The light fixtures

In our new car, we went to IKEA last night and bought some things. The kitchen story comes later, but for now, I will tell you that we bought 2 light fixtures. .... progress.... only 2 because Jeffrey thought that he could do the installation himself. He is pretty handy that way so we were willing to give it a try with 2 simple fixtures from IKEA. The circuit box was labelled in French, but with a little trial and error, we figured out the proper switches for the 2 rooms that would be getting the new fixtures. The ladder wasn't high enough, so we figured that if we took the coffee table into the bathroom (the room getting the fixture) and then place the ladder on top of the coffee table, it would be high enough. OK, so that worked. I just had to hold on to the ladder because it barely fit on the table. The first picture below shows the first fixture. I complained bitterly that it looked like &$#@^ and so Jeff made a few adjustments and installed the second fixure in my bathroom and did a much better job. You can see that in the second picture. And you can also see that they work!!
