This barndominium is coming along quite nicely.

The garage space on this one is going to be awesome when it's all finished. We're making good progress on the electrical installation and it's exciting to see the project start to take shape.

Looking forward to seeing this one completed.

We were called out to replace a light bulb along with a few other electrical items around the home.

Simple enough, right?

Well, the new bulb didn't fix the problem. 🤔

After a little troubleshooting, we found the real issue. When the recessed light had originally been installed, one of the fixture wires had been accidentally pinched under the metal retaining clip. It had even left a small burn mark on the trim. Other than that, it looked almost perfectly normal.

We repaired the damaged wiring, corrected the installation issue, and now the light is working perfectly.

Sometimes what looks like a bad light bulb turns out to be something completely different.

A little EV charging action today.

Whether it's a dedicated Level 2 charger in the garage or a properly installed receptacle, having the right setup makes charging safer, faster, and more convenient.

If you're considering an electric vehicle, planning ahead for charging at home can make all the difference.
