Let's Start with the Can Lights In the Kitchen
There is nothing wrong with acting as your own contractor when doing a kitchen remodel or improvement. If you know the process, you can save a some money in completing the project. I was asked to help out this homeowner in getting some can lights installed. This is what it looked like after day one, our portion was wrapped up the next day.
Tom - Looks like a great little project. I would like some can/recessed lights in my kitchen as well.

Good morning Tom,
Fine craftmanship as usual.
With the new lighting the cook should get better!
Make yourself a great day.

Good morning Tom. Glad you were able to help. My NJ contractor told me wisely to never mess with electric and I haven't.

Nothing like plenty of light in the kitchen! My first home had one small ceiling fixture and it was always so dark.

I think can lights are attractive. In my old age I find that I prefer brighter lighting in the important places like the kitchen and bathrooms. What would you suggest?

Sussie Sutton Have to share my lighting comment - LED.

Your portion, apparently on top of the fridge, looks like nuts and crackers, but I can't tell what's in the big jar.
Well, no matter. I hope your portion is enough.

Nicely done, Tom. This kitchen will be much more attractive after this job is done.

When done right, they are great, but recently i saw a DIY job where they hung out a little too far instead of bing flush, wish i would have snapped some pics for you. Have a good Tuesday

I expect that many readers are wishing for better lighting in their kitchen.
