Thanks! Great info. I didn’t know about nail plates. Great job too. FYI, rule of thumb, paper tape for premix (air dry) joint compound, mesh tape for quickset, as you did.
I had this exact situation when I did my kitchen. Same fix too. Glad I made the right choice because it was a head scratcher for sure.
Nice! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽😊
I have this exact situation and now I know how to fix it. Thank you.
I'd also notch a bit for the nail plates so the drywall can sit flush.
Thank You, I have just exactly that problem. Learned something!
I’m glad I could be of help Daniel! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
Very helpful video! Ran into this when i removed the soffet over my bathtub.
For future reference, make sure the wire sheathing is not making direct contact with the edge of the nail plate, as they have sharp edged, other than that awesome work.
Thank you Ryan for the advice! 🙏🏽😊👍🏽
Sounds like a good idea, but how would you do that in this situation?
Maybe notch a little deeper.
Electrical tape over edges that touch the wire would cut down on the sharpness
I'd suggest using a file on those sharp edges before installing the plates. Prepare them beforehand, so they're ready for use when needed.
I use a spade bit to notch out a small channel and clean up the sides with a multi tool.
Am I the only one who thought, just pull the unfinished sheet rock no cutting necessary... plus adds a better visual of what fixes are possible.
This video solved the issue i was having, thanks so much!
Very thoroughly explained. Good job!
Nice job. Simple and straightforward.
I save the weights in the bottom of vertical blinds before throwing them away. I use them when I have no nail plates available.
Awesome. I have to upgrade my electric service and know I'm going to run into surprises. Need 2 20A dedicated circuits in garage and in back room I use for mitre saw and my box is full. I know I have to get a permit and install a sub panel next to the main. If I don't have to upgrade my main panel I may be able to do it myself through self learning and poring over the NEC codes and ones from my area. Worst case I'll know what to buy and have everything ready for the electrician if I need to hire one.
That’s awesome Christopher! Yes having all materials ready will save cost and time for sure! I wish you well! If you don’t mind sharing the cost to install the sub panel would be great!
@@FixThisHouse will do. Maybe not next year but hopefully in 2024. The state of the economy has me concerned and I've idled most of my woodworking projects.
if you watch a few videos on electrical load calculation, you may find the panel is full of breakers, but not fully loaded, power wise. In that case you can get some split breakers and gain a few slots to add more circuits. If you don't have central AC, hot tub, well pump, or electric heat, you'd be amazed and what you can do with an existing 100 amp panel.
Honestly, adding a sub panel is not a DIY project. There are several ways to get hurt or killed doing that. I would get several quotes and then ask the electrician you like the most if there’s any part of it that you can do yourself to keep costs down. They will usually work with you
Here's something that may help you out. If there's parts of your house that don't need electricity, just switch the wires on that circuit breaker if you can't make room for a new breaker in your sub panel. If the power you need in the garage isn't a permanent need, just switch the wires out of a breaker.
I use the fiber tape try that next time it’s the best tape I found so far it blends perfect with the drywall when you send it down and you won’t see the tape at all or the shape of it after it’s finished and it bond’s perfectly vs the paper tape that I see a lot on properties that it comes loose after a period of time
Well explained video.
Thank you so much Mark! 🙏🏽😊
Hi! What's your first name? Thanks for the great video!
Had this situation recently when my handyman removed the soffits in my kitchen - he notched the wood a little, like you did, however he did not use nail plates. hmmm...
And how about reading that code - it would drive me to drink...and I don't drink ;)
The illustrations/diagrams are more my style.
Good video. I had this exact similar scenario
Awesome video..great teacher
Thank you so much Brett! 🙏🏽😊
@@FixThisHouse before oscillating tools i don't no how person would do the demonstration on running wires for ceiling fans
awesome!!! another informative video!!!
Thanks bro! 👍🏽😎
That was so helpful ty
Thank you so much Deborah for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊
That top nail plate is going to slowly slice thru that romex. Definitely a code violation.
Thanks great advice!
Thank you so much Joe! 🙏🏽😊
i like this channel.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏽😊
The work look so neat and easy, but I am thinking just get those tools (the special woodcutter etc) and materials (metal plates) would take days of work....:)
Thank you brother! Yes the oscillating tool is a must for multiple purpose work 👍🏽😊
A sharp chisel and a hammer would do the same job.
Simple: notch the studs, put wires in notch, and cover with metal guard. Simple.
It seems simple but make sure you are within code and structural limit areas 👍🏽😊
nice videos, may I ask what camera you are using while filming. thanks
Thank you! For most of my jobs were it gets dirty it’s the a6300 - amzn.to/3Upv6AZ
For my cleaner environments it’s he a7iii - amzn.to/3G5lw1R
Great video
Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much Alcides! Means a lot for your support! 🙏🏽😊
Bad ass job dude
I have this issue but with a laminated beam.. :(
❤
Nice ! ❤😊
Wow, I'm amazed at how many wood, electrical and plaster experts there are in the comments. I feel inadequate with only 40 years of experience. Guess I'll keep my comments to myself.😳
What if one of the sides is metal instead of wood
Yes, Wong, I’m very interested “on” the “residenshinol” code book 🙄
it's easy
I don't think that passes code in most places. Can't have wire touching a metal plate.
The proper way to do this is to disconnect the wire in the attic and drill the hole in the top plates and run the wire properly
Was the original routing up to code?
If so, I'd have mudded them in and called it good.
It wasnt.
Those nail plates wouldn't pass inspection. Electrical wires vibrate and over time will wear off when touching metal.
Common Sence.
Just helping those who don’t know sir 🙏🏽
Never use paper tape with hot mud. Never use mesh tape with pre mix mud.
👋👍
Thank you Drew!
Chain saw would cut it out much faster than the oscillator.
🤔
Funny, in production Home Building a few decades ago I saw many chainsaws being used by the plumbers. It came to an abrupt end when the Home Builder received huge framing repair bills due to the use of chainsaws. Lol.
Don't do this. Run a new wire properly.
Running it through a hole in the top plate is cleaner and safer.
That's not how a professional does it.
The notched part is fine but at the area next to it the NMC is still too close to the surface.
You should have drilled a 1/2" hole through the center of the top plates.
In the video I stated it’s this is for situations with fix wires
