I'm at the end of a project where my entire house is dug up and just waiting for the last few inches of topsoil and new grass to be installed. I had a new drainage system put in so thats covered with rocks and a felt pad (to prevent dirt from clogging the stones) I really dont know what i'm going to do with outside lighting but was wondering if it would be a good idea to lay some pipe around my perimeter before they fill up the space around my house with a few inches of dirt? I guess ever 10 ft or so id have a T that came up and stuck out of the ground (then would slice it off to make it level with the new dirt) Just tossing out ideas here..i dont want to have all this new dirt and grass be put in and then say darn, why didnt i do that? But then again, how easy would it be to fish wire through buried PVC anyway? looking for any input.

Hello, I am replacing my bedroom light fixture that has a dimmer switch. The junction box has 3 sets of wires. Each set has 1 black and 1 white. The previous fixture had 2 whites from the box wired together to the white fixture wire and a black from one of those sets of whites, that were wired together, connected to the black from the fixture. The other remaining wires were all twisted together and tucked up into the box. Here is my problem. I seperated them back to their black and white pairs. I capped one off and tucked it in the box. The new fixture had 2 sets of black and white wires. I connected each black and white set from the box to the fixture sets. I connected black to black and white to white. When I turned on the breaker, it tripped. What did I do wrong? Thank you for your help!
