New Work

Finally.

When I first got my condo, the main light fixture was a track lighting bar over the center kitchen island. I’ll attach a copy of the track lighting below. While, by all appearances, it should fit into my favored midcentury design, I could not stand to look at it. I made it a point that the light should be removed in a year’s time. Life got in the way from making that happen. But, last weekend I purchased a new light fixture and had the old one taken out.

I had to take the light bar down before the new one could be installed. The bar was bolted into the concrete ceiling, so in order to take down the bar I had to get on the island and use a ratchet wrench to unscrew the screws from the concrete. I made a point of not breaking any of the bars or screws (I’m going to try and resell the items on Craig’s list), they now sit in a very sad pile in the corner of my living room.

I had to hire someone to install the light. I’m missing a few items to actually be able to do it myself namely 1. A concrete drill and 2. A pipe bender tool. Since the power lines need to within a metal pipe, the bender thing is kinda important. Not to mention, that it is near impossible to drill into concrete with a normal drill and drill bit. The installation of the light fixture did not take much time.

This is what the light fixture looks like once it’s been fully installed.

Next up: the bathroom.
