I had to do exactly that. In my case I was helped by the fact that our
house had a laundry shute that was inside a larger enclosure. I used a
cord with a heavy lead fishing weight to go down from the attic and
pulled up the standard copper wires. I installed boxes for the bedroom
fan and lights in the bedroom closets. BUT, I was much younger then!

Boo on the avocado. Although I have once had a guacamole that was ok, I
am not a fan of avocado in its many disguises.
6 ea Red bell peppers, roasted
OR
26 oz Can roasted sweet red
-peppers
2 tb Canola or other veg. oil
2 c Chopped onions
2 ea Garlic cloves - peeled and
-left whole
1/2 ts Red pepper flakes
1/8 ts Cayenne
OR to taste (See note below)
1 ts Salt (optional)
16 oz Can diced tomatoes undrained
14 oz Canned coconut milk
5 oz Water
11 oz V-8 Juice
If using roasted fresh red peppers, set them aside in a tightly
covered bowl to cool and then stem, seed and peel them.
If you are using canned roasted red peppers, rinse them well in a
colander and set aside to drain.
In a covered nonreactive soup pot on medium heat, warm the oil. Add
the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes, salt and saute for about 15
minutes or until the onions are very soft and translucent. Remove
the pot from the heat and add the canned tomatoes, coconut milk,
water & V 8 combination and the drained roasted red peppers.
In small amounts place soup in a blender, puree the soup until smooth.
Place pureed soup in another container and continue placing more
chunky soup into blender until all the soup is smooth.
Return soup to pot and cook on medium heat until hot. Serve
immediately.
A small amount of cooked rice can be stirred into the soup at serving
time if you want to. The rice will cut back on some of the spice
level.
This soup reheat easily in microwave on medium heat setting.
NOTE: Adapt spices to own spice level.
A delightful flavorful soup. Will do again.
