My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

10 years ago

I am trying to replace a recessed lighting can. No problems until try to put 4 clips that hold can against ceiling in place. Clips will not stay in place. I can get first clip in but as I try to snap second in first always pops out. What is proper way to do this? Fixture is Halo renovation type 6" can(Home Cheapo)
