Two of the items on that list was to switch out the last of our hideous fluorescent lighting in our home and replace it with beautiful recessed lighting! Well, last month Mr. Woodsy did just that. It happened to be a chilly winter day in Florida which meant perfect weather to climb in the attic and replace lighting! I created an easy animated GIF to show you how the whole process went.
