Challenging DIY: Installing Kitchen Pendant Lights into Steel

Exactly where I want to install 3 pendant lights over a breakfast bar is a large structural steel beam just above the plasterboard - this is called 'Challenging DIY!'.

Those Techscrews are a game changer for jobs such as this. Nice job well finished- I like to se people take a pride in their work- it is so satisfying.

Great job Stuart. Well done. I didn’t know about Tech screws previously so this has been very educational! Thanks.

Bacon, eggs and ProperDIY 💪🏼 perfect Sunday morning

Brilliant finish and shows how to get over usually an insurmountable problem and no ugly wires. 👍👍 Great Job

The channel and range of topics Stuart is brilliant, so helpful and clear, thank you. I just marvel that you get all your jobs done and decide locations, styles etc without the “assistance” of an ever present other half “supervisor”. You’re so lucky.

Fantastic job Stewart and agreed. It does look like they were put in when the house was originally built.

_HELLO!!_ Also the tap knock raised a familiar smile!

Awesome video as always Stuart, I’ve spent my life in builders merchants and around tradespeople and this approach, level of planning and finish is above what a lot of tradespeople would deliver!

As an electrician, I must say that I am very proud of you! 😊 Very good solution and nicely done job. 👍

They do look really nice and just like you said, as if they've been there from the start!

Great job Stuart. Meticulous planning, for a great finish.

with tech screws it can also be a good idea to drill a small piolet hole just to help get them started.

I had a similar situation in our Kitchen. I opted to install a restored and very well finished 19th century Oak Beam and I had my contractor hang our antque lighting from such. I must say it looks extraordinary.

Excellent work Stuart . Again you've given great advised. Seriously looking at purchasing the endoscope. You've made this into a must have tool for any DIy 'er

[RiBenjafield]

Wow, what a video! This channel is just going from strength to strength! 🙂 My partner also watches with me now and we think you’ll be on the telly soon Stuart! Your lovely wife must be chuffed to little mint balls with that job - looks amazing!

I had what I thought was the craziest coincidence ever recently, although my wife was less amazed but I had to share. So I play in a function band and for the past 2 years we've played new years eve at a pub around 80 miles away. On the little country road to this pub we went past a house last year that I thought looked just like yours! This year I thought I'd see if the house had a new fence as that would confirm my thoughts. To my amazement it was indeed your house!I found this most exciting, of all the YouTubers and all the roads in the country. I'm not sure my wife understood as I tried to explain the situation as she was less impressed. I'm not mental by the way so don't be concerned. I just wanted to share my amazing story 😅

Such an illuminating video, great job as usual! 😎
