This Little Light of Mine

So, the basement being dry (thanks, Drain Masters) it seemed like a good time to put a light fixture in the ceiling. Arlene, once again I should have remembered what your mom told me years ago, "It shouldn't be hard." So, the bad news is that by using the wrong parts, I may have damaged the fixture. The good news, I guess, is that I have the brawn to TEAR METAL. Although  in the brains v brawn struggle, I'd always hoped to come down on the brain side, because those guys can have light fixtures.
