Here goes:

Bought a 5" canopy (brass) sanded the finish off and spray painted it white. Looks decent, and happy customer, only took about an extra 15 minutes...

Guess I was making a bigger deal out of it than it was...

Tom,

Yep, I tend to agree, I estimated the trim out at 24 hours, it has taken 53 and counting... Holy Schmoly!!!

I've had 5 out of about 30 go in as planned (read smoothly)... The rest had all kinds of neat little things hold me up and made me look like I didn't know what I was doing...

Can't wait 'til I've got the extra C-note to go take the Inspector's test...

(Will someone please wake me from this nightmare?!?!?)
