New kitchen lighting

9:38 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
We decided to tackle the project of putting in canister/recessed lighting in the kitchen area. My dad did most of the work and received some help/guidance from a few friends (thanks to both Bobs!). Not only did my dad have to put in new lights, run wires, etc, he also had to take out the old lights, drywall the newly empty space and then mud it to match the rest of the ceiling. It was a lot of work, but we learned a lot about electrical work and the end result has made a drastic change in updating the kitchen. I can't wait to see the finished product once the ceiling is painted and the lights are in! Below is the progress from what we started with to what it looks like now...
