I just bought 4 cans to install above the island. We'll probably use
daylight florescent dimmable bulbs there. We'll still have a couple more
lights in the ceiling for other stuff.
Looking at Bamboo for the floor. He'll give me the sq ft to buy, and I'll
buy it, then either he or the contractor will tear out the old for me.
The electrical will be handled by the same dude. Moving switches and
outlets. I could do it, but I don't wanna.
We refinished the cabinets, and they are staying. Probably granite on the
counter tops. Theese guys all know good people for it, and it ends up being
the same good people, because they are cheap and good at what they do. Might
try the stair specialist across the street from me too. The neighbors here
are great.
