9. Using a circle cutter, cut holes in the drywall for the light fixtures.

10. Secure the drywall with a self-feeding screw gun (figure J).

11. Tape, mud and sand the surface of the wall so that it's smooth and even (figure K).

Closet Door Installation

1. Using pre-hung doors, remove the door from the jamb.

2. Check the rough level for plumb (figure L). Since the framing is a little larger than the jamb, use shims to both sides of framing.

3. Install the jamb and then add shims to center the bubble of the level (figure M).

4. Always use the longest level possible to increase accuracy.

5. Drive screws into the jamb to secure the framing.

6. Using more shims, get the doors to hang together just right (figure N).
