Moving Recessed Lights

I just finished making the upper cabinet for the corner in my kitchen (build coming soon), but before I can install it, I need to move a pot light. I installed the pot lights originally for a different cabinet layout, but change the design with this cabinet. These ones are easy, since they are the retrofit type and done have a box or hangers inside the ceiling.

I'm looking forward to more kitchen videos. I know the counter top is a few years old, but would you happen to still know what the tiles were called you used, and the material and source for the sink ? I cannot find tiles that match so closely as the set you have, Ontario too, so possibly I could get the same ones you used.

[@IBuildItHome]

Kent - I have no info on the tile now, but the sink is Blanco - just Google "black sink".

[@ByersLeafguard]

Using the cut out as a patch was a great idea!

[@VampireOnline]

I'm very jealous of your mudding and taping skills.

[@EYALAVRAHAMI]

Can't wait for the corner cabinet video

[@SuperYtviewer]

Ahhhh the art of remodeling is to hide the change with mud and make everyone see the change, as the original plan, without any reference to the change at all. Well done.

[@63256325N]

A true master can fix problems and have them come out perfect. Thanks for the video.

[@embeaston]

Now that IT is legal in Canada I was thinking about other pot lights.

[@hogger4321]

Keep up the great videos john!

[@KipdoesStuff]

Well done sir. As a master of getting things a little off, I have mastered this art also.

[@TheMikey143]

John.....glad to hear more videos are coming to this channel. It's my favorite of all your channels!!!! Keep up the good work. I enjoy all your videos!!!!

[@callitagain]

Thanks John.

[@skippylippy547]

Pure genius!

[@cobberpete1]

Waste not want not John. Great way to use the cut out.

[@theloniousm4337]

LOL - I did the exact same thing. I have almost identical looking bulkheads with almost identical looking pot lights. originally planned on a "L" shaped corner cabinet but then switched to the 45 degree corner cabinet but I already had a pot in the corner.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nice work John! 👍👊

[@StanFerris]

Adding screws to the hole saw--- now why didn't I think of that???! Clever. Nice.

[@MrTrollHunter]

I really like the outtro music of your vedeos and of course the videoes themselves

[@tiitsaul9036]

setting drill reverse works really well in this pplication. less likely ro grab, less likely to cut into cables and overall less violent procedure.(pilot hole must be drilled the right way ofcourse)

[@IBuildItHome]

Holding the drill in both hands without a camera in your mouth works pretty good, too :)

[@benjaminlorrig9299]

Aren't you supposed to hold the drill with your mouth and use both hands for a steadier camera? :-P

[@IBuildItHome]

I need a hot 20-something assistant to hold the camera and the cardboard while I try to impress her with my drilling skillz

[@kenl5217]

Put Focus Master to work

I Build It Home Call me!

[@FritsvanDoorn]

This video i like

[@elcam84]

Must be nice not having textured walls and ceilings. Here in Texas everything is textured which is a pain as its impossible to repair. But its hard to find a good drywall guy so they just cover their mistakes with texture. I have been skim coating all the rooms in the house as I remodel them. I put my cans in after the cabinets but also did over and under cab lighting with led strips. I rarely use the cans as the led strip lights provide very adequate lighting without being too bright and they are indirect which is better anyway. But with the cans you can light it up like a surgical room... Pot lights? I have watched the canadian shows and it always sounded like they were saying pod lights. Here we are more simple. In the US we call them can lights cause they look like a tin can. We stop short of calling it a majic glowing circle on the ceiling...

[@adrianperalta7192]

👍

[@luv14lyf]

What's the best way to move a can light 4"-5" over and repair the space it was moved from?

[@adrianfernandes261]

More...more...more....!!!

[@Lickmuffin]

OMG, I just noticed! The grilled cheese theme song!

[@colemadad]

"added a couple of screws" - great idea that I wouldn't have thought of....

[@bethanyanderson1745]

Again missing details. How and where did you add a couple of screws?

[@colemadad]

@@bethanyanderson1745 Been a long time, I had to rewatch. I think I was referring to how he enlarged the hole by adding screws to the side of the hole saw - at about 38 seconds he makes reference.

[@TuffMovies]

nice! music at the end?

[@IBuildItHome]

From the KZbin library.

[@Wordsnwood]

It's that "couple of coats of mud later" that always seems to cause me trouble. (NOT skilled at mudding)

[@IBuildItHome]

Putting it on too thick and playing around with it too much are typically the problem. Taping is a lot like painting - it's mostly technique over actual skill.

[@billcarson6186]

Somewhere on John's home channel there is a good video on how to mud and have little or no sanding to do as a result.

[@Microfrost]

Yep, start here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joS3ZWehj5ZlnJI

[@David_Powell]

Are the pot lights just attached to the drywall - I've never installed pots? I was wondering how you detached and then re-attached the electrical box, but maybe pot lights are different.

[@bethanyanderson1745]

Yes, I was expecting such information to be included in the video too. IMO too many details are missing from this video. I do appreciate your sharing though.

[@MikeBramm]

I've never heard of this type of light referred to as a "Pot" light. I've always known them as "Can" lights. I thought maybe you were going to start growing weed in your new shed. 😉

[@maximeboissonneault6203]

Why couldn’t you saw the second hole with the hole saw ? You had plenty of room for the central bit ? I did exactly that a few weeks ago and I stumble unto a beam when making a hole so I had to move it by about 4 inches and I just used the hole saw to saw the second hole.

[@IBuildItHome]

Good for you!

[@wwscott7595]

Any idea when the cabinet build will be (I dare you to answer me) awe go on John. You should never hold a grudge, It's just not nice.

[@mschmidtTX]

I thought this meant something entirely different

[@79TEOG]

Mesh is better for a patch

[@TravisInCanada1]

John I feel obligated to say something for your own safety DO NOT stick butter knives in light sockets holes. LOL!

[@IBuildItHome]

Isn't that for toasters, and fingers for light sockets? If so, I was perfectly safe :)

[@kenl5217]

overhead work is the worst

[@Kilroy1225]

POT Lights? I thought this was related to the recent news that Canada legalized marijuana....
