I'm in the process of gutting the exterior of my home and insulating/mice excluding/vinyl siding it. I don't even bother with any one else's videos anymore, I see you and thats that. You are my bible, I appreciate ya

Shannon, I wish I had watched your video first! I love your thorough explanation and demonstration. You're the ONLY person who flashed above the flange and I appreciate it! - Marisa

I've driven around checking out homes trying to solve my problem of adding lights on my vinyl sided garage. I just didn't want them to look junked into place. These boxes and surrounds solved the issue for me. Thanks for sharing. I'm on my way to the home store for the solutions

[@kedst2000]

Thanks! The extension ring tip is what I needed to do for my new lights.

[@buckeye44wbg]

Great video! Thanks for the details and the calm presentation style.

Shannon, your videos are so helpful! Easily, the best on KZbin. I’ve tackled and succeeded in so many home projects thanks to you. Very clear and detailed. Much appreciated

Excellent explanation of extending the electrical box and a great tip on the spigot block.

Our home center gave me two of these made by Royal for outlet covers, to be used for new Hardie Cement board siding. Looks like it work work for Hardie too. Thanks for the videos.

Great video! Prior owner of my house had security lights installed all around but the electrician surface mounted rectangular boxes with triple floodlights on top of the vinyl siding and soffits. It looks awful compared with the clean look using the mounting blocks demonstrated in this video. Would like to find some nice looking LED security lights to replace the triple floods while also cleaning up the mountings. Thanks for the video, it's informative, nicely shot and edited.

Lots of help. With your videos I have been able to side my home. Thanks so much!

[@marceldaigle5477]

Grrrrr. Where was this video when I had to re side 1 wall this summer lol. Again, another great video! Hello from Nova Scotia

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Very well explained video. How would I install a block on existing siding for a porch light? Thank you, JohnG

[@islandtimerick2671]

Thanks Shannon. Always great videos. Clear & informative!

[@petewoodhead52]

Super helpful, very thorough, thank you.

[@andrewkanis3383]

My concern is when you get a driving angle rain the water would run down behind the siding thru the side of these blocks because at the bott0m there is no way for the water to resurface above the vinyl siding and like in your video keep the exposed wood behind your starter strip wet causing rot. The same concern would be for around the widows and doors with the J molding .

[@TheLead1000]

This answered my questions perfectly! Thanks!

[@PiotrTheGreat]

great tutorial 👍 thanks for taking the time

[@ranger178]

what seals the bottom edge from water running around and down into siding below?

[@chipshot442]

Nice Job, thanks for the great video!! Al from Maryland
