“My project started with a honeydew list My wife wanted a chandelier over the tub. Well, the tub is next to a window on an outside wall of the house with the pitched roof, I could not get to the top of the canister in the attic due to the crawlspace or lack of. I was thinking of what to do to keep my promise to my wife. I thought about Jerry rigging a fixture, but thought over a tub would not be a good idea so I looked online and found the can converter. Wow that’s great just what I need. I ordered it when it came and it came fairly quick before I was even ready to start the project so I hid it from my wife for a day or two. I read the instructions fiddled around with it a few minutes. as you can see from the photo it was hard to get to because it was over a claw tub go figure my luck so I had to make my homemade scaffolding to continue my project. Once the scaffolding was arranged, now that I reviewed the instructions. It was fairly easy to figure out. It goes up and mounted in the cup. It went together sort of like a jigsaw puzzle one piece after the other and next thing you know, I was looking at the chandelier instructions. NOW The wife’s happy with her chandelier. I’m happy. I kept my promise to my wife all in all very easy process and I’m not an electrician. I’m just a homeowner. ”
