I am doing some very basic wiring in a newly poured ICF (insulated concrete form) basement, and need some tips on how to install a device box on this type of insulated wall... - the smallest depth box I could find was 1.5" deep - the plastic strapping inside the wall to which I assume I would attach the device box to is located at a depth of 1/2" - drywall thickness of 1/2" So, 1.5" - 1" leaves the device box sticking out 1/2" from the drywall. Any ideas??

Hello. I'm a new old house owner and a newbie at forums and posting, so go easy on me. The house I bought had an awful chandelier. I took it down. The old chandelier had the power wire split with one wire attached to a red wire from the j-box and the other attached to a white wire from the j-box. There was also a ground attached to the ground screw. The new chandelier I bought had the exact same thing, a single power wire which I split in half. I hooked the wire with writing on it, which I find is usually the neutral, to the white wire and the other wire to the red wire from the j-box. I also attached the ground. Nothing happened. I switched the wires once thinking that I had made a mistake about which wire on the new chandelier was the neutral, but that did not work either. After this, I tried to attach another light fixture in the same way to this j-box. It does not work either, leading me to think that there is something wrong with the outlet or wiring in the j-box. However, this outlet worked fine before I disconnected the old chandelier. In the j-box, there are also some beige wires taped together and some black wires taped together. Reading other posts, I think this is normal and the red wire is the hot. The outlet this j-box hooks to is on a dimmer switch and my house was built in 1960, FYI. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.
