We did it! This was definitely a two-person project. It was stressful when I first removed the existing light fixture: the wires were confusing and it took some finagling to mount the new fixture (it’s not perfectly flush with the ceiling, but it’s not noticeable from the floor). At one point when I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew, I asked Jarrod “Is this really stupid?” to which he replied “It seems like it right now, but it could go either way.” I’m happy to report it went the right way.
