An electrician came in and installed 8 Can lights with LED lamps for general illumination. Two can lights in each zone with its own switch (4 switched circuits). Each came with its own 9w LED (65w equivalent). Lots of light and very low current draw. Better than it was before though i may replace them with 100w equivalents. Either way - best of both worlds.
Began to install dry wall onto the ceiling. I ran 2x2 lumber along the edge of the sill to have a place to anchor wall framing (to be discussed later). Then I ran 1x3 lumber along the edges of the wall, a 1x3 two feet inside (for a screw point for the drywall AND a screw point for the valence (to be discussed later), and 1x4's (for screw points) where two dry wall boards meet.
I also decided to create removable plates for areas where plumbing ran through the ceiling (I hate tearing out drywall to find water leaks). This changes some locations of 1x3's.
I've only managed to get 7 drywall panels installed, taped and mudded so far. Time for a labor saving device (a dry wall lift) to install the remaining 20 panels.
