changing fluorescent lighting fixutre

The most difficult part is having to repaint the ceiling because the new fixture doesn't cover where the old one did. Other than that, it's a snap.

Old existing wire can be damaged due to the heat produced by the light over years, It can be a 10 minute job or all day if there are bad wires.

why not really annoy him with a request for a ceiling fan for a ceiling with no electrical box and knob-and-tube wiring? :) actually you will find a 300 watt floor lamp torchiere with dimmer is a perfect adjustable illumination lamp for everything from tv viewing to reading when placed next to the new la-z-boy recliner loveseat you owe him already! :)

He's already got that in the basement with a built-in 55" HDTV. Now you know why I make him change light fixtures..

Thanks for your help. The fixture is only 3 years old so I'm hoping there won't be too many swear words coming from him that day!
