I am a 71 year old woman whose light switch went out. Couldn't get a response from my electrician. Watched your video, went to Lowe's and bought me a switch, and it took about 5 minutes to install and saved lots of money. Thanks.
Going to try to do mine as well. My lamp is very dim when i plug it into the outlet that is controlled by the light switch. Works just fine in other sockets. So I'm going to replace the light switch and outlet. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
If someone like you, who has been alive for 71 years and speaking English for probably about 68 of those years. Yet still lacks the intelligence, perceptiveness, and self awareness to comprehend elementary English and says things like "bought me a switch". Truly anybody is capable of replacing a light switch. You did it your very first time, in comparison to speaking, hearing, and reading the English language for countless hours over decades as a primary means of communication.
Thank you thank you! Widowed 3 years ago and try and do everything hubby used to do (can’t afford an electrician if I want to eat this week!). Your video is more valuable than you really know. I can do this with your clear instructions, great visual and humor. I appreciate you!
I was feeling really frustrated that I had to replace my light switch, but this video made my night. Worth the frustration of an old house if I get to watch more of these 🤣
Ohhhhh my goodness. I was not expecting this topic to be funny or entertaining. This was fantastic. I watched it way longer than I needed to (after deciding I didn’t want to risk ending things on a beautiful sunny day).
This video was super helpful! I was able to replace my wall switch easily and safely. And the narrator of the video had me in stitches!!! Great job guys!
Thanks for a very informative video. Off to Home Depot for a new switch. My first time working with electricity, kind of nervous, but with these easy instructions, I can do this!!
I'm a 10,000 year old divorced grandfather who doesn't know how to do anything, literally anything, I don't even know how I'm writing this, and I watched your video and fixed my switch.
thanks so much for this. It will save me lots of money. Got a quote for two replacement light switches here in FL $317.00 that's just ridiculous. You're my new DIY hero for my very first project!!
Great video. I knew how to do this but needed a quick refresher. One advice that I learned from a master electrician friend I had who passed from Covid is that always, always, always, use your tester on a switch that still has power to confirm the device is working properly. There has many been many times where even electricians get shocked because the tester was dead or not working and zap!!!
Thank you so much for including that first step! I always forget this one. Last time I tried to do a diy project some guy came in yelling “get out of my house!” and “don’t replace my floor with sand!” Some people have no taste.
Thanks so much for teaching me this simple DYI. I've been married to a finish carpenter for 37 years. Bless his heart but the new switch has been sitting in the drawer for months... You know the old saying "The shoemakers kids are always barefoot"....😂
Great video. The only thing I would add is when you are scewing in the ground wire, always wrap the wire around the right as the screw is turning to your right. when you wrap the wire around the left of the ground screw as you are tightening the screw to your right as you can see the wire is opening as you are turning the ground screw.
This was very helpful and also very funny. I was feeling grouchy about how to figure this out for myself. And this inspired me and made me laugh. I have 2 different switches. One of them is just a wire jammed in and I don't see it attached to a screw.. Do I just pull really hard? Thank you
Well I don't believe the 500 year old person, but that was funny! I am 80 and am doing a lot of repairs my self so like the 71 year old I went to Lowe's and picked up a replacement switch. Watched your video and did it my self said the "Little Red Hen"! Thank you.
Really enjoy these videos. They're honestly some of the most helpful DIY videos I've found, and good for a laugh when working on something that's making me want to tear my beard out. Helped my project and sanity on multiple occasions now.
Great, hilarious vid. One piece of feedback though, the ground wire hook is going counter-clockwise which opens it up when you tighten down the screw. Switching it up the other way is a bit better normally. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Where I come from the light turns on when you flip the switch up but this was helpful I have to do this for my new place and now I have to watch a video about the sockets. I got a smoke dungeon that I’ve washed up and painted and fumigated and I’m putting in a new water heater and furnace and ducts and then I’m going to sell it and get a newer home. Flip a da flop. I’ve done all the work myself. Ripping up rugs and putting down new flooring and painting and landscaping and I’m almost to the part where I switch the old switches and sockets out to help it look newer on the inside. So far so good.
That's a two-way switch they are most common in hallways, they have a neutral wire and a Black, single pole light switches have 2 black live wires, and the neutral wire is constant meaning it's capped and completing the circuit so be careful when you watch, a little heads-up Warning ⚠️.

Thats beasty

I am over 500 years old and i watched this great video and learned how to install it myself
Lmao perfect comment.
😂😂
🤣🤣
501 here and I also learned this as well
Thank you thank you! Widowed 3 years ago and try and do everything hubby used to do (can’t afford an electrician if I want to eat this week!). Your video is more valuable than you really know. I can do this with your clear instructions, great visual and humor. I appreciate you!
Funny and breaks things down for dummies like me. Best narrated video ever. BADASS! THANK YOU!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Same!
The commentary on this video is so funny without distracting from the instructions. Perfect amount of helpfulness to humor ratio. 5 stars
❤️❤️
Thank you so much. Had no idea that a 50 year old switch could fail. You know your stuff!
I've been doing my own amateur electrical repairs for 45 years, but I learned several things from this terrific video. Thanks!
I was feeling really frustrated that I had to replace my light switch, but this video made my night. Worth the frustration of an old house if I get to watch more of these 🤣
🤣👍😊❤️
Same! Was having a rough day because moving sucks and laughed way harder than I expected.
😊❤️
Ohhhhh my goodness. I was not expecting this topic to be funny or entertaining. This was fantastic. I watched it way longer than I needed to (after deciding I didn’t want to risk ending things on a beautiful sunny day).
😊
"The last thing you want to do, is fix this, for somebody else!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video was super helpful! I was able to replace my wall switch easily and safely. And the narrator of the video had me in stitches!!! Great job guys!
Great instructions and hysterical commentary! You are my favorite!
Yay, thank you!😊❤👍
This is THE MOST VALUABLE VIDEO I never thought I needed in my life because I VALUE my life.
😊👍❤
Thanks for a very informative video. Off to Home Depot for a new switch. My first time working with electricity, kind of nervous, but with these easy instructions, I can do this!!
Thanks for the refresher! I took out a dimmer because the overhead now has a ceiling fan & light! Works perfectly now, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Step 1 had me laughing harder than I should have. Bravo!
😊🤣❤️
I'm a 10,000 year old divorced grandfather who doesn't know how to do anything, literally anything, I don't even know how I'm writing this, and I watched your video and fixed my switch.
This was the greatest DIY tutorial video I’ve ever seen. Informative and hilarious at the same time. I will subscribe now
Thanks 😊👍
thanks so much for this. It will save me lots of money. Got a quote for two replacement light switches here in FL $317.00 that's just ridiculous. You're my new DIY hero for my very first project!!
I'm also 500 plus years old and this is a great video.

😂 thanks for making a typically boring video entertaining!! Informative and funny!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much! You are hilarious and took the stress out of me replacing an old switch with a nice new shiny rocker switch. Thank you!!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for including that first step! I always forget this one. Last time I tried to do a diy project some guy came in yelling “get out of my house!” and “don’t replace my floor with sand!” Some people have no taste.
"the last thing you want on a clear sunny day or any kind of day is to die" 😂😂
Thank you so much I never replace a light switch in my entire life but thanks to you for making this happen ❤
Thanks so much for teaching me this simple DYI. I've been married to a finish carpenter for 37 years. Bless his heart but the new switch has been sitting in the drawer for months... You know the old saying "The shoemakers kids are always barefoot"....😂
Cause I just smiled the entire video. I just love it. I learned and laughed!
I was very nervous replacing the switch myself but this video helped so much. Thank you!!
Your welcome 👍😊
Changed the bathroom switch this morning with no problem. Great directions. 😊
Only thing I can say, I always do switches to turn on up not down. Other than that, this is - Perfect!
Great video. The only thing I would add is when you are scewing in the ground wire, always wrap the wire around the right as the screw is turning to your right. when you wrap the wire around the left of the ground screw as you are tightening the screw to your right as you can see the wire is opening as you are turning the ground screw.
Thanks for the video. I love the humor. 😂 Easy to follow and understand.
This video is a widow's lifesaver. Thank you
Good teaching! Good laughs!

Thank you. Easy to follow, did not die :)

Great, hilarious vid. One piece of feedback though, the ground wire hook is going counter-clockwise which opens it up when you tighten down the screw. Switching it up the other way is a bit better normally. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Where I come from the light turns on when you flip the switch up but this was helpful I have to do this for my new place and now I have to watch a video about the sockets. I got a smoke dungeon that I’ve washed up and painted and fumigated and I’m putting in a new water heater and furnace and ducts and then I’m going to sell it and get a newer home. Flip a da flop. I’ve done all the work myself.

I love your video! I needed the comedy!
Glad you enjoyed!
Didn't have a ground wire connected, but thank you for exposing where the live wire goes and the other one goes. Light is working!
Thanks to this video I changed my light switch and survive… although I did rewatch a few time.

When I try to put the case back on its like wiggly , any advice ? Thanks. 😊
This was GREAT! However, shouldn't the first step to be to go to the County Records section to verify house ownership?
you are correct. how could of we missed that step. you are awesome. 😊👍❤
@@StatUpBox Thanks! As a squatter for the last 6 months, I didn't know if I should be doing repairs like this. (I really enjoyed the video!)
Thank you Cheech Marin
I typically don’t prefer a monotone voice but after watching this I would welcome it
Great commentary and walk thru😊
Thank you kindly
