[BLEEP], I spilled those beans? Damn. It's a loaded question. Is it a 2x4 or a 2x6? Notching a couple of inches out of a 2x4 isn't going to leaving much room for support. I'm having trouble picturing the issue you're having. I'm not familiar with the what the LED mount might look like. You can't just move over to the edge of the joist or would that be too complex? ![]()

It flush mounts with the ceiling so the wiring and rectifier are contained up in the mounting box, which is typically recessed a few inches deep into the ceiling. However, since this light fixture is mounted directly under a 2x6 joist, the mounting box is very shallow and not deep enough to contain the rectifier and wiring. Moving it is no good because it is situated directly in the middle of a hallway. It would look funny juked off to the side. Meh, I'm looking for a workaround. Maybe something that will lower the light slightly but still look clean. Notching the joist is a last resort. Wait, here's a website, procrastination.com.

(01-19-2021, 11:30 AM)homebiscuit Wrote: Question for Rico, or anyone else suitably knowledgeable about carpentry. I'm replacing hallway globe lights with flush mounted LEDs. However, after removing the fixture for one I discovered it was mounted directly under a joist. There isn't enough room to fit the LED mount within the shallow cavity created by the ceiling sheetrock. If it's a truss, NO! If it's a joist, probably no, depends on span/load. Does your wiring come into a box, or directly into the old fixture? Probably best to move the light opening a few inches past the joist and patch the old hole. New LED fixtures are available with clips the lock into place against the sheetrock, without any nailed/screwed support. They also form the electrical box, so wiring goes directly into the fixture.

I just found out today that a “Doxle” was a mixed breed dog of a dachshund and a beagle. I always just called them “Beagle Weiners”. Say it out loud.
HB, Gorilla brand sells flush mount kits for this such occasion. It’ll look fabulous in the hallway!!!

Surgeries, medicines and even alternative medicines didn’t help at all. But after some duct tape, he lived another 15 years!!
I love it when workers are so knowledgeable about their craft.
We were notified that our order came in and the girl back in the stockroom at Lowe's didn't know what French doors were. ![]() We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

I too remember it from SNL. But then again, I may not be as young as I’d like to think I am.
After watching the “unbecoming your parents” Progressive commercials, I thought I’d read online about how not to act old. I’ll be darned if I wasn’t guilty of doing most of the stuff they said not to
I just had to do major damage control.. Yesterday, my wife went out and got a perm for her hair.. Normally it's a $150 perm, but the lady didn't like how the perm came out and she didn't charge for it..
The wife was in tears this morning after surveying the damage.. I must have said, "It'll go back how it used to be" like 20 times.. Now she gets to go to work and have all of her co-workers criticize it lolol.. RN's can be real divas.. |
