I've been binge watching your kitchen remodel. Very enjoyable as well as educational!
We appreciate it Lyle thanks for tuning in!
You really do a good job of explaining your processes. Thanks for the video.
Tip for fishing wires down a wall: you can use string and some small chain as weight and drop that down to your box. Sometimes you can drop it right in. In tight spots a second hand is necessary to grab the chain with a wire or needle nose while the person in the attic suspends the chain. *Doesn't work with insulation in the walls
Love the son’s attitude….”WE can go back in the attic” !
"Raining Romex". Great quotes and great video. The original cross line Bosch laser level! So neat to see which project inspired that purchase!
You just save me a TON of work, thanks for the great videos and the clear explanation of everything you are doing and why.
Whoa. Get a hardhat on in that attic sir. Those nails are killer.
Yes they are, good advice Jeff, thx!
I have learned so much w/ ur videos. Keep them coming. U have great team work going. Thx again for all the insights!!!
great tip on the heatsinks. i never realized that is what they were for!
Half hot! That's a new one for me. We call that a Split-Circuit. And losing a fish rod would suck 'cause they are expensive for the good ones. I think that you pointing out that extra precaution should be taken when installing 4" waffer lights in an unaccessable space is a HUGE piece of good advice. 4" vs. 6" makes a big difference. Great video as always.
Love those style lights. Been using for a while in remodels. 4000k is my fav color temp. Good vid.
The LED puck lights are a game changer.
And they suck, it’s like flood lights, prefer recessed lights.
Love them for the quick installs.wke note that the recessed bevel style wafers will not sit under a joist at all because they have more than a 1.5" rise on the wafer.
Just wanted to say, that's interesting when you talked about the ground being up on half hot receptacles.
My pops always judges other peoples electrical work, because technically, the ground should always be up, not down. This is due to the design of grounded plugs. You'll notice, the ground prong is longer than the other two, and that is to counter act gravity when something is plugged in. When installed correctly this way, gravity works to keep the cord plugged in, rather than unplugging it.
Still good information though, since it's always good to know other people's conventions, even if a snobby electrician like my dad would just call it wrong. Lol.
great job looks fantastic and super demonstration
This video has me questioning my lighting. Everything looks sooo bright. Think I'm gonna go in and add some more lighting😁
Many years ago I bought an oscillating tool that got me out of a jam. I took it to the fire station to show the guys, and before the week was over, 2 of the guys bought their own oscillating tools! If it could only drill holes....
That would be cool if it could drill holes 👊
Hi Stud Pack!
I wouldn’t say “can lights” are obsolete these days so much as specialized. There are situations where you can make good use of the ’recessabilty’ that a can provides. In my case, it was an 8-foot ceiling with seating underneath (a living room). By using “cans” I could move the light source up above the ceiling level an use black baffles. This really helped to cut glare when sitting in under the lights. Hope this counts as a “useful tip”!
Not doing a pilot can sure get you on those hole saws, they can jerk you yo the side and dig in if you dont predrill. Sound advice!
I liked the explanation on lighting layout.
👍
Man, I gotta say I’m pretty handy, but your explanation of details is awesome, and you are earning your money both as a contractor and on RUclips! Great work guys! New subscriber and enjoying all the vids.
Also, I bought a buzz saw last year for one little job, didn’t think I would use it much, but I use that sucker all over the place now. Great tool. Expensive blades.
Thx for the sub Mark 👍
Love the channel, have been binge-watching for project inspiration. Would you consider doing a video on how to safely work in a attic (and avoid falling through the ceiling and creating a ton of damage)?
Just went thru my first ceiling ever 😩😡 in an attic with catwalks. Must have let my guard down 💪
Have learned to wear a batting helmet when messing around in the attic.
Your a rock star 👍
👍👍
There's a bit of a debate about where best to place recessed lighting in kitchens. On side is, as Paul said, that the light should not be behind you, because then you'll cast a shadow on the countertop as you're working. The other side is that the light should be placed farther back so that the top cabinets don't cast a shadow on the countertop. It somewhat depends on the height of the ceiling, but the latter approach would result in the lights being placed 3 feet back from the wall, or 2 feet back from the face of the cabinets
Who hasnt lost a fish line in the wall...I know I've lost more than one, and a couple of magnets that got wedged in holes
Great information on working around ceiling joists. How about a link to the type of lights you used. Thanks.
Yeah that would be nice!
5:36 hey dad, that doesn't look like an attic shirt :D
I love it how you pre-plan and use all this in a integrated way. Do you actually draw a plan or is it all in your head?
He showed the plan in the first video.
Puck lights be be regretted in the future. They will not last as long as advertised. And the color of leds shift over time. So even if you can find the same model puck for replacement, the color temp will look different than the older ones.
What’s the exact model number for those LED lights? I’m doing a kitchen reno and they look like a great addition.
I would like to know too. Good info to put in the description b
I am interested to see more about how you converted the halfhot receptacle and switch. All the rooms in my house have these and I want to convert them but I can't find any info online on how to do this.
what lasers do you guys use?
do those little downlighters seal airtight?
Do you require any type of vapour barrier between the back of the lights and the Attic insulation? How is the light hole sealed off from the attic space?
No vapor barrier required in Louisiana Joel. The light is gasketed but how much of a seal IDK.
Do you have to put those puck lights under a joist? We’ve just been putting them straight into the dry wall at my place 🤷♂️
You can just sit them on the drywall
I saw these Halos at Home Depot, but they also carry similar ones called Commercial Electric that looks just as slim, 5 select colors, canless, and cheaper. Any experience with those?
I haven’t used them sorry
What size hole saw did you use?
10:40 that's color temp not CRI.
Out of curiosity was there only 1 of those metal boxes that you wired in the ceiling? And then all the lights were wired in a chain to that one box?
Each LED light comes with one of those boxes. The driver is inside
Awesome thank you so much. I love the videos im learning a lot of things I'll probably never need to do but as someone who likes to do things for myself it's good to have a source to learn from in the event an occasion arises.
Thx Blake and best of luck with your projects 👍
Can you put the part number for these lights. Thanks!

@@StudPack this link no longer works!
Why did you keep the switch so high?
We match existing switch heights in remodels so owners are already used to new switch heights
where can i get those lights, what is the model?
big box stores have them but we purchase at a locally owned supply house. They are Eaton Halo HLB4069FS1EMWR
Hey do you guys have an email for business inquiries?
Good morning...what is the light model number...thank you
I asked the same thig...again no answer...uncool!
Good question? I asked the same thing...NO answer...
Ok
Ok
