The first project of 2007: We’re going to paint the hall and the living and dining room. But before we do that we decided to install some spotlights along the hallway and a dimmer switch on either side. Our hallway is very dark, and being the owners of the house we can change that now.
In order to do that I have to run cable through the ceiling, a process that isn’t as easy as I would have liked. There are a lot of joists and other obstructions on my path and it took quite some effort to overcome all of them. But after many hours of finicking with cut of coat hangers and steel fishing hooks, I’m getting quite good in the noble art of fishing wires.
The job is nearly done and now the ceiling looks like Swiss cheese with lots of holes with wires hanging out of some of them. Applying a liberal amount of plaster will take care of that later though, after I’ve installed all the light fixtures.
