Thanks in advance for any advice.Īdditional Comments: I like the website. This is a new house so no drywall or insulation is in the way and yes, it’s mine.I’m using the correct bulbs (another problem I encountered in the past).I thought that was my first problem – trying to wire a single pole dimmer – but I can’t figure out the two pole dimmer either.
