I'm trying to add some can lights to a finished part of my basement. Having trouble figuring out how to get the wires in, and wondering if building a soffitt is my best bet.
Basically, the ceiling is already finished. The wall at one end of the joists for the upstairs is an external wall. The wall at the other end is built directly under the steel I Beam that supports the rest of the house, so I don't have access to the top cap on the wall.
I assume I can't pull wires over the I beam, so was thinking about building a soffitt around the room to pull the wires through.
Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Mike
