In the Trades
I got blessed again this week by having to install a chandelier that had a canopy which was the same size as the box in the ceiling. The canopy doesn't cover the hole in the sheetrock.
On the first one, I was able to bore out the hole on the original canopy and install in on the new fixture. On the second fixture, I went to HD and bought a loose canopy with a threaded strap for the decorative nipple, using the common two beads to hold it up to the ceiling. Both fixtures are chain type.
I'm thinking that someone over in the orient is using one of our antique light fixtures from the 1920's as a model. I hope this isn't a trend.
