Our house had some very ugly impractical lighting when we bought it. After the fluorescent tube lights died, we ripped out the boxes and started to replace the lights in the kitchen. The pendant lights above the peninsula has take a while to get done but finally it is finished! All the kids did a little bit, but most of the work was done by B and Tiger.
After clearing the counter and taping everything, B drilled a hole in the ceiling.
In order to move the wiring, several holes needed to be drilled in the 2x6s. Tiger worked on that. The drill bit was inferior quality and wasn’t working right, so they used a ratchet to drill it!
After drilling holes, they fished the line through the holes with the help of some rare earth magnets and string. B guided Tiger’s blind hand to connect the washer on the end of the rope to the magnet he was holding…
Success!!!!
Next step is the read directions… unfortunately, the directions said to hire a qualified “electercian” to install the lights and gave no further details.
Lights installed, happy kids.
Thanks everyone for lighting my peninsula. I love it!
