My Annual Summer Solstice Party is Saturday. The deck isn't really in shape to receive a party. It needs to be painted which will not happen before Saturday. I spent last evening doing some wiring. I put five can light into the soffet where the new roof extension is. It went well but I tore the crap out of my fingers in the process. That outdoor wire is really difficult to strip.
But, I must have done something right because the lights came on and the house did not burn down . . . yet!
I must say that I am pleased with my method of routing the power up to the lights. I used the existing wiring that powered a spot light on the deck and channeled it up through the dead bug encrusted soffet and over to the new lights. I put 60 watt bulbs in each can, and boy is it ever bright. I'm going to buy some lower wattage bulbs today. Depending on how that works, I may consider installing a dimmer switch.
