we're just gonna we're gonna use a fan rated box even though it's a chandelier I always put fan rated boxes in bedrooms dining rooms etc in case anybody ever puts fan it's ready to go and then we're going to attach this to the joist my wiring for the light will come in here I'm going to take this knock out out and we're gonna pass our tether through there and attach it to this side of the joist because we don't have a lot of room in here so let's move this table cover drill that hole and I get to go in the Attic again whew alright guys so we have our junction box perfectly centered with the hole drilled on our joists and this is a good little tip we wanted to show you so the box will actually come with this screw right here the purpose of this is to go right in the middle and that actually secures the box to the joist and it holds it in place while you're roughing in your electrical but when you use a hole saw like we did the hole saw has a pilot bit on it the pilot bit is actually larger than the screw that the box gives you so this will not dig into the joist and it will not hold it so we're just gonna use it leftover grk screw what are these like two and a half three inches yeah and all you need is a longer screw see now i'm bottoming out and now it's held in place so all you need is a longer screw so you might run into that problem if you do use a hole saw don't worry about it just get a longer screw and secure that puppy in there ya know is that screw holding up the weight of the fan or the light no that's a good point this screw is not structural it's not supposed to hold the fixture it's not supposed to support anything it's just purely to hold the box in place while you're doing it the electrical these bolts that you actually see come inside of the box they're strapped to it just like that these are the ones that are holding the fixture they go in there like that but we'll show you guys that later all right but I'm gonna hop up there and we'll run the wire right we
