No crown molding in this house

I'd expect there would be if they're that fussy about sheetrock over plaster. Or is there wallpaper or fancy paintwork involved?

Laying out the cans to miss the joists is your first dilemna...
After that, how to wire them (the solution) will preset itself.
But i gotta tell you, replacing the box with another can is poor layout...
A center can looks like hell. Blank it or something.

I disagree. It’ll look like a 5 on a dice when it’s done. Customer agreed. And I’m actually adding wafer lights so I won’t need to miss the joist.

Still, you may have adhesive and/or nails or screws to deal with.

The cables will not be long enough....
Still to each his own....
Dice?!
Its general lighting, not a faberge egg...
Sounds like 6 may be more light.
Trust me on this one.

Yeah about the grammar, I really don’t care. And it’ll be alright.

My ex pronounced 'pen' and 'pin' identically, and she was aware of it.

Three lights dog legged across the ceiling looks good from here. If customers happy, I’m happy.

patching drywall is not that costly and it makes electrical work much faster

Painting or texturing the ceiling is the bite.
