I appreciate you taking the time to show us your work and YES, I would actually enjoy watching you run your electrical and anything else you have to do to build your home. I am about to start the framing process in the Fall when it cools off some more and I get the garage cleaned out completely. My Son is coming into town in about 3 months to finish getting the junk he's stored inside it and then I will be ready to start framing it in and insulating it. I will also be dropping my own wires and will be writing what the wires are on the plugs, as well as on the wires themselves at the junction box so ensure safety and clarity as to what each one is. What you did was smart! I am also a subscriber of several electrician channels and I just recently discovered the NEC says that there has to be a 4' working space around a main breaker box to enable work to be done on it. So I have to reconfigure my design in the utility room area to accommodate that it is code compliant. I'm a new subscriber here, and am in north Texas and look forward to your further video's.
@@madebypapaw I totally understand. I have another channel which I've had 3 or 4 years where I tell true strange stories of things that have happened to me. I have more stories to tell than I have time or video equipment to record. 😅 But I really do enjoy your videos and how you explain everything. It's because of folks like you that make it possible for this old Grandma to build her own Garageominium, so I thank you!
@@craigslist8011 Yes I like doing putting two. As you said better for nailing, and I was taught to do that many moons ago. It has just stuck with me. I think the better nailer makes up for the small extra wood expense. Thanks for watching.
Some of those cables are stapled too close to the face of the stud. You are required by code to keep the wires 1-1/4" or further back from the face of the stud. Get the metal staples they are cheaper and you can fit multiple cables under one staple. Get some tie wraps as well because if you miss a cable somewhere you can tie wrap it next to existing staples. Above the panel you will want to install boards above the panel spanning the space to make it easier to strap all the cables coming down.

@@MoonbeamAcres Thank you for watching, I will put more videos up as I go. My channel is kinda all over the place. I have many interests.

I like that you did a double bottom plate on the walls. Much better for drywall and baseboard trim.

@@ianbelletti6241 Thank you, I forgot about the 1 1/4. It's a good idea for above panel. Thanks for watch and suggestions.
@@madebypapaw you're welcome. I'm glad my experience can help you.
