Pot lights and trim

Sunday, June 29, 2008

I spent most of today working on my condo - installing three 4" pot lights in the valence over the counter in my kitchen. Last week I took these 3 cupboards down, and needed something in it's place so it looked right (like it was meant to be.) It is normally a challenge to run wiring in an already existing structure, and today was no different. But with the Lord's help I managed with good success (unless you are counting the time it took.) However, I didn't get the electric done for the furnace / fireplace / heat pump, as I was hoping.

Once I had that up and working, I put most of the trim back on in the master bedroom. Next is to hang the window treatments, then vacuum. Oh, need to empty the closets and paint in there, too. And hang / hook up some lights in the closets as well.

Also today, I had the opportunity to fix some drywall in one of my neighbor's apartment. She (and elderly widow) slipped and pulled on the curtain, which in turn pulled the curtain rod out of the wall. So it's a privilege to have the tools and ability to fix it for her, which will take about 5 min out of my next 3 days. And this is good, as I'm sure the word will get around that I can fix things. And am willing to do so, as it gives good in-roads with the neighbors.
