    You make great videos. One note, Make sure to put ethernet in a different conduit 48-60 inches away from your main power lines to prevent interference. (unshielded is 60 inches)

    • @JeronimoStilton14
      @JeronimoStilton14 11 місяців тому

      Thats excessive, I’ve heard limited interference as close as 6” on unsheilded cat 6. I’d love to see something on why it would need to be that far if you have it. Is there a code or reference guide?

    Great video, Josh. Can't wait to view the whole video series. Can you provide a timeline for the build (including inspections) for each step of the build? Meaning - which part of the build must come first before the next: plumbing then framing, then electrical ,etc. Hope that makes sense. Thank you.

    • @TheExcellentLaborer
      @TheExcellentLaborer  Рік тому +2

      I see what you’re saying. If you follow along the videos in order, that is the steps in which he would do each process. For example, you would do foundation before framing, then you would do framing before electrical and plumbing, etc. I hope that helps! Thank you!

    Josh, interested in knowing how the stem wall dimensions were established to prevent cutting any CMUs?

      The 2015 UPC does not allow drilled and tapped “saddle” fittings in drain lines. A wye installed with a repair coupling would be permitted / better. The saddle will probably work if you have enough fiber in your diet. Great video though, thank you Josh.
