2. What are the exterior materials used in the Rhonda Way home construction?
- Roofing - Our original shingles were ELK Premium Prestige Roofing / Barkwood. ELK was bought out by GAF and the original shingle is no longer available. The replacement shingle is CertainTeed, Landmark Pro, color Heather Blend, from Carver Lumber, 8700 N. University, Peoria.
- Vinyl siding - CertainTeed / Natural Clay from Carver Lumber
- Brick - Saturn / Standard RA 1W49 from Peoria Brick and Tile, 501 Cole St., E. Peoria. The brick has been discontinued, and was installed by Johnson (253-4028).
3. Where can I find replacement parts for the front yard lamp?
JDL Lighting, 4809 W. Farmington Road, Peoria carries parts for the front yard lamp. They have globes, globe bases, and a globe retainer kit (including retainers, screws and springs). Kelly Ornamental Iron in East Peoria has replacement posts.
The globes are 12 inches in diameter, with an opening of 5-1/4 inches. It is recommended that an LED bulb be used in the lamp. A replacement LED bulb is the 8 watt GE A19 soft white LED bulb, which replaces a standard 60 watt bulb. A link to a replacement can be found at Amazon.
4. I've replaced the light bulb in the lamp post out front, but the light still does not work. What is the problem?
Check the ground fault interrupter outlet in the garage. The ground fault may be tripped.
