battery lights

Flooring will be glued in once I decide on lights

You either need the bigger ones like the chandelier I have, or more of them. For a house this size, you definitely need more than one lamp per room, even if you tape or round wire. Those fancy cirkit chandeliers would be outstanding in this house.

I think I am going back to hard wiring my houses, I have tried battery lightes which dont give the warm light I want and plug in strips which I have been having trouble with blown fuses even with the larger transformer, looking back the most effect was hard wiring with tape. [ I just wont deal with sconces that was the hardest thing ] On a side note the second story here with extended flooring will be finished out nicely with edge work, all in good time,
