My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hallway lights aren't parallel to wall, does this look odd?

7 years ago

I have 3 of these lights going down a hallway. They are slightly turned from each other. None of them are parallel to the wall. Does this look odd to anyone else? I immediately noticed and asked the electrician who claims they were installed in the position of the junction box and therefore couldn't be adjusted. I find it difficult to believe that the fixture itself cannot be slightly rotated with a simple loosening of an allen screw or something and retightening. But of course, I'm the homeowner not the electrician urgh*#@*! Most ceiling lights are round and wouldn't need such an adjustment so perhaps there is no way for me to bring order as the hallway lights go marching along...
