Sharon, thanks LOL It's in direct proportion to how much time, effort, and money it takes. It can range from just windy, to 25 with gusts to 40, overcast, downpour, hurricane. If it's really important, and really expensive, the earth opens up and just swallows me! LOL Got the Rutgers and Lemon Boys divided and planted today. Gave the others a boost with liquid fertilizer. Then ran out of potting soil. dangit Got to make another dirt run before I can pot any more up.

"...I know what you're saying VirgilC, I'm just going to keep banging my head on this wall until..we get up the nerve to call on an architect I guess..." Well, yes, it can be fun searching and playing with stock floor plans. But unless one can find a stock plan that is virtually perfect for one's needs, with few revisions, it's often a frustrating waste of time. A much more productive approach may be to: --Create a list of priority "wants" and a second list of nice to have "desires, that both partners agree on; --Create a list of furniture and equipment, with dimensions, that a new house must accomodate; --Create a summary of lineal footage of storage necessary for the new house (chothes closets, food storage, etc.) And present these lists to an architect experienced with the successful design of houses of a size and character that are representative of one's interest. Working with your architect, all of the subsequent development of a responsive and successful house design will flow naturally (and enjoyably). Presenting a stock house plan to a licensed architect for a "few revisions" is like presenting an Internet diagnosis for an illness to a physician and asking for a written prescription based on the Internet diagnosis. It's an inaccurate and time-wasting (and money wasting) exercise that will only be frustrating to everyone. Additionally, in most states, it's illegal for a licensed architect to stamp designs not prepared by her/him or under her/his direct supervision. So whatever stock plan an owner may present will have to be completely revised and redrawn, and, of course, the experienced architect will see many errors, omissions and possible improvements to a stock plan far beyone what an average consumer will ever see. Finally, many folks are apprehensive to commission an architect to design their house and prepare the important construction drawings and specifications due to presumed expenses. The fact is, these early expenses are an owner's best investment to minimize construction-phase (too low) allowances by builders, minimize costly change-orders and to have a clear set of documents that illustrate fully the owner's desire for their house. Complete construction drawings and specifications become a legal instrument as the basis for a construction contract that is in the owner's interests, rather than simply turning everything over to the builder and hoping the builder will put owner interests before builder interests. Just some thoughts. I think you'd be a lot better using your time and energy working through your key planning and design criteria than searching the web for stock plans and spending considerable time wondering if/how they might be changed to fit your needs. Hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

How is this done? Do I modify the existing fixture (and are we referring to modifying the wiring that is already in place) or something else? Do I need to find (dont know the terminology) a light kit that is designed for 2 lights and use that?

The wiring may not be conventional because the power or the light circuits are not coming into the switch boxes and some creative wiring was done. The easiest way to figure this out is to first disassemble all switches and lights to access the wiring. Find out which wires in each box have power and make a diagram. Next shut off the circuit so you can check each wires resistance/continuity. This will allow you to determine which cable is feeding where. With a voltmeter/DVM set to OHMS pick the first wire to check and make sure there is no continuity. With the meter still connected to the wire go to the light or switch box you think the wire is running to and touch the same colored wire to ground (this is assuming it hasn't changed color by a connection somewhere else). The meter will read close to zero ohms when the wire is touched to ground (some wires may read a low resistance if it is connected to the light bulb so you may want to remove them). Do this for each wire until you have a diagram showing where all wires are going/coming from. Then is is a matter of having the wire supplying power go to the common of one switch. The two other wires in that same switch box must get to the other switch. The other switch will have the two wires coming in from the first switch and then the wire going to the lights connect to the common of switch 2. It now is a matter of connecting the wires through all the boxes to achieve this configuration. If you cannot figure this out then a picture of where all the wires go to the switches and lights. Good Luck!
