lights, camera, action!

Downlights are GO! We put in the 21 downlights throughout the internal rooms (excluding the linen closet, which will be something different - not special, just different). A LOT of work on Drew's side of things - measuring, cutting, drilling, up and down ladders into the ceiling space etc. Hardly any little holes to be plugged up and touched up (my job).

At least we know the insulation is working as the roof space was boiling hot, even in the nice winter days we have. Now they need to be wired up, then the switches and the switches wired up. The buckets are our 0.85c solution to the $18.00 commercial 'teepees' required for downlights where insulation is nearby - a fire safety requirement. Of course we'll test - but we ran it past the experts anyway, who gave it the thumbs up for a good economic solution that works just as well.
