- #thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault I could not find one video on this issue. Who ever builth house they just put a wire through siding, this is hard to mount and seal a light correctly. When installing lights around horses make sure they are not shining into horses which takes away their night vision,
Using the string to hold the light to the wall while wiring was great. Don’t think I would have thought of that! I can use that tip. Thanks Rick! 💡💡
No don’t lick your finger. Your neighbor probably has a tester but if you turn the light on and kill the breaker it will go off. Test it. More people die each year from 120v than any other voltage.
Or just plain turn the power off
Thanks for posting this. There are plenty of reasons people want to surface mount the junction box instead of flush mounting it. Good video.
Glad it helped
Probably even more reasons not to do it.. water intrusion anyone? 🤔
Thanks for sharing. Exactly the jbox I purchased today. So this was very helpful
Thank you Rick 🥰 that back box is a really good idea. I think it would also work well on a wooden shed.
I am a little disappointed that I didn't get to see the finished one at the front of your house 😘🥰
You are a very smart and resourceful guy . You could have been on HOME
IMPROVEMENT. You have so many hidden talents. I would have loved to have met you, back when we were both kids. I bet that you were popular with the girls back in high school.
you're so right. The exterior mounting for electrical are not as plentiful (at least for this type of exterior box cases). Thanks for sharing your experience!
Good job on the light instal. I've seen real licensed electricians do a crappier job. They don't give a damn. Crooked boxes, no sealing. Ground???? well, since they learned it has to be "up to code" but they'd be lazy if it wasn't that. You work the way I do. Meticulous. Thinking all the time. Common sense. And the project is done right! Or not at all. (too many of the not-at-all things around my house! LOL)
⭐️🌻⭐️ I love watching ‘How to Do’ videos. YOU have a GREAT place set up there in TEXAS! 🐴
Glad you like them!
Hi Rick, good morning. Hope your day goes great brother!
You're one well-rounded dude... horse (and dog?) behaviorist extraordinaire, handy man, firearm expert, prolific you tube poster, and the list probably goes on! 👍 Thanks for keeping things interesting, Rick. Blessings!

Hey Rick-horsey related question here.
I usually ride in a rope halter or some sort of bit less bridle. I always get the “you’re going to damage your horses naval bone with all that pressure!” “Use a snaffle bit to equalize pressure!” Or whatever.
I’ve done some research and there is scientific studies where it can do more damage than a bit can.
Idk what to believe haha, I still go bitless cause it’s not like I’m yankin my horses face off. Anyways wanted to hear your response to the “it’s more dangerous”.
BS, it is what people say that are too scared to ride in halter, so they try and find a way to fear others so their fear is concealed. Do you think I would use a rope halter if it was doing damage to my horse? Are these same people saying never use a halter or tie a horse in a halter because it will damage bone.. total bs
Thank you for the video, it was just what I was looking for.
Good Afternoon Rick
consider a Smart FEIT electric floodlight w camera.
Any idea how much they cost today, with camera? TY
Good Morning! 🌞
Flood lights are good for immediate reaction & target acquisition.. Plus they blind
I need to replace my backyard light, it's good to see exactly what's involved.
But,but Rick...good job Brother. I have a hilarious comment I would love to share,
however, with the tic mark you have...well I'll refrain from that comment at this time.

There isn't a job Rick can't do by the way indoors or outside if you cover new screws with clear nail varnish ( yes Rick I said nail varnish lol ) it will protect your screws from rusting. Great job hope the boys are well. 🐴🐴🐈⬛🐴🐴🐇
looks great, That should be bright enough to deter varmits.
Interrogation lights installed 👍
Cool video but would never pass inspection. No cable clamp. No sheathing covering wire on entry.
Thank you brother. This is one got me some extra bread in my pockets🤟🏾 you the man!
This is totally an improvement but be aware it falls short of current code. Which might not be enforced in your area. 1) Romex must penetrate the junction box by at least 3", but this has zero. 2) It's unlikely the romex was stapled to the structure within 6" of the box/fixture (assumption based on prior work, but only way to know for sure is to explore under the interior drywall/finish). 3) Optional maybe, but you want "damp location" wire nuts which seal out water (agreed that this install is safely well-under the roofline, but future owners might pressure wash the structure... yeah I know). I'm not an electrician so I might have missed something. Totally not trying to ding this. Cheers.
👍🤠 no code where I am at Texas
@@ThinkLikeAHorse Yeah the Texas power grid and code is definitely "something else". :-) I imagine everyone needs generator backup.
@@ThinkLikeAHorseNEC is a national code, not state.
You are wrong, too. Romex sheath jacket only has to enter the box 1/4". There is no 3" rule whatsoever. The length of the conductors inside the box is 6" minimum. If using a box connector with a clamp, the support of a cable is 12" from the box. Connector without a clamp is 8". Support is not required when the wire is fished in the wall and is not acceptable to support it. So it doesn't apply here at all. The main problem is that he did not use a connector.
There is absolutely no need or requirement for any special wirenuts for this installation.
Hi, I need your help. I am installing a motion sensor light on a brick exterior wall. The light fixture has a 5" round back plate and the junction box i bought is 4" round as i could not find a 5" round junction box. I would like to know what you recommend. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you.
Looks great, Rick.
I love your style! Very precise directions. Easy to follow for us stupid humans. 🤪
Are you going to touch up the paint?
I did I forgot to add pic
Hello Rick et everyone
This will come in handy, thanks...
Love learning home projects even though I rent 😒
Dang bro you can tell you’re a retired guy. Lol you had a working light that didn’t look bad but it wasn’t quite right enough for ya. Lol 😂
Man I can’t wait till retirement so I can make everything right “enough” at my house. Right now after work I have a “who gives a $hlt” attitude! Lol
Thank you Rick.
🚒🚒🚒Dude! This is on my to do list! Thanks for the info!
thank you❤ exactly what i was looking for
You're welcome 😊
Ah ha the ole country mount . Wimberley Texan
This is great info - thanks, Rick
I have this same problem ha. You just pulled the old light off and the wires that were attached just stayed in tact?
Hi Rick, thank you good information 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Rick, do you think that a person who is deaf and only uses sign language would make a good horse trainer? I'd love to hear you develop this either as an exercise where the "trainer" has to somehow demonstrate to an owner that the owner is not communicating effectively to their horse OR just watch how someone who can't speak verbally gets the message to the horse.
Perhaps if you can find someone you can co-opt to help you produce a video from this angle, then the message of using body language may get better understood by owners who don't speak the horse's language.
Sure why not maybe better since they can’t talk
Thanks for the video. Exactly what I needed!!!
Glad it helped!
This was a great great video ! Thanks you 😊
Great video bro quick question where did you buy the light at? And are the bulbs replaceable? Thanks again.!!👍💯
very helpful video. Thanks!
Glad to hear that!
What were the screw sizes for the metal plate that you mounted inside the box to support the flood light? Did they come with the box?
yes
@@ThinkLikeAHorse #8 X 32 or other size ? ruclips.net/video/d2OFKn39IXU/видео.html Idea to measure.
Where is a connector for that box? That is not a proper or legal installation.
Thanks!
Pretty smart 👍👍
appreciate it
is that junction box that u bought plastic or metal?
not plastic
Did that little bar that runs across the junction box come included with it ? Mines didn’t come with one
I think the Light came with it not the box
❤
I'm sorry but that looks like straight up crap.
Great 🎥:)
👍
Hey gun people
and fireplace people and flood lights people LOL
Great advice! Thanks Rick.
Hey, have you seen anything on the trucker convoy in Canada? Protesting the mandates. Unbelievable division. You are a racist if not vaccinated lol
Never explained without a ground. Purpose of the entire video
Lol wait “lick your fingers”? Wow
Was looking good untill your chaulking job . Dam man u ruined it 😂
You may want to put a disclaimer on your video so you don't get sued.
you could have went thinner with a pancake box
No, pancake boxes are not designed for exterior surface mount. They would have to be embedded in the wall.
