New lights

I have half day Fridays now so I took the opportunity to check another item off the list. Previously we only had one sad little light. Now we have two that are much nicer. It was a huge pain to run electrical to the new light. Ten inches of solid wall doesn't leave much room to fish wires. It might have been a relatively small project, but it took me the better part of 4 hours. We also hung a new number plate a few weeks back. The door is still ugly, but that will change later on.

  1. Wow, I love the lights! We still need to pick out a new light for our front door. I love the idea of having one on each side of the door, but I'm not sure if we'll put in the effort. Haha! Yours look great!

  2. Thanks! Our walls are 10" block construction so we only had a 3/4" gap behind the wire lathe drywall to fish the wires down. I made a mess of the walls doing it, but eventually got it fished to where it needed to go. Eventually the door will be replaced and I think having 2 lights will make a little nicer curb appeal. Those lights are from Home Depot and were only $35 so pretty cheap change!
