Readers,

The pictures tell the story.

Yesterday Daniel replaced five recessed lights in the sewing domain and cut holes in the ceiling to install twelve new lights, evenly spaced down the length of the room.

Holes for the recessed light fixtures. The shop light was taken down and upturned to light the ceiling work.

Lights.
