Glitz (part 1)



Friday when I got home from town a parcel awaited me on the front step.



I opened up the box and began to gather up the pieces and parts I'd need to mount the candelabra in the dining room wall.



Just gathering the saws, drills, and electrical tools together was an arm load from the shop.



The wall sconce will mount on the far side of the curio cabinet.



Locating the correct height , getting the box centered, and marking it out properly is very important.



Drilling the points to "connect the dots" with the Sawzall for the electrical box keeps the cut clean & neat.



A short piece of 2 wire #14 Romex connected to the box to be strung down the interior wall to a connection point. Shutting OFF the electrical power to the dining room by flipping the circuit breaks



The electrical box firmly secured inside the wall cut ready to be hooked up.

Great job with a gleaming finished product. I hope the circuit breaker didn't get too mad at you during the connection process.

It was a fine Sunday with a high temp of 34F for a few minutes. There was no snow melt because the sky was overcast, wind mostly calm.

I had apple/cinnamon pancakes for breakfast and supper, made with my homemade apple sauce.

Love to see another DIY person here. Looking good!

I took out my old stove vent and put a new black one up to match my stove and fridge. Looks so much better than the old white one and it works too!!
