Now she wants a swag light and the wire has to go through the pipe so it can't be tightened up like this set up needs. Plus you need to counter twist the chain/wire so it sits right after threading it on.
Took me 3 hours of trying different things!


My old house had those boxes. They’re not easy to remove. Let’s just say I got good at repairing plaster
