Lighting plan

There isn't a lot of space for lighting now that I've cut down the structure, so I'm opting for recessed ceiling lights alone for the interior.  I've put NovaLyte can lights in past houses, but they require a 3/8" thick board to sit flush.  In this instance, I will fake it with LEDs from Evan Designs and nylon washers.  I am planning eight for the ceiling.  It might seem like a lot, but the vaulted ceiling is high above the living space and I want to be sure there is plenty of light.  If they are too overwhelming once in place, there are methods for addressing the color and brightness.  I will add two new old stock ceiling light kits by Illinois Hobbycraft to the front alcove as well.

As you can see, I had some flooring issues.  I'm finishing a patch for the flooring separately. :glare:

I think the 8 lights in the ceiling will work great...gives a nice even light.  Thanks for providing the light info.  The novalytes are a bit pricey for me right now but still good info to have.

I’m curious about the floor...

Thank you!  :D  Evan Designs is a great resource, and LEDs with washers look the part...they are just a bit more work.

The wall color will be very similar to the grey primer here - and I'm not sure if I will leave the gable lighter for contrast or make it the same color as the lower walls.  It's bare wood at the moment.

As for the floor, well, it buckled. :glare: I stripped out the bad part and will glue down a new section.

Lighting I just haven't figured out...annoying really.  I am so sorry the floor buckled.  I had that happen, but it was on a board I was using for a table I was making.  I CANNOT wait for your updates.  Thank you for sharing with us.
