Hey there guys! Glad you're enjoying this video ❤ grew up doing our own electrical work ( my opa thought me he is a construction worker and is 79 years old) never once had an "electrician" in our home in south America but in the states I have paid twice for electrical work and both times Ive had to redo wires or attach the fixtures correctly myself.
This light only had 1 screw holding it in place 😑
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ME DOING WORK IN MY HOME HIT DISLIKE AND MOVE ON....
I love your straight forward responses. Clearly a grown woman and not seeking approval. Keep up the GREAT work. My grandfather learned the ins and outs of doing construction in a home and I know quality work when I see it. You my dear do EXCELLENT work!!!!
Puriod!
Invest into a laser lever and whenever you drill a hold drill in reverse your holes will come out with more cleaner edges.
And you are doing good dont worry about not supporting a local business, a lot of them dont supporter the local community anyways and some of them tear up people's homes and rip you off for simple jobs you can do yourself...and buy a stud finder,and they use plastic boxes for safety purposes, so if a wire is pinched, frayed,ect..if you was using a metal box the box would be electrically charged and short or shock you..
And dont forget whenever you use wire nuts, wrap each one with electrical tape.
Wow! I don’t think I could of done this, as soon as I saw the joist in the ceiling I would of given up. You’ are amazing! I think you deserve a tv show “DIY with the Queen” 💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️
She is not to be played with! So don't play with her! Sweet voice... Savage skills! 💪🏾👸🏾
lol thanks hun
Yeeesss, she's so fantastic
Yas!!! Dont mess with her house!! Her house is not for play play!!
Badass. Good job. I installed some light fixtures in my entryway after paying someone to do it for me and to tell me I needed all this bs so he couldn’t do it. So I had to pay for 1 hr for him to tell me that. Mind you what he was telling me I needed was unnecessary. So I watched a few CZcams videos and did it myself.
Queenii, you so gifted, not lazy, you save thousands dollars for your family..... bravo.....
I’m here squinting when she cutting the ceiling like the dust is gonna fall in my eye 😂
lmao
😂
Me too. And I wear glasses..🤣🤣🤣
As an electrician I salute you.. This was very entertaining especially since I can do this in my sleep. I got a ton of ASMR tingles..lol Good job.
Aaww thanks Thomas
Once again. I am amazed at your skills!!!

I love her no fear, can do attitude. Respect!
Girrrrrlll YOU DID THAT!!! I absolutely love seeing what we are capable of , I’ve saved thousands replacing every fixture in my fixer upper and you took it to a whole other level✨ ❤️👏🏽🙌🏽
They look amazing! You are so talented! This is inspiring me to do some home improvements myself. ❤️
Go 'head girl! I'm so impressed! You've just motivated me to step outside my comfort zone and try my hand at my own home improvement projects! Thanks for this inspirational video!

Thank you for actually explaining everything in every video you do. I can only understand how to do things from your videos and I've taken classes read books watched so many videos and you are so amazing at explaining in a way i can understand so thank you
Who needs an election? You did it and now I am going to try it ! Thanks for your video! You are a blessing!
Awesome Job! Makes me want to try it. You truly have no fear.. that is all that ever stops us anyway. Thanks for making it look so easy.
Queenii you are such an inspiration to me.....I've had so many ppl get over on me. I am in the process of updating my home and I will NOT give another cent to someone to do a half job. Thank you so very much for posting these videos. Your kitchen looks amazing....Happy Holidays to you and your family.
You are so welcome =) happy holidays!
Patience of a saint. You might wat to build your home from scratch soon. I can see you doing it. Great work 👏
We build our homes from scratch in my birth country =)
You never cease to amaze me..I'm looking to replace 2 can lights over island with pendants (2005) house too, but my ceiling is so high i would have to put a step ladder on island to do it..and I just had quartz put in so ill leave it to an electrician..there on dimmers now and I want just these 2 to be on separate line. Looking forward to next video thanks so much..woman power!!!
yes leave that to pro too high for me lol
Thanks Queenie😻😻😻
Sis, how.....HOW, do u know how to do all this. Im literally AMAZED.... AMAZED!
.... all while a new baby at home... speechless 😶... leaves no excuses
I love it. You are doing such a great job.
Listening to you talk, was like listening to myself. I'm inspired. Awesome job. 👌
You amaze me every video with everything u research and just jump in there and do it!! U go mama!! Love watching and thanks for explaining everything!!
I've never commented on a CZcams video before. I really felt compelled to say....thank you. Knowing I couldn't afford an electritian, I stressed and worried about how and what steps needed to install new lightening in the kitchen. I hadn't a clue where to even begin. So very basic even I could understand lol. I'm going to go for it. Love you....thanks again
Wow!! Hands down the best video of how to install pendant lights that I've seen. Easy and simple instructions. Thank you so much. I had to subscribe to your channel. 💕
Queenii, you are so gifted! Thank you for putting a page with your purchases. We are building a new home and I don't like any of their choices for light fixtures. I am definitely ordering these pendants and saving $ :)
Giving me confidence to do my own pendant lights and save the money. Like a Queen! Love it!
Great job!! Very helpful for those of us that want to save money and want to do it ourselves. You provided great details for us amateurs. Females ROCK!!
You just gave me so much motivation and encouragement to do some recessed lights in my living room.
Wow this is amazing queenii I'm trying to get on your level like I want people to come in and be like wow I love this I'll be like yea bish I built this whole house 😂
LMAO your funny

Girl, I want to be her. How Sway. I cannot. She is on a whole other level.
Hola. Great job! U got a great deal on the light fixtures too. Thanks for explaining what u did, too. I prefer, led daylight for my bulbs. They make a big difference. Great video. Looking forward to more. Have a blessed day!

I LOVE you!!! My husband took down track lights to install two pendant lights and he has been arguing with me that he has to cut an entire rectangle in the area to install them from the main light box. I swear I do not know why I waste my breath. You just saved me so much stress haha , going to do it myself! I can be petty and handy :)
Completely obsessed, binge watching ALL your videos!!!
You blow me away! Amazed you did this yourself. Sounds like you are self taught. Love that you left in the non glamorous electrical bits. Realistic home reno. It doesn't take 1 day like on tv.
So impressive!!!! You literally can do everything!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My hats off to you!!!Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Watching all of your videos in utter amazement at the things you are not afraid to tackle. You are simply amazing.
Girl!!!! 🤯 You never cease to amaze me!
Congratulations on baby girl and thanks for the video
great job! Everything looks great. This gives me confidence to finally install a light that's been sitting in my garage since my wedding :'D
You can do it just shut the power off lol and take your time ❤️
The kitchen looks fabulous........ people will always find a reason to complain all the while watching a free video 🙄 Time is money you are the local business!
Lol say it again!
Very impressive! God bless you and keep up the great work!!! I love that I can hear the baby in the back as well as your little cheerleader and little apprentice!
Thank you 😊
You go girl!!! This really helped me to realize I don’t need a stupid man to do this kind of work!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😃😃😃😃. We are empowered!
Girlllllah!!! You make me feel like I can do anything 😂 Bravo sis 👏🏾 👏🏾
You have inspired me to do more work in my home!! No longer will I pay people to do a job that I clearly can do myself!!!
I spend my whole morning watch all your DIYs and you are amazing!!!
What a steal on those great pendant lights! 🌸🌟👏
Wowwwiiieee!!!!! Lady you’re something else - you are of a different grade of DIY connaisseur !!!
You just put us all to shame - keep up the good work ( it’s very encouraging ❤️)
Much love and blessings to you and your family ❤️
thanks hun
You are so inspiring. I have been working on my house as well but i have yet to do electrical. I had to repair the holes the electrician made. You are very talentive.
Thank you for the explanation of the wings on the box you were using that was helpful.
Wow you're amazing. 4 kids and all. Looks awesome and thank you for sharing this.
Wow! That was impressive. My husband would lose it if I start cutting holes in the ceiling! Haha I was scared when you did that.. but it came out amazing!!!
I'm glad I've come across this, now I can face my fears and worries of connecting my own pendant. I wanted to connect it then talked myself out and said I'll wait for the lockdown to be lifted and get an electrician. Thank you queenii
Respect to you for doing all the electrical work. You're the lady boss 🙌 This really upscales the look of your kitchen, it's so modern and elegant ✨💛
Hi I kept passing up your channel and then decided to click on it glad I did I love the before and after picture of your kitchen are you superwoman doing your thing 👏🏽👏🏽 and with a infant 👍🏾😊
thanks for watching!
Great video Boss Lady. You are giving people like me confidence to do this themselves. Turned out great.
2 thumbs up. Girl you're a bad mama jama.
I love it. Always wished I had construction know how. The lights came out beautifully
I love the lights their so pretty! That’s a great deal you got for them as well!
Awwww shucks nah!! I watched the whole video and had to hit you up again. Excellent video. Yours was the first to answer ALL of my questions. Can't wait to tackle this job this weekend if I don't get trapped to work any OT! I'm already stoked to go and get it done. Thanks again for the info and great vid help!!
Thanks for the content. Taking down my horrid fluorescent kitchen light and installing some recessed lighting. Cheers from Reno, NV.
That ONE SCREW story upset😩 me BUT the final result inspired me🙌🏽 BOLD MOVES MISS QUEENII!
I love the pendant lights they look soooo pretty.
You did that you did such an amazing job I'm loving the light fixtures.
Motivation to continue with home improvements...thanks so much❤️❤️
My Angel and Queen, you have just inspired me to put up my own chandelier in my kitchen that I have been holding off on for a long time now due to deciding if I wanted to pay someone to do it for me or not. I personally, didn’t really want anyone to put it up for me because I wanted to learn how to do it myself to be able to help others learn how to do it for themselves also! Thank you for your inspiration and professional tips, REGARDLESS, of what anyone has to say about how you put up your own pendants! God Bless you and your family sweetheart🙏🏾✊🏾❤️💋
Girl, you so crazy! ❤ Lol! I get nervous changing light switch plates!!!🤣🤣🤣
I am a female that tackles most everything around the house. So, I am happy to see a woman after my own heart. You did a great job. Kudos!
This gives me the motivation to add more electrical outlets in my kitchen and add recessed lights!! You’re the truth mamas!!
You just empowered me...Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful kitchen! Wonderful job!
Gorgeous kitchen you did a fantastic job suggestion try putting clear bulbs they will make the crystal glisten looks so much better
I was looking for clear led daylight bulbs , hope i find some today
Wish me luck!
Great video and commentary.......Cool Beans...LOL, love it.
A quick tip. When you patch the sheetrock put a piece of wood into the hole and lay it across the hole. Put a screw on each end to make sure it doesn’t move. (Make sure the screw sinks in just a little bit so you can cover with spackle.) Then you can screw the piece of Sheetrock into the wood so you don’t have to worry about it falling down while you patch it.
I’ve done that on other projects I was just running out of patience
As soon as you said “I find It so interesting 🤔” I hollered. Some people, I tell ya! I know for me, my DIY nature comes out of not wanting to spend an arm and a leg on certain services. One or two small items, I can do. But bigger jobs (like the recessed lights I want to put throughout the whole downstairs) I’ll hire someone. So yeah, I wouldn’t pay $600 for handyman level work, either!
Turned out super nice!!!😍💪🏿
Ohhh Queenii that kitchen is Beautiful 😲💖💯💖
Thank you! 🤗
Glad I came across this video Super Mom. Kitchen looks great!
Awesome, excellent job 😊
Beautiful work!!
That turned out beautiful...job well done!
