Hello. I am adding some junction boxes in my basement. The metal boxes have a 1/2" hole and also a 1" hole on opposite sides. For the 1" hole I had thought that a 1" cable clamp would work. I ordered a few and to my surprise, the diameter is just a tad to big. Do you know if there is a...

Hello. I want to replace (1) 3-way toggle light switch with a wifi smart 3-way switch so that I can control my exterior garage lights with Alexa voice or just my phone. In researching, there are many brands and styles. I want to stay with a toggle switch style. Some say they are for a 3 wire...

Is it possible to add a motion sensor or a remote motion sensor (not dusk to dawn) of some sort to an existing outdoor wall mount light sconce? We don’t want to buy a new fixture that isn’t going to match. Attached is the fixtures I have that do not have sensors. Thank you.

I am having a pavilion build on our patio. The vaulted ceiling will either be cedar or pine. Leaning toward pine as it is much cheaper. I realize cedar holds up better in the long run but I have heard good things about pine. It will be sheltered from rain. It will be stained or painted if...

I have a dual handle Delta Classic bathroom faucet. I don't know the model #. The cold handle leaks out of the base right above the chrome ring. Weird part is that when it leaks out of the cold handle side, it is when the HOT handle is turned open, not when the cold handle is opened. The...

My attic light is a simple one bulb chain pull fixture. However, for the light to turn on, the main level hallway light switch must be turned On. The hallway switch is a single pole switch; it doesn't control any other light fixtures. I am going to replace the attic fixture with a dual...

My bedroom light is a ceiling fan and light fixture. The wall switch is set up where I have one switch to turn light on/off. The other switch is a switch/dimmer all in one for turning the fan on/off and speed control. We don't care about the speed control as we can do that right at the fan if...

I control the kitchen lights with (2) 3-way switches on either side of the room. One of them has to be in the ON position for the 2nd switch to work. I just realized that. I thought I blew a breaker the other day when the switch would not turn the light on, until I walked to other switch and...
