I did a search and saw a few posts come up but none are for what I have going on. I recently had an addition build, shell only, and am doing the interior myself. I want to mount porch lights to the exterior of the building and since I have Bead type siding the box stores don't sell exactly what I need. I bought mounting blocks from a supply company but the guy working the counter didn't have a clue on instlaling them.
My question is, this particular mounting block comes in two parts, the part with the flange that mounts under the siding, and has a single hole through the center, in a propeller like cut, and a cover trim to cover the siding when put back on.
How do you mount a light to it? There's no screw locations, etc. Should there be an electrical box in the back? Any pictures/advice would be a huge help.
Thanks.
