Stud! Not stub. And good job
Came to the comments for this. 😂
it was funny tho
😂
Does anyone know where I can buy a good Stub Finder?
Thank you very nice video , you handled that with so much confidence! Wow full respect to you keep up the good work 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
Thank you
Great video! Thanks.
You're welcome!
Cool vid. Loved your mathematical approach.
Thank you!
I love that your a woman! Thank you 🙏🏼
Good job 👏👍
If there was NOT enough wire in this particular case, would you make a junction box in the original spot and add additional wire to the new location??
Yes
Stump, Stub? What? Good video even with that error...hehe
Yes, I am forever saying the wrong thing without even realizing it.
Mate at least she completed the job most man have no idea what to do
@@Semaj.18272 I know - I said it was a good video despite that..but still gotta get the basics right :)
Very helpful.
Also, I love your hair!
I'm so glad you found it helpful.
The way u drill through the stud excellent idea
Why did you make the first drilling in the stud so high, if it would have worked to do it lower (and closer) like you did for the second cable? Seems like the shortest distance would be the best? or was the source of the first Romex coming from above and you made the hypotenuse to save cable length?
Yes it was coming from above so I was looking for the shortest distance to make sure it would reach.
can i run my romex in front of the stud and use a mesh patch to patch over that spot? i don’t have the right tools to drill through a stud/don’t feel comfortable doing so
I don’t know what a Romex is. You can certainly use a mess patch to cover the hole.
No very dangerous for future home owners who don't know.
@@DebraCarmona You do a video on wiring but don't know what Romex is?
Absolutely not! The wire must be at least 1 1/4 inch away from the stud to prevent people from accidentally nailing into it when hanging pictures or attaching anything to the wall. If you don't know what you are doing, leave it to a professional.
"I think I use the...ground wire? And I slip it through that hole..." I LOVE YOUR FEARLESSNESS. I'm a new subbie. We'd be buds if you lived in Texas. :) Debating calling an electrician...thanks for the informative video.
LOL I have two very good friends in Texas. One of them is just like me. She can fix anything.
You skipped the most important step...drilling the hole through the stud.
Yeah, waited to see how she did it🤔
I did drill the hole through the stud with a long drill bit. Must be on a different video.
She did at 14:14
This was impressive work young lady.
Thanks and thanks again for calling me "young."
If you had just gone horizontal and added a outlet , you would have saved all the additional work, also you could have just left that outlet there and had two
Manuel Garcia yes, I suppose I could have if I went out and bought more wire. But I didn’t really want to keep the outlet because a bookshelf would be covering the old outlet.
@@DebraCarmona But, should you ever come to the point where you don't want the book shelf there and if you sell the house, you can just disconnect the additional wire to the new outlet and sheetrock over the new outlet like it was never there and be left with the original outlet on center of the wall. Also, there'd be no harm in overloading the circuit as, the outlet that you covered with the book shelf wouldn't be used. Or, if you wanted internal lighting on the book shelf, you could use that outlet to do so. Electric is fun. Oh, one more thing; you got lucky that you didn't have what's called "fire studs" or, short horizontal support studs in between your vertical studs. You'd then have to drill yet another hole to run the wires top to bottom or, diagonally in your case. A lot of extra work. I must concur with Manuel; just gang those two wires in the original outlet with a new wire. Pigtail to the original outlet and then run one wire from right to left the 3 feet through one stu(D). ;-) CHEERS!
Jeez, what would you have done if those wires were secured to the stud with those support staples that they usually use in residential settings where one is usually every 3 or 4 ft 🥴😬
I could feel that the wire was just hanging free within the space.
Debra Carmona yep, I gathered that much from the video lol. I was just saying in a situation where “the Romex was secured to the studs”. That would have been a nightmare
Ok, aha ! How did you passed the wire from one side of the stud to the other !! ?? 2- the outlet was a remodeling box, so cable was not fixed to stud.
I went through the stud after I drilled a hole. I used fishing poles to push/pull the wire through.

Should not be running cables in diagoal. Should be vertical and horizontal.
Iain Jarvie I did not know that. Thanks for sharing that.
When fishing wires through enclosed walls I'm pretty sure that's a non-issue.
@@DebraCarmona But you still made a video showing people how to do it wrong and make it dangerous.
Would she just have covered the old outlet with a cover and run the cables horizontal to the new box? Let’s cutting
Would have if they were long enough.
@@DebraCarmona ahh u didn’t have extra cable. Gotcha.
Stud not stub
Ha ha yes I know that but for some dumb reason I said the wrong thing. I knew someone would call me out on that.
Debra Carmona either way...thanks for the video. It was very informative.
Correction.. stud not stub.
Yea yeah I know. Everyone reminds me. I often say something different than what I mean. It is a flaw I have.
STUD NOT STUB
I know. I am notorious for saying something else when I mean one thing.
I admire your gumption, but this should not be labelled a "how to" video.
I believe she has the power to name this video “I did it without you” if she wants.
@@bugginout3169: What does power have to do with anything?
LOL
It is a stud not a stub
I know and cannot explain why that day I said stub???
Is it just me or did anyone else notice she kept calling it a stub instead of a Stud also where is the electrician relocating a box requires an electrician to so everything is up to code
The word is STUD...S...T...U...D! Not stub.
I know hense the title. I have no idea why I kept saying the wrong thing that day and didn't realize it at the time but I do tend to call giraffes zebras and zebras giraffes even though I clearly KNOW the difference between the two. It is a gaff in my brain or my tongue which I don't understand. I wish I were perfect like you and NEVER said anything wrong.
@@DebraCarmona I'm not perfect...like all of us...but in the world of accuracy I was attempting to help you...in case you were not aware of your error of "stub instead of stud."
@@sunking2001 Yes, I am aware hense my title and I was upset with myself for saying it wrong but didn't catch it until after editing the video. Plus everyone commenting reminds me.
Hard to take advice from you when you keep calling a stud a stub!!
Sorry. I have a bad habit of saying the wrong thing. Didn't even realize it until editing the video. We all can't be perfect.
