      I love your guys way of life! It’s amazing starting from dirt to now amazing home. Definitely got my itching to purchase some land for first plans. I’ve never built
      A house but I have flipped our first house and now remodeling our 2nd house now lol. Good luck in the rest of the projects.

    Awesome humor 😄 Don't forget to put GFCI any plugs around your sink. You can always Daisy chain to the same GFCI. Meaning your home run goes in to the GFCI on the line side and the load out to other receptacles in the kitchen. Except a dedicated circuit to the refrigerator and other outlets where you might use an oven or microwave.

    You will notice a big difference with your heat and cooling once the drywall is done. I did the same on my cabin and increased the heat retention from my wood stove and the single unit cooling worked so much better. Jeremy a mouse l jumped when a spider landed on my neck so even big guys get scared 😂😂 . You both are awesome 👍❤️🤗

    I saw a drywall knife ad on facebook that my wife got me for Christmas. It has a tape measure device attached to the knife. The night thing about this tool is if you have a piece say 9 inches wide you use the tape measure to measure the width of the void you are trying to cut and fit a piece into and you lock the tape measure . Then you take the tape measure and butt up the end of the tape measure against the edge of the drywall piece you want to cut from and guide the device down the drywall piece as the knife scores the drywall and it should fit perfectly in place

    I think what you guys are doing is very cool. The old farmhouse I grew up in was built in 1880....never had electric wiring. I was told it was wired in the 1930s, I grew up there in the 60s and 70s and it only had 1 outlet per room, a pull chain ceiling light in some rooms. So they had to install wiring in an old plaster and lathe building back in the 1930s. Wiring was run up to the attic for the 2nd floor, and single drops down to each room, again 1 outlet and maybe a ceiling light. Good work guys, love watching your progress!

    A suggestion Jeremy and Ashley, while you have the walls open, put an outside plug on both sides of the house. If you have one on the west wall, put one on the east wall, that way you do not have to run extension cords all the way around the house just to do a little electric required job on the side that has no plug. cheers.

  • @JDLarge
    @JDLarge 4 роки тому

    Hope your planning on at least installing a blank plate with an access to that cable splice. Never bury splices, cable, phone and especially electrical. Use a double gang blank on a mud ring for accessing that connection later and try to leave slack. Unless it’s a threaded connector splice that you can crank down on to tighten it, simple room vibration from the television itself or stereo speakers can cause the push together type to get loose. I know how crazy that sounds but believe me I’ve been on many service calls where that was the problem. (Loose connections) If you never need to touch them again then that’s a good thing, the blank plate can be covered with decor or a clock but having that access will save your sanity. I was in the electrical then cable industry long before then into two way data, so I’ve heard and seen many nightmares regarding wiring. Looking forward to seeing that room rocked!
    * wherever the cable goes through the studs you may want to put a plate over it. Then when you go to run a screw or bang in a nail to hang something and hit a plate you’ll know to stop and relocate... 😉✌🏼
