Am writing this with the hope that someone out there may have seen this before. I am currently have the brick on my house covered with a stone veneer. Next to my front door is the outside light which will need an extender on the octagonal box to make flush. Problem is that the extender I picked up from Home Depot is a little larger than the original older box (around 1970) and the screws won't line up in the designated slots. I know Home Depot doesn't carry all products and was wondering if a true electrical supplier would have older sized extender to fit the smaller box. Another option would be to use washers on the screws which would definitely work, but not sure if would be to code. I would just change out the old box to a new one but it's mortared into the brick with the wires fastened tightly from behind. I may just have to do that, but it wouldn't be my first option. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ...

When I turned the circuit breaker back on after replacing a ceiling light fixture, the light on the new fixture didn't come on and neither did the light in another room on the same circuit. I flipped the breaker switch back off and rechecked the wiring on the new fixture. The neutral wire had come loose, so I reconnected it and made sure the connection was good. I turned the breaker switch back on, but nothing changed. Any ideas?
