After my exertions of yesterday I originally intended to put the two ceiling lights up in my house’s corridor and then take the rest of the day off. Things snowballed, however, because after I’d done that I thought I’d seal them in the plastic bags in which they came prior to fully masking them and their connection cables ready for when I paint the ceiling.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, having done that I thought that I might as well do the same with all of the other ceiling lights that I’d put up previously in the living room.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

After that I couldn’t stop. I thought that If I put more lights up and masked them prior to rubbing the ceilings down it would be better and save a lot of time compared to waiting until after I’d painted all the ceilings as the bare connection cables would have to be masked up anyway. So I went ahead and started putting more lights up and masking them as I went, starting with bedroom three.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I moved on to bedroom one.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And then the kitchen.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And I finished off by doing bedroom two.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve now put up a total of 33 ceiling spots. In the process I found that I’d miscounted when I ordered them as I don’t have 41, I have 43! How I did that I don’t know, but I’ll need to order a couple more complete with bulbs. I also found I’d received one that was incomplete, so I’ll have to ask the supplier to send the missing part when they despatch my follow-up order.<\/p>\n

So that ended up being a day well spent. I’m quite tired now having been up and down my steps umpteen times today, but it was worth it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
