    Simple fixture wiring help

    Would either of those two holes that held the previous light be an appropriate place to put a ground screw?

    Simple fixture wiring help

    There was only one threaded hole in the top of the box and the ground screw from the fixture didn't even fit it. An employee at the big box store said modern construction does not need to have a ground to the fixture. I take advice from them with a grain of salt but that was my suspicion in...

    Simple fixture wiring help

    Yes I'm sure. I've seen that a lot of new construction homes no longer have a ground wire, rather, it's grounded behind the box on its own making a ground wire to the fixture unnecessary. I'm going with this theory.

    Simple fixture wiring help

    I'm trying to rid my garage of this dim incandescent bulb with a new fixture. I don't see a ground up here but guessing it wasn't necessary on this type of plastic fixture. Can I attach a ground wire to the mounting hole or should it be inside the box at the top? Does it matter? House was...

    Thanks for taking the time to help! I think I could fall back on that idea if nothing else works to cover the stem wall completely. I appreciate it. Would a hollow piece like this work? Or does anyone know where I can find something like it to make something work? Maybe a little more...

    Here's one trouble spot. The stem wall is 8" tall here, sticks out past the drywall next to the garage door. Then turns the corner and it's tucked under the drywall but starts to come out further as it goes along the wall. Vinyl cove base only comes in maximum 6" height. What are some other ways...

    Oh wow thanks for that! That system looks pretty neat, I like the granite look. Overall, due to just a few trouble spots I don't think it's worth re-coating the entire floor. I thought there might be a spot treatment I could do, but no big deal. I'm more looking for ideas to cover the stem wall...

    In the last pic you can see the lap marks on the floor. The other two pics show that near the garage door, the stem wall is rather tall (8") and protrudes out past the drywall. Then as it goes around to the side, it transitions shorter and under the drywall.

    Hey all, Long time lurker, first time poster. I just used a water based epoxy on my floors with a clear coat on top. First time attempting a project such as this and am pretty happy with the results besides the lap marks on the floor! I'm not trying to create a showroom but they kind of bug...
