .
Trimmed the inside, but left extra on the bottom where the section of the lamp back hung below the extended siding.
Hooked up the new light and wallah . . . it looks like part of the lamp. It will also prevent water from getting in.
All of this excitement was too much for Dolly who spent the day working on her tan. We're getting some lovely weather here lately. Cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoons with plenty of colorful leaves to brighten our day.
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

What a great idea that was!
Having recently installed one of my own, I can appreciate the excitement over a new porch light!
Wow! You did a great job on your porch light. Could you please come to my house and fix my light in the computer room aka alternate quilt room? Hubby does not have the ambition to get it done. It fell off the wall the last time he fixed it! LOL!
Dolly really is enjoying the nice weather. No sunburn, right?
