    Seeking Assistance/ Junction Box (Ceiling)

    The 'pedestrian' door you refer to in the video is a doorway leading to the lower level of the home, actually there is an aluminum (not white) door; sheathing applied to the door as a fire-stop.

    Seeking Assistance/ Junction Box (Ceiling)

    Thanks, finally a response that I can interpret and is well presented. The switches are near the 'interior garage door' (8 feet to exterior wall). Would the interior garage door be considered an 'area of entrance'? If so, the switches with timer are about two to three feet (From Interior...

    Seeking Assistance/ Junction Box (Ceiling)

    Seeking assistance in attaching an octagon box (preferably metal) to finished ceiling (dryvit) in garage. I would like to attach the box securely at the bottom of the joist, 'not' side, nor using any other system; i.e.> hangers, tabs, bars, etc. This seems to be feasible contingent upon the...
