We finished with Canned lighting... kind of... just in Aubrey's room and the Living room, but it is wonderful to have some light in the house now and it get's me more excited to continue with the rest of the rooms, i.e. kitchen, hallway and master bedroom. Here's the play by play:

1) We found out where the center of the ceiling joists were and measured to make sure the light fit. We then took a 6" template from construction paper and drew a circle on the ceiling:


2) Chiseling out the cement "poops" to allow the can to sit flat against the ceiling above:

3) Using the keyhole saw to carve out the ceiling:

4) View of cut hole from the living room:

5) View of the cut hole from above in the attic:

6) Here is the can inserted into the hole w/out the trim:

7) View of light with trim w/out electrical connected:

8) The view from our front door:
