PROBLEM SOLVING

Because this is a very dark area of the box I needed to provide enough light for the back and the fixtures needed to be placed so they could clear the walls as I slid the floor into the box.  There were many trials and errors as I worked on that but I was finally able to cut the wires and tape them to the ceiling (which will eventually be covered.)   

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next problem which took a couple of days to solve was the connection between the battery pack and the sliding floor. Again much trial and error 

until I found some old XMas decorations I had purchased on sale to use for the parts.  There were plug connectors which I removed and the male part was to be used for the sliding floor and the female part would extend through a hole in the wall so when the floor slid in the parts would line up.  Hours of juggling, rebuilding the attachments and generally being frustrated it now finally seems to work. 

The wires have been soldered but since there may be other lights to add to the mix they are not finished yet.  Wonder of wonders it all seems to work and the floor can be removed for access to the wiring and the rooms
