We have about 3″ of gas line coming down from the ceiling at each fixture. The gas lines are live. We know this because there was a leak that we had repaired in one room. Since there’s a kitchen on the 3rd & 1st floor cutting the gass off altogether is not an easy task; it’s not clear that one pipe in the basement serves all the light fixtures. In addition to the ceiling lights, there are openings for 3 sconces with gas lines in every room, but only a few actual fixtures which I had removed to clean & re-wire …. so we have many open holes with live wires & gas lines in every room. Total mess. The big problem is the ceiling fixtures. What do we do? We want to install ceiling fixtures but have to resolve the gas line issue. Flush mount fixtures won’t fit. Anyone here dealt with this? Have any ideas as to how to approach this? Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
