The old motion detector light was destroyed during the snow storm of 2019. The porch overhang collapsed.   I have had the replacement for months. This was the perfect time to do the install and hopefully get credit on my first submission of a PEP BB. If there is any additional information needed let me know.

Got to take one down and install it for a customer a couple of days back. Slow but steady progress trying to remember all the electricity BBs since I'm always under pressure from the clock.

Here is my submission for the Electricity - Sand (for Straw Points) - Replace with a Motion Detector Flood Lamp.

I went to adjust the "old" motion detector and discovered that the joint for the sensor was damaged and I was not able to adjust it so I replaced it.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided:
   - a before picture of the regular floodlight damaged motion detector light
   - a picture during the motion detector flood lamp installation
   - a post-installation action shot of the motion detector flood lamp working
