Just wanted to update on this. I ended up ripping a sheet of plywood to the exact width of this little strip. Did 1/2" on the front of the tub and 3/4" on the back. The thickness is different because there was a 1/4" gap between the stud and the tub edge at the back. This gap did not exist at...

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for covering the space between the tub apron and the edge of the perpendicular wall? I am using ceramic tile as a tub surround; however, I’m not confident that I’ll be able to get a good cut for such a small area. The tub is already cemented in so I l...

Just wanted to post a picture of the final product in case anyone comes across this thread and is debating what they want to do on their home. The picture is maybe just a tiny bit brighter than it really looks in person. Excuse the blue color in the bay window, the TV was on.

I would do that but I have a motion security light/camera in the center.

I think the picture makes them look brighter than they are. These are only 100 lumen each.

Kind of a change from my original plan. I ended up putting low voltage wired landscape lighting (like path lights) in the mulch beds in front of my house. It cast light onto the house more than I had expected so now I am planning to only put two soffit lights over the garage since I can’t put...

I actually didn't expect to get responses of people disliking soffit lighting, so I started looking up images of soffit lighting and honestly, the images that I am seeing do not resemble the way people do it around my area for the most part. Most of the search result images are of these...

Curb appeal is the primary goal. I just prefer the way they look vs other forms. Will probably have them shut off part way through the night. They will be dimmable and be able to change temperature (really unlimited color options) and will probably be kept very dim and warm-ish temperature.

I have some small landscape lights but I just prefer the look of soffit lighting myself.

I bought the GE Cync ones w/ dimming and color changing capability a while back on a really great sale but I can't remember whether they are 4 or 6. Hoping that the spread angle will be good for it cause I am pretty much stuck w/ these ones.

I am doing something similar. Those two wall lights on either side of the garage are no longer there and have been replaced by matching siding. I am going to use the switch that was tied to those to control the soffit lighting. I want to leave the actual square front door light in place for...

Right side door has a 12” square light but it is on a separate switch and would remain off probably almost always. The soffit lights I’d be putting in would be 4 or 6” circular wafers.

Just want to get opinions on which spacing looks right. The garage portion of the house is recessed maybe 7 - 10' just to the left of the mudroom door. Option 1: Option 2:
