Guy posts video doing exactly what the customer asks for.
Chat: Don't do that :D
Thank you for your feedback!
Why would he want the cable to run up the brick? Was there a reason he didn't want you to cut the wall? Perhaps because he would have to hire someone to repair it?
Yes, he didn't want to go through any drywall repair. Cutting access panels in drywall is often an option, but the homeowner doesn't always want to go that route. However in this case, the attic didn't really extend over the portion of the room where the customer wanted the cable at.
Faceplate not straight, black clips on white cable looks terrible, and considering its white i'd say its not exterior grade either
Agree. Not a needed option if just for a TV or streaming device wifi should be good enough. Especially only having the exterior option on brick.
@@leechambers8195 LMAO
@@leechambers8195 the cable run is also not straight, it really hurts to see it 🙈
Great house cleaning idea👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for you feedback
@@PureMediaSystems yes sir, I’m always learning new ideas. I do have a question. You run a wire thru the attic into the main controller box. Did you get up there.? I’m not sure what happens after you run the wire to the ceiling
Thanks for the video =)
Thank you for watching!
What do you call that tool that aligns the center from the interior to the exterior wall
Hi, the tool that we use for this is called the Magnespot (magnepull.com/magnespot). We use both the Magnespot and Magnepull products very frequently in our installs to ensure proper placement and easier cable pull. Work smarter, not harder!
Thank you .
You're welcome
Informative, thanks!

Why not run the cable inside the nearest interior wall behind the baseboard or carpet tug it to the desired location
There are doors and hallways separating this wall from an interior wall. As mentioned during the video, there are certainly other ways of running the cable. This method is what the homeowner chose. It is also the least invasive. Any other option would require significant amount more cost and "surgery" to the home that would need to be repaired..
No wiremold or similar raceway on the face of the brick?
Hi Epic. No, a raceway like that is bigger than the cable itself, won't hold to the brick, and will collect water and other grime. Given the situation, and the customer's wishes, this is the best way to complete the job.
yeah this is a nope for me. I would of gone straight through the brick, or at least try to tuck behind the door trim panels... or for the more creative... drill out the mortar and use the lines as a path for your cable and then reseal it afterwards.
As stated in the video, there are certainly other ways to accomplish this, however this is how the homeowner chose to have the project completed.
45Lotos I did new construction electrical work for a year in the early 80s so my knowledge/experience is limited and I’ve forgotten much. However, I would’ve simply drilled directly through exterior wall. No visible wires anywhere. Tidy and quick? Hmm?
J Mc, if this was a pre-wire for new construction this process would not have been necessary. This install was retro in a 40+ year old home. As stated in the video and in previous comments, there was no accessible attic above this wall, and going through the interior wall without exposed cable would have involved access holes inside which would have required repair. The homeowner did not want to repair drywall and opted for the method featured in this video.
@@jmc4181 I would think so but I’m no contractor. As the video poster said it was a customer demand so they get what they get.
Pure Media Systems yes I dig that it was customers demand. But for your reputation I wouldn’t have made a video of a poor way to do a job. Or I would’ve made it clear that “Hey folks, this isn’t the best way to do this but I’m doing what the customer asked.” Then I would’ve explained the best way to do it. Just so you don’t look bad. But thx for the honest explanation. I’m having a bad time myself right now trying to figure a way to run power out of my concrete walls for a security light where there’s no attic access. If I were in Dallas I’d give you a call but I’m in Fl🤷♂️
What’s the Best method to install in a mobile home no attic , only crawlspace but it’s all insulated.
Is really hard to say without seeing particular situation. I recommend consulting a professional in your area
Honestly, I would’ve shot over to the left where the vinyl is, then came across the top of the door frame, then down the door frame to make the cable less visible.
Thank you for your feedback. As stated in the video, this is how the customer wanted the cable ran in this situation.
This is great!
Thank you for your feedback!
Hello mate where did you buy magnet spot finder tool? Thanks
You can get a lot of tools like this at www.techtoolsupply.com
Interesting video...but with other less obtrusive options, exterior wire exposure would not be a consideration for my home.
Thank you for your feedback. As covered at the beginning of the video, yes, there are other options to accomplish this. However, this the solution that the customer chose to do.
Nice work, but hideous installation.
Thank you for your comment
I did not hear the specs on the cable, was it CAT5/CAT5E or CAT 6 and was it outdoor rated cable or regular indoor cable?
Hi Jim, the cable in this video is CAT6. There is no need for plenum or burial rated cable in this situation.
@@PureMediaSystems There is a need for an outdoor rated cable
how about the UV resistance? Also, if I were installing cable in a client's home you can bet it would be plenum rated. I'm not getting sued. Ever hear of raceway - much more attractive than a wire running down the wall. Also why did you run down the door side and not the window side?
This is brilliant! Cool video.
Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated!
Show me your cable's Eddie!
How did you get the cable to the rack?
Using fiber rods and magnets we were able to retrieve the cable from above the covered porch. From there we ran the cable through the attic down to the rack location.
@@PureMediaSystems Got you. How do you 2-story house, I reject a lot of coaxial jobs becasue customer wants to run cable from attic through second floor to first floor,,,could you do a video on it?
@@qasion We will definitely record a video the next time we have a job like that.
I was told it's not safe to drill holes in the mortar. It's it OK if I'm not drilling all the way through?
If you are drilling small holes like we did here it should be fine. This is very common practice. We also fill the hole with silicone so that the hole is not left open.
That looks horrible. I understand not having much to work with, but running it along the corners and down the window edge would have been better. At least the only visible cable running along open brick would have been down low and more out of sight.
Thank you for your feedback. As previously mentioned, this is how the customer wanted the cable run. There is no issue with either way, other than going along the window gives the cable more exposure to the sun and other elements.
@@PureMediaSystems Use external shielded cable.
Hi, Please let me know How I can drill through brick wall to run couple of cables (20mm diameter) using DeWalt Combi cordless drill (not with rotary hammer drill).. ? What type of drill bit to buy? Thanks
We use masonry drill bits. You can find them at any hardware store. I will include a link below for an example set. They come in all difference sizes for most any application. That being said, it is certainly possible without a hammer drill, however it will take longer and more effort. I hope this helps!

Tools you use tell me
What tools are you interested in?
No drip loop?
ah man I would much rather have a conduit pipe instead of a cable clamped on the brick.
Thank you for your feedback, a conduit is certainly an option. That being said, conduit is much larger and still has to be clamped down to the brick making it more visible than a single cable.
Additional $$$$ out of the budget as well!
Can I run an Ethernet cable outside my house straight from my modem to my computer in the loft?
You can run a cable directly from your router to a computer, yes.
How much was the charge for this job?

Why not run the cable inside the wall and up into the attic instead of along the outside wall?
As stated in the video, the attic didn't extend over the portion of the room where the customer wanted the cable at. I explained the options in the video, but the customer didn't want to go through any drywall repair. Cutting access panels in drywall is often an option, but the homeowner doesn't always want to go that route. The method in this video is what the customer chose.
Just for beauty, I think I would have added a raceway to match the color of the trim. Don't think it look very good. You may be a great electrician and/or the homeowner didn't want to spend any money but it looks like a rookie job?
Thank you for your feedback. A raceway is actually going to be far more visible than a single cable, which can also be painted to color match. Raceways are larger, more difficult to secure to the brick, and will retain moisture, insects, etc. that are not an issue with a single cable. As was stated in the first 40 seconds of the video, this location was not accessible in the attic without cutting access panels in the drywall. The customer didn't want to go through any drywall repair. Cutting access panels in drywall is often an option, but the homeowner doesn't always want to go that route. In this case, the attic didn't really extend over the portion of the room where the customer wanted the cable at. We reviewed several options with the customer and this is how the customer chose to have the cable run. This is also off of a rear patio with no traffic so this is not really seen.
Why not run wire inside the dry wall, with a magnetic wire puller? Much neater.
I’d been pissed if I came home and a contractor had sun wire down my front door.

What a horrible solution. This is a clear situation where the client doesn't know what he wants.
Thank you for your comment
black clips dude. strange way to run a cable down the wall, untidy
Thank you for your feedback
I couldn't deal with the cable running outside, hate that look.
As was said in the video, this method was the customer's preference. You could choose any of the methods mentioned at the beginning of the video.
Sloppy job on that wire run 💯
Your feedback is noted
Terrible workmanship!
Thank you for your comment
The outside cable isn't even straight down the wall. It looks bad. And did the home owner also ask for the box to be crooked? I won't be hiring you to run cable in my house.
The cable follows the mortar line. The new wall plate is straight, the original electric outlet was crooked and not able to be straightened.
Man, that job on the outside wall is terrible
Your feedback is noted.
Man that exposed cable looks like the damn human centipede :/
Your feedback is noted.
That is one ugly csble run!

Trash work...

Box is all crooked, outside cable is not even straight down the wall, not to mention the black clips! Are you being funny, seriously advertising that as a prof quality job?
