What kind of drywall compound and tape is needed to patch up a hole in the drywall? I have found videos and other forums talking about the procedure. Only question I have is when you use tape and then put drywall compound overtop, isn't it impossible to get it flat as there is now drywall...

They say CSA approved on the box so they are good to go. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Per the Q&A on amazon and the description, these are approved for use in Canada per electrical code, I will double check the manual and box once I receive them to make sure. It says a 4 1/8" hole needs to be cut for these. There are some existing lights in place from the builder that have...

Thanks for responding. I'll give it a little more force. Also, does anyone know how to remove a junction box for an older traditional light so I can put the wafer style light into its spot. I've seen videos of it online where the box gets cut and pulled out in pieces, but it makes a mess of...

I found some wafer style lights that have the look of traditional pot lights that we're going to go with. I've seen these being installed with the clips which seems fairly easy. How do you take these out of the ceiling with breaking the dry wall, it seems like the spring clips are putting a...

Does anyone know where to get fishing wires cheaper than home depot? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I guess this is what I'll have to do and then patch up any holes where we ran into obstructions.

Although this would make everything a lot easier, nobody in my family likes he look of these lights which is why we are going with the traditional looking potlights.

I live in a two storey house with attic access. I am planning on wiring some recessed lights into the ceiling this weekend. On the second floor, I plan on going into the attic to make sure I don't run into any obstructions above where I drill holes. For the main floor, other than cutting out...

I followed everything you said, thanks for the thorough reponse.i am going to consult an electrician just to make sure what I am doing is up to code, just worried that he/she is going to try and scare my parents into going with an electrician when I know its not a complex wiring job, only...
