I finally installed the 2nd pendant light in the boys' bathroom last weekend. I did send Bobby and Graham and Charlie out of the house so no one would complain that the power is off. Ha!
There was actually one piece/part of the pendant light that was missing, so it took me a while to figure what that part was even called! So it made my online search even more difficult. I suppose I could have just taken the part to the store, but that would be too easy :-P
So if you compare these 2 pictures (above and below), it was basically this ring/screw that was missing. It's basically called the "collar screw", which makes sense now that I know what it is!
And while I was installing the pendant light, the crossbar/(metal) plate was somehow not long enough to attach to the recessed light converter kit. So the whole process took longer than expected, as I had o ditch the new parts other than just using the new collar screw with the existing parts. Was I expecting anything else???!
If anything, I think it looks pretty good. Ta da!!!
I found a couple of Graham and Charlie's dinosaur painting when we lived in Abu Dhabi. Thought I'd hang those in their bathroom. Too cute! :-)
This seems to be all the electrical work... for now. Bobby did suggest taking out the florescent lights on the back patio and putting in a nice fan/light combo. We'll see. That seems a lot more complicated!
