Hey gang.

I've been working on my bar off and on and will be fully dedicated to it this weekend. I have run into a slight problem with wiring hanging lamps. Well I should say hiding the wires. I do not have thatching or anything on my ceiling (only two black "beams"). I don't really plan on adding that to the ceiling, you'll see when I'm done, but I wanted to know, what would be a good way to run wire to an outlet.

I was thinking of running the wires along the "beams" so you probably won't see them, but I do plan on having a few hanging lamps. I have been using swag lamp kits, I need to check, but do they sell the chains themselves and if so where is the best place to look?

And lastly, my outlets are in odd places in the room. Should I have to extend the wiring, should I buy extension cords or rewire the lamps for longer wires?

I only ask b/c I don't want to start a fire.
