Lighting up the Barn

With the barn doors painted, the horse barn is looking pretty good.

There was still one thing bothering us... the light outside the tack room door.  We liked the fixture itself, but it hung at a funky angle (sort of dangling) & was a rusty brown color.

Last weekend, we decided to remedy that.

Mike disconnected the light, and handed it off to me for taping & painting.  We decided on black to match the hardware on the big barn doors.

Then we had to address the dangling issue in order to re-hang it.  The screws holding it were too long, so the fixture couldn't get snug against the wall.


To fix that, Mike cut a hole in a  rectangular piece of board, then painted it black to match the light fixture.

Now the light is nice & sturdy up there.
