gumbokins 5 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 during your reno. works, do you install the lights before or after painting? common sense tells me after, so that the lights wont get in the way/dirty but my id insists on installing the lights first before painting. because we're not using his electrician, i think he's still a little sore abt that, so i don't know if he's just trying to make things difficult to drive home the point. :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
