You speak so calmly and clearly it's easy to understand. Some of these people go so fast and talk so fast I can understand a thing so thank you

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much 🙏🏽!

[@natoshasimone3811]

Much respect to the men who can perform physical labor!! 💪🏾Definitely about to hire someone!!

[@jonfbcvr]

My man! I gotta say one of THE BEST instructional videos by an individual re the camera work and audio as well as step by step. KZbin has democratized the ability to help others and get help but it’s insane how folks who know their craft don’t know how to hold a camera still or in focus. It makes me want to physically hurt someone who is trying to help me! 😂 Unless someone has done something like this themselves, they have absolutely no idea the time and effort it takes to put a video like you’ve made together. I now feel confident enough to do this project myself. You have earned yourself a like and subscribe my friend. Mad props!

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much for your kind words sir! Means a lot! Much respect and love goes out to you for understanding the content creators 🙏🏽😊...salute to you! 🙏🏽

[@rooksandcastles]

I love watching these videos. I installed automatic dusk/dawn lights on my garage. Saves energy and they look great. The install you did looks clean and beautiful. Love the black and white.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much! I’m actually going to install the dusk/dawn soon and will be making a video on 👍🏽. Thank you so much for your support!

[@jacobcarraway1989]

Sunco makes a dusk till dawn bulbs that works great for outdoor scone lights. I have them for flood lights on corners of my house. I leave the switch on and they are off during the day and soon as it’s dark they turn right on. I have had them for 3 years now and still going strong.

[@OrionWinters]

Nice job. Easy to follow without too many technical steps.

[@onegaisti]

Isn't even what I'm looking for but giving me ideas. Good stuff!

[@FixThisHouse]

Glad I could help!

[@nfn7121]

Don’t forget to twist those white wires in the j box just like you did the black wires past the wire nut. Holds it better when you squish it back into the j box. I usually go about 1 1/2 inch past the wire nuts so I see a good twist. Less likely to get loose when you cram the wires in the j box.

[@veteranveteran9915]

Dude....that transformation looks amazing 💞

Thank you!

beautiful. custom framing around garage door?

[@nicholashixson3316]

How did you run the wires from the light switch to the power?

[@jacobcarraway1989]

Why 12-2 wiring? I assume you have 20 amp breakers to be the reason? My house has 15 amp breakers so it’s mainly 14/2 with some 12/2 wiring.

[@Zeus-ll5py]

how did you get rid of the seams that were 8ft high in your siding though?

[@dockersfavs3110]

I live in a town home. Is there a way to by pass the power source to my porch light thats in my house and have the light powered by the bldg power source?

[@perrysnds]

Did you connect the lights on a GFCI circuit? Didnt see you pulling power from anywhere in the video, thats why im asking. Thanks

[@englishpete1011]

Thank you for this video, I showed it to my students in Poland so they can see how the wiring is done in the US :) I have a quick question, what's that above the light on the right side? A motion detector or a CCTV camera?

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you for sharing my content 🙏🏽😊...yes that is my cctv camera 👍🏽😊

[@englishpete1011]

@@FixThisHouse thanks, that’s what it looked like to me :) keep up the good work 👍

[@tommycho9068]

Great video. Q. How high did you install the light? Thank you.

[@doncryptomillionaire]

he said he keep it at 72 inches

[@cc_bloom]

I replaced 3 garage lights but only one comes on. I'm using the white 14/2 cable and noticed you used the 12/2 yellow cable. Why did you use the yellow cable and not the white? Thank you

[@jayperks4672]

Thank you for great video but you left out the key part I was waiting for the wire connection to circuit breaker

[@Catholic647]

For outside lights don't you only have to use 14/2 gauge? Isn't a 12-2 gauge wire for outlets?

[@luckasreal]

14/2 can be used for outlets if ONLY it's on a 15amp circuit. Where I am from

[@victorvek5227]

Curious as to why you ran 12/2 for these instead of 14/2?

[@7NickInvade]

20 amp breakers are standard on garages and require 12-2. wire

[@dippa1965]

FYI- ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER 1ST AND FOREMOST.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you, but I did mention that twice on the video 👍🏽

[@dippa1965]

@@FixThisHouse Good morning yes sir you did mention it. But it was mentioned a few minutes into the video whereas this should've been mentioned prior to starting any electrical job. No disrespect intended sir.

[@adamplummer2190]

Did you notice he said the main? When did mains start becoming attached in the middle of a panel?

[@hm-ys4ym]

12/2 for lighting?

[@ahang2097]

Where does that power cord come from?? Is it the power source connected to the switch?

[@FixThisHouse]

The power is connect to the switch to the lights 👍🏽😊

[@landongeorge2853]

If there is a red wire for a 3 way switch, do you just tie it in with the black load wires?

[@adamplummer2190]

Cap it and leave it. You never want dual feeds, what if other end comes apart? By capping both ends it tells any electrician and inspector it's unused and available for future usage.

[@obiwancanoly]

Where did you pull the gray wire from? Not enough information

[@MorrisMagic]

Do exterior lights need anything for waterproofing?

[@FixThisHouse]

Just make sure that you apply caulking where the lights meet with you sidings. The lights themselves is weather proof

[@kaizentruth8098]

Remind people to hit the notification bell so they’ll be notified when the next video comes up!

[@FixThisHouse]

Great looking out friend! Will do 👍🏽😊👊🏽

[@designstudio8013]

A lot of fixtures do not cover a junction box properly so you need to recess it.

[@hunterhawk5710]

what do you do if box wasnt put in even, I now have a light installed at an angle?

[@FixThisHouse]

Hi! Are you taking about the j-box being crooked?

[@hunterhawk5710]

@@FixThisHouse yes

[@juantoledo8541]

the junction box doesnt matter how its put in. its the mouting plate that came with your fixture thats needs to be positioned right.. just turn it

[@nfn7121]

Drop some can flush lights in that soffit. Make it pop like a fire cracker.

[@kevjao267]

why cant my electrician good looking as you.

[@oldskoolwayy]

He should have used tyvec also behind the siding and black electrical tape around the wire caps but his install was clean

[@tpcoachfix]

12 gauge for lights?

[@FixThisHouse]

Romex 12/2 for what I used 👍🏽😊

[@MrVAsBoy]

What did you have at the breaker in the garage (15A or 20A)? 20A requires 12/2 wire and 20A requires 14/2.

[@mawolomulbah5335]

Where can I find the link for the light Sir.

[@FixThisHouse]

Hi! The link is on the description of the video, but here is the link sir 👍🏽😊 : amzn.to/3v1Fllh

[@dylanknudsen5692]

You want to keep the wire a lot tighter than that when you staple it

[@davidmclaughlin3797]

What manufacturer's block did you use?

[@FixThisHouse]

I’m sorry block? I don’t understand 😅

[@perisr6402]

Just use led ones instead of wire

[@kvdgadj]

How much money did all this cost you and how much money would you had payed if somebody else did the job? How long did it take for you to finish.

[@FixThisHouse]

Lights cost $29 each, wires around $60-70 for 200 feet and j-box-wire nuts around $20. Tools separate cost. Took me less than 1 day. If you hire an electrician depends on rates on your area but they charge $75-$150 an hour.

[@mikesmith4764]

I didn’t see the switch setup

[@ropeysubstance1719]

Bro, you literally skipped showing how to do the most important part of the video at 5:50. That's what people came to see how to do. Cmon man!

[@life_with_Chaz]

Lol if I'm going to hire a electrician why watch this video lol

[@ellensoltren4457]

you dont need 12 wire for lights

[@FixThisHouse]

True, but if your feeding is off a 20AMP power you do. 👍🏽😊

[@gymee425]

Guys, this is a pewfect example why to hire a licensed electrician, the code violations too numerous to mention but PLEASE do you due diligence!!!

[@gil-juniorriseabovebetraya5972]

Right away i see Thst Your using a yellow 12 guage wire. Its to thick for lightin. U could have used 14 guage its cheaper amd easier to work with

[@Elpipiton]

Make a video dummy

[@adamsegarra5683]

Oh boy, I'm all for DIY but my guy, leaving all the ground wiring exposed like that, I hope an inspector didn't come lol also just a nitpick, you used tin snips to cut the romex you can technically use them but I'd get actual electrician tools to do this stuff.

[@c.p7614]

Like the video, but bro you are out of control with the ads. Unfortunately I won't be back.

[@jamesslade3230]

Who care's if you don't come back
