This is one of the very few porch light install videos on KZbin that is actually correct 💯..... I see sooo many people just wire the ground wires together without using the grounding screw....or people using the grounding screw but twisting the ground wire around the LEFT of the screw instead of twisting it in the Right direction....always wrap the copper bare ground in the same direction the screw tightens...but nobody does lol.....at least you did tho.. that way when you tighten the ground screw it actually pulls the wire tighter... instead of looser...

Good job ! when caulking , I would leave , on the bottom of the fixture, about a 1" space , uncaulked so if water does get behind the fixture it will have a place to weep out .

thank you , i was not sure about that ground wire and the new siding brought me out another inch from the box and you wrapping around the ground screw and hooking it to the new ground line helped a lot as i knew i wanted that new plate grounded too but the green screw was too short to hold both but it worked perfect to wrap the one around the screw and then connect it to the fixture ground too. did i mention thank you .

Our DIY home project this weekend was to replace an exterior light fixture by our garage. My husband replaces the fixture with a new one, and we wanted to share the steps he took to finish the project. Thanks for watching DIY By The Pond!! This is one of the first DIY projects on our ‘new to us home’. There are several home maintenance and diy projects we will need to tackle on our house. Join us for the journey as work through our list of repairs, updates, and all around diy projects.

I need to change mine and put up new ones, they’ve faded bc they get full sun. Those tiny screws are so tricky to put on, always dropping them. You did great job, thanks for sharing.

That's what happened to ours too. Thanks for watching.

i like the way you sealed it at the end. IT ensures nothing gets in there. great finish.

Better to leave a small gap around bottom, that way if for any reason moisture gets inside it has a path out and doesn't collect in box. Only needs to be half an inch or so

Is it necessary to turn off the circuit breaker? Will turning off the switch be just as good?

My garage light has a blue plastic box sunk in the mortar, so my rotating bracket “wings” are parallel to each other and the rear box bracket blocked my ability to back off the screws to mount the light flush on the bricks…had to go find shorter screws than what came with the light kit…so annoying.

I kinda liked the lack of speaking during the video. I learned a couple of things from this video that other’s didn’t explain or demonstrate.
