Why are my recessed light fixtures not flush?
I installed two new recessed LED light fixtures using 4″ new construction IC housings.

Is my 1990’s (Minnesota, USA) ceiling drywall too thick or something?
Why are my flat plate switches not flush?

What should I do if my toilet won’t flush?
Most of these are problems which you can easily fix by yourself. A toilet that won’t flush is a great inconvenience and that is why you should fix it ASAP.

What to do if recessed light falls down?
Avoid “overlamping” by sticking to the correct wattage. Once you have screwed in the light bulb, switch on the breaker to return power to the recessed lighting. Sagging recessed lighting or recessed lights that fall down can be an eyesore, but it’s an easy fix! However, not all electrical work can be DIY.
