Great video but it Would have been great if the camera is facing the work being done
Why didn’t you show how you ran the wire
Excellent!! You held my attention all the way through. Thank you for being here on UA-cam and also thank you for sharing your knowledge. Kind regards, Steve.
Thank you for the feedback. Aways glad to help. Let's get to it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. You are the man!!!
very helpful video thanks. and i agree with the drop ceiling makes running wires a breeze.
Thank you that was well done. I will be checking back and start getting better at diy. Thanks again.
Great explanation
Thank you.
great video , that's exactly what i needed.
Great video. I do everything you do, lessons learned the hard way, plus I pull breaker just in case
Great video👍
Nice video, very informative. I thought 6" was the minimum for wires in boxes, so wouldn't you of had to install pigtails to the wires old wires to extend them?
thanks for another great video.
You are very welcome!
Great foundation techniques

Delete switch leg, run 12/3 from light
11:36 "You never, under any circumstances, want to take a knife or a razor in the back of this box."
12:12
;-) I know what you were saying though.
I caught that too 😂 I seen another video yesterday where someone was saying not to touch ground wire with load/lead screws then ended up doing that anyways 😂
Great video, can you make one on how to run a new romex wire in an installation just shown?
Very good video. Where and how often do you put a USB port? Are they okay in the bathroom and kitchen?
Good video. But looking for something a little different. I have to coach style lights on either side of bathroom mirror.Both have built in push button switches. Would like to REPLACE one with just a switch for an over the mirror light bar, and REPLACE the other side with JUST an outlet . Possible video for either ?? Thank you.
Have you done a video on short wires? If not … can you?
Thanks for this tutorial
This video … liked and saved for future reference
I Subscribed too
Thank you. Two questions: do you have to ground the box as well in this case or it’s made of a non conductor material? The other question is: it looks as you cut the wires less than 6 inches from the box …. How long is the minimum? Thanks
I have a stupid question. Couldn't you have just added 2 pigtails to the existing Hot, Nuetral, and ground and avoided running the new line.
Did he ever reply to you. ? Doesn't look like he answered any bodies questions.
Very nicely done. I'm in a apartment, it was a garage conversion and the electric is a mess. They pushed all the wires in the backs of terminals. One day I came home. I hit the switch for the ceiling fan and heard a big pop. And both the outlet and switch blew out. Now I have no ceiling fan. I open up the box and now not sure what wire is off. It's a metal box and not sure what's wrong or right
How do I know what the tork for the screws on the switch is?
Nicely done! I have a similar situation, but the wire has no ground, just two wires (black and white). Should I just run a new circuit, or is there a way to add a ground?
Did you ever teach us about extending the wires?
I bought a roll of thhn 12 awg wire that I use for ground pigtails. The less bare wire, the better imo. The other thing I like is to use stranded pigtail wire on commercial receptacles with wagos.
What is I have that old school loop wiring can I add an outlet?
Nails are screwing into the stud. Got it.
Can a ground fault receptacle be installed rather than just the plain receptacle?
Cut the jacket off the romex before inserting in box.,,, much easier,
First time watching your video. Great job!
Also, what kind of coffee are you drinking? I need some of that.....
lol freshcoffeeplease.com
I’m hand on need a bit more closeup. But thanks for helping us
I'm just kidding. I already knew that. lol
Can you do a video on how to run a dimmer switch off of a gfci outlet?
Is there already a switch there?
Did you ever make the video going from a receptacle box to switch? There's a room i'm working on that has 2 heavy duty receptacles GFCI, & a ceiling fan, before i rip their wall apart to confirm that one was actually a light switch previously, I was thinking if it wasn't i could just piggy tail the light in & just replace the GFCI with a light switch or do it side by side like you are, which didn't occur to me at first. Idk what do you think about my theory? 11:02 & yup the one i'm doing atm is a tabbed blue box that came out of the wall it is extremely old though. Might as well update the light & make a switch while i'm at it.
Good video, where you can get the torque screwdriver
They sell them on amazon!
Great video but how many people with have a single gang box ? Most will have a plastic box nailed to the stud they will have to cut out then put a old work box in .
Did you ever do a video on changing a switch into an outlet? I want to change the garbage disposal switch into an outlet, because the garbage disposal has been removed. Thanks!
I haven't yet but that would be a good one
Did you ever make the other video of converting instead of adding a wire?
I have not net but more content is coming!!
cool video with a good explanation. Different Design of US sockets and switches than in Europe where I live. But I would say that is interesting design. You can check out at some of my videos look of electrical sockets and switches and tel me what you think about the internal design
Can I add 2 switches instead ? One for light and one for garbage disposal.
It can be set up many ways!
I have a old box. Old wires, the outlet is hot, but the switch next to it is not! I have a ceiling light that blew out. How do I make the switch work again ? Trying to install a ceiling fan,
Can I make a pig tail and jump it over to the switch ?
What was the tork spects on this project and what type of tork screw driver you used for it Coach?
Thanks.
Great question! Each device is different! It is usually printed in the paperwork or on the device! Here is the screw driver I was using amzn.to/3ar7UNT and here is a much less expensive one amzn.to/3dxGxnr here is a video on it! ua-cam.com/video/lBCGAnGSf4Q/v-deo.html

Is there a way to add an outlet without running a new line. My breaker box is way too far
Depends if you have power in the box. He only has the switch connections.
There was a change in code where now the ‘norm’ is to have the hot and the neutral in the switch or receptacle. Then it’s easy to pigtail those to a new receptacle. If this is what you have, then you’re good to go. Wago nuts are really convenient for a DIYer.
U don't show how u wire the switch to the gfi
Great question, it's not a switch controlled receptacle so we don't wire the switch to the GFCI directly
@@electricianhub86 or maybe Damian was referring to making the switch gfci protected. waste of time IMHO. pain ass callbacks when gfi trips, takes bath light with it and home owner freaks
@@harveylong5878 We had a house we were selling that did that and the home inspector wrote it up. So the new buyers wanted it fixed not to kill the lights also.
You could of use a boroscope to see what’s inside
never repeat anything in this video?
