If the timing is an issue, let me know and I'll refund you. I'd actually make money selling them for what they're worth. lol ;)

But anyway, you're ------- up the home improvement thread, so now you have to post pictures of your house. If you need anything further PM me or make a "I hate Stealthmode that fucken bastard" thread. 8)

Haha, you live in Riverside. :P


My house hasn't changed in the 1.5 years I've lived in it. If I was smart when I was younger I would have bought a house. I decided I wanted to buy turbo parts and max out my credit cards instead. :1 Brand new houses I was looking at that were selling for ~$75,000 are now selling for $200,000+ no matter how shitty they are. Now I'm fucked and can't afford the cheapest shitbox house out here. :3 Time to move.....

House looks good Steve. Now you just need to find a good painter to finish it off. Too bad there isn't any in that area. :P

BTW, I hope you put insulators around those recess cans. Those fuckers get hot and have been known to set fires if installed without insulators. If there isn't any insulation above that area then it doesn't matter though...

The cans I got have completely enclosed boxes. The specs said insulation could touch them. I was kinda freakin about how close I was gonna put the insulation to them, but I read the paperwork and the boxes and they both said they could be in direct contact with the insulation.
Then I took some of the insulation I was using and tried to light it on fire with a lighter, and it crinkled up, but wouldn't catch on fire.

After reading all the documentation saying "can be direct contact" and then the fire test, I'm sure I won't have a problem with the insulation in the ceiling. It did take me all of that to convince myself though. lol

haha, that's how all of the houses in suburbia come. White, white and more white.

I think Steve is still deciding on some colors, but the one who wears the daddy pants has to approve O0

you'd only have to worry about the lights if you bought the ones that say "non-ic" that means insulation contact..not inter cooled
