fiberglass is fun. yay!
We have been having horrible problems with frost and condensation lately all over the house. One of the worst places have been the can lights in the kitchen over the counter. They were dripping water like freakin' crazy, and as it turns out this is a common problem with older style can lights that aren't air tight. I mean you could put your hand up there and feel a strong breeze blowing in. Probably because they were so close to the eaves of the house, and the insulation just wasn't helping seal them.
So, honestly we decided to rip them out and put in a box for track lighting (to be installed later), so that's what we did saturday. Well I did this mostly (Jen helped) and while I was doing that she installed a foyer light when she wasn't handing me tools (having two people helps a lot).
Here's some shots of the action. Let me tell you something, good living has not been healthy for me. I never liked to do attic work, it sucks very badly, but I also am older, less nimble, and heavier than I used to be so this little project wiped me the heck out...
And here's the foyer light Jen installed while I was in the attic and crap:
