Recessed lighting installed in a floor
Comments (1)There will be quite a bit of woodwork to ensure that the low voltage led strip fits well, ... If there is a joist directly below the desired location, things will get complicated. Electroluminescent lighting could be an alternative solution if floor lighting is the only option....See MoreAir tight recessed lights on first floor
Comments (3)As brickeyee said, you are already heating that space. The R-value of the flooring above is maybe R-2 to R-3, and the sheetrock below is R-0.5. If it isn't well sealed from the outside, adding holes in the ceiling will create some additional loss, but it is already about the same temperature as the house -- maybe warmer if you have heater ducts in there....See MoreRecessed Lighting - replacing old square recessed lights
Comments (1)Technically yes. You'd need to figure out the project cost though...See MoreRecessed Lights on 1st Floor
Comments (3)What I did... I was able to take a strip of drywall down on one end of the room to cross the joints. This was then covered by crown molding which I was going to install anyway. I still patched the drywall as a fire stop but I didn't have to make it look nice. I was very proud of myself..... Know with 100% certainty, that you will have to paint the entire ceiling if you do drywall repair on it. There is something magical about ceiling paint that refuses to match what was already there. Even if the paint is new, it all has to be applied at the same time. Do not even paint half on saturday and paint the other half on sunday.... Also - you will use remodel cans instead of cans for new construction/access to joints. They secure themselves on the drywall rather than the joists....See Morewdccruise
