" These recess light kits are -- low voltage right this -- a lie idle -- low voltage miniature. Wall washers. And this is runs on twelve volts converted from 110 from the wire please me and its former icy feet in regular 110 and then they'll transformer -- to a low -- wreckage. And this is this allows us to make it extremely small fiction which is very good this kind of renovation work where. We've got joist spacing we don't know what's going to be like we're trying to get lighting and even spacing. If only going to -- this little aperture that three and a half inches that we have to get you can space that out. You can -- so easily get six or eight of them and they can be focused and you can like give you had a collection of family photographs on the wall you can. Team -- catch on right these things have a very good advantage Chicago hot focus and then after you install a light and the trim and you have the art on the walls you can actually reach inside and adjust the bald. And the lands to get the light exactly where you want it I'd like to change the Iran has tried to picture let's go inside the bathroom and look at some of the framing has been done there. Now the ceiling in here as than usual cornice treatment what's the story. I you've got a set of closets coming from California closets that cremate and then this -- want to hear okay you know going father so we bought the ceiling down to accommodate that was the same time. We've taken that reveal that's going to produce and -- and all the way around the room. An architectural feature that's nice -- and then we got more of the same lights in the ceiling here the can be focused. In so that you can see your dark suit throughout trying to and again they're hot adjustable -- once you get the closets can -- us. Then in the bathroom section you framed in. What do you call of the soffit but why have you used metal instead of wooden studs here well all of the other -- we're attaching to this is this plaster board. And we don't have the nailing trim into it and by making on metal it's very quick to do you can keep it very straight yeah. You've got everything and you've got hot air being delivered through here and you've got two more of these lighting units here so that chicken sitting down and this course will be of vanity area. Which I believe the shape of this reflects the shake down here Iran Iraq at the -- of the counter will be if the same kind of -- board -- what do what is in the south and he actually spent here."
" Well this is a little sensor that senses of temperature of the hot water coming up from this -- this is the feed to the hot water side -- sink faucet. And when the temperature goes down below 100 degrees this sends a signal to the basement and the boiler fires again and brings hot water -- through this pipe to this point."
" Like we are bringing this place into the twentieth century has no doubt about it and of course we'll have another light underneath underneath them as there have that right. Sounds good and then here what we've got is a pocket door so that we clothes off about from the dressing area and to learn more about how these are installed let's go downstairs and find Bob -- Pay Ryley and -- west some makes quick work out of that right. Also does not as steel and -- would insert right and this is all the components for our pocket door here on yep this is the last. -- cut right now. That's been put a pilot hole -- top offs. And we are standing in the entryway from the the main hall downstairs. Into the kitchen area. And I guess the design calls for a pocket door in this location. We've got. A closet here is like a broom closet -- have a swinging door. And we figured we didn't want to second swinging door into the caucus that ends up being left in the open position all the time. And there's tonight's expanse of wall here that would allow us to hang a big poster or something so the pocket doors the answer and this is not yet. And the components are pretty basic right sure is just a the track on the top which of are replaced yet put in place. And then we have these. Metal studs they're going to create a cavity for the door to right in okay this is the in peace. It goes right over here. It benefited that I haven't. But the bottom first. He got a pretty precise with this even though it falls into the realm of rough carpentry and writing well regarded precut this. So that is going in good and plumb season. All right. Now how do you determine that the door line up perfectly with the outer edge of the wall here -- the most important out of pocket brought. Installation in what we've -- we're gonna use this template again. Said and enhance hit template system ripped down -- into it for this the exact 28 inch. Width of the door right and this is and the mock up of power trim isn't going to be exactly. And we want to be sure that. We have I stopped along that that GM over there OK and so you've already or wooden shims to make up the difference and then this is a half inch rubber stop that comes with the door kit -- so this goes right here right yes -- this is the run for the -- and and it's not here is gonna help us adjust the -- and make it plumbed -- it. That's at the finish stage but right now -- make sure we don't lose any of our hardware by keeping it up there along with the template."
