@@BecomingAnElectrician apologies, it was during the time when you were talking about hammering in the metal plate to protect the wire if the wire is too close to the edge of the stud
@@Anonsbdofjrnwodb Oh okay thanks for clarifying! There is a code rule I think on this, but I don't know the exact number. As you start to become an electrician, just remember it's all about protecting the wire.. so if it feels too close to the edge of the stud, then I'd suggest putting a metal protection plate there. Another thing to think about is how long are typical screws going into the stud? I think drywallers use 1 1/4" on their first sheet, then longer screws on double-drywalled walls (such as party walls or ceilings where a dwelling is above).

Lol, yeah I really enjoyed them, and they protected my clothes (which helps save money, too..) - they workflow is awesome! Also they are "overalls" - coveralls are what mechanics often wear (sorry if I said it wrong in the video).
Awesome video
Thanks so much! This roughing-in series is now complete! Here's the articles!: becoming-an-electrician.com/tag/roughing-in-series/
But what measurement defines too close?
Defines too close for what? How close to staple? How close to label the wire? Please describe further!
