Thanks for the update Matt, it’s getting there one little project at a time, what you gonna do when you get the castle finished and wake up in the morning with nothing to do.🙄😏😉😂
Matt, doing electrical is just creating a useful path for those over priced electrons from the power company! You did good on the room for lighting. I like the idea of completely removing the old stairs.
Great idea…..load them with rolls of coins for a time when everyone has gone to full cyber currency and they will be collectors items. 😮 buried treasure in a castle….what fun!
Good morning everyone!!!! 🌞🌞 Matt, I think you would be better to have at least one but I believe both outlets would be better. Guests will need to charge things. Great view as always!!!! 👍❤️📹😃
Move the shackle to the center of the beam before installing the chandelier. I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Enjoying your progress.
It's amazing how Matt manages to figure out how to fix the fubar work done in the past. Obviously the guy who built the Castle/Lighthouse considered safety last a good motto. I almost forgot to hit like but did at the last second. Every episode of the Castle/Lighthouse restoration is absolutely entertaining.
Run a base board around, the room. then u could use the base board to hide conduct and place the outlets just above the base board and everything will be hidden
Excellent idea Larry. Today multiple outlets are necessary to charge all the electronics we now rely on. If 2 individuals are sleeping in that room your talking 2 phones, tablets and/or laptops. One outlet won't be enough evening it's one individual sleeping in it.
Matt, if at all possible, for that 'looped switch', I'd suggest running the Black as the hot power and the White as "Switched Hot" with the black tape markers.
I know it's more work. The chandelier should be centered on beam and on its own switch. Add 3 more "mood lights" to go around the room off the switch you just put in. And everybody needs outlets to charge electronics and such. What I have done in the past is screw a 2X4 to the wall, get some 1X4 pine, box it in, run your power up through the floor in the cavity. HIt it with a blowtorch and seal with oil Varathane, NOT the new water based clear coat!!!!! The old Varathane brings out the yellow and natural grain to look like it belongs in a castle. And, those outdoor lights are >$20 if you want to keep the same style.
@nyamillennial yes. I like to shake some silica sand on steps while it's wet, so you get good grip on final coat. I think they make a special product for floors and steps. Good luck and good job!
Matt: National Electrical Code (which has been adopted by all states) in article 210.52(A)1 states: "Spacing. Receptacles shall be installed such that no point measured horizontally along the floor line in any wall space is more than 1.8 m (6 ft) from a receptacle outlet." 210.52(A)2 defines wall spaces
Why not put some stones in the cavities where the stair wood and C channel were pulled out? Trying to fill areas that big you obviously aren't using grout!
Have you given any thoughts to buying the slim white roll of plug-in stuff it rolls out in diff lengths bud,just an idea for plug-ins in tht wall where there is none
I have commented before about the electrical work being done is concerning to me. You've stated before this project was "grandfathered in". I assume that to mean the building inspector decided you did not have to bring the existing building up to code. However, new work does have to be up to code in any area with an adopted electrical code. I am not going to point out everything I see and how you should do each thing you are doing. I still believe you need a licensed electrician looking at your work at the least. Me criticizing what I see every day takes away any enjoyment I get watching your videos. Good luck with your project.
@@nyamillennial Hey Matt, thanks for your response. I like to watch these type of tough remodel projects like yours because I have been through practically anything you may encounter. Let me explain a little more about what I mean. Until a few years ago, I owned my contracting company which I sold my company due to health reasons. I am a licensed Master Electrician, a Master's License for Plumbing and Gas, a State Licensed HVAC contractor and a State Board of Contractors Remodeler. I watch your show to see how you deal with issues but I don't like to read a lot of criticism in the comments because I know how hard it is. I have tried not to be too critical but yet offer a mild suggestion as to what I see. I really don't want to advise people directly online what they should do unless I can actually see a job and take it in as a whole. Over the years I have done many homes built in the early 1900's and they have their challenges. My specialty, as far as remodels, was antebellum homes. These were homes built before the Civil War that new couples with the income to afford the upgrades necessary for modern life bought from the older families. The catch was while we updated these homes it had to be done so they would not lose their standing on the National Historic Registry and keep them on historical tours. One of those that reminds me of your project was a Greek Revival style home built in the 1850's. This was in 1992. The house was two floors with 15' ceilings on both floors. It was built with solid brick with plaster covering. The walls were 18" thick solid brick around the exterior walls and two walls forming the parlor on each floor with the grand stairway. There were some framed walls dividing some of the rooms. Solid walls present a lot of challenges for upgrading utilities and comfort items. So I don't mean to be critical so please don't take it as such. Good luck with your project and I'll continue to enjoy.
I've heard that a certain captain owns a big stock of limestone. Maybe he can supply you with some blocks to patch the holes.. i think you know that guy😅
Matt, I hate to be a party pooper but I kind of wish you would have put all your time, money and effort into your family home that you did a walk around on a while back instead of the castle. I do applaud the tremendous amount of work you've done at the castle though.

11:20 The suspense is killing me! 🤣🤣 11:50 😮😮🤔🤔 Well, At least the lower lights work, but the theory for the ceiling lights just proved to be more difficult. 13:00 Success! I wonder how much an electrician would've charged to get the entire castle properly wired so everything works the way it is supposed to. 😱😱
Your electrical wire colours are confusing non-usa people.... I have brown or red as the active or live, blue as neutral and green as earth. If in doubt TEST....!
@@LightWalker315I hope that doesn’t ruin your night or hurt your brain too much. Personally, I like it because it helps to identify the person writing as Canadian, British, Australian, or from a number of English speaking countries besides the US….
Oh come on shocking yourself would have increased your views 😮 and been rather enlightening for you 😂 and entertaining for us . IDK why you're afraid of 110 it's not like sticking your hand inside of a transformer 😮 . By the way don't do that ever don't ask how I know. 😮
If I saw you pointing up to retrace the wiring route one more time, I would puke, so fast forward worthy. Make Lucas wear shirts with sides, I'm thinking corrosive pits.
It’s great to watch someone who knows exactly how to do things properly,but ….i came on your channel by mistake ,get some professionals in at to check your services ,,in my country you would be done for manslaughter if your electrical work killed someone ,apart from living with that for the rest of your life
Thanks for the update Matt, it’s getting there one little project at a time, what you gonna do when you get the castle finished and wake up in the morning with nothing to do.🙄😏😉😂
Not sure yet😂
Matt, doing electrical is just creating a useful path for those over priced electrons from the power company!
You did good on the room for lighting.
I like the idea of completely removing the old stairs.
Great point! Thank you
When you fill the pockets left from removing the c channel, make one of them a time capsule.
Great idea…..load them with rolls of coins for a time when everyone has gone to full cyber currency and they will be collectors items. 😮 buried treasure in a castle….what fun!
I was thinking bones 😂😂😂
Great idea how to make a box fit in the block wall and hide it. The castle is looking better every day, Matt.
Thank you
Another good video update bro, that river view never gets old. Safe travels. Ken.
You got that right! Thank you
Good morning everyone!!!! 🌞🌞 Matt, I think you would be better to have at least one but I believe both outlets would be better. Guests will need to charge things. Great view as always!!!! 👍❤️📹😃
I agree!!
Thank you for the view of the river at the intro and the ending of each video. Makes my day!
No problem.
You should put fan motors on those boat propellers for a unique looking ceiling fan.
Maybe one day
Makin' good progress, Matt.
We are for sure
Move the shackle to the center of the beam before installing the chandelier. I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Enjoying your progress.
Thank you!

As a kid I was told that bend is one of the widest points on the ohio
It sure is!

Running baseboard in a rock jagged circle 🤔
Matt, if at all possible, for that 'looped switch', I'd suggest running the Black as the hot power and the White as "Switched Hot" with the black tape markers.
Thank you
Thx Matt for the Edumacation ,Electric a shocking story
Very shocking story 😂
Great job great video thanks Matt
Glad you enjoyed it
That view, still fantastic buddy.
It sure is thank you
You should put red and green (or port and starboard) lights on the back of the boat
Or at least another light on the right. Perception
Maybe one day.
Hi Matt & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Matt & Friends Randy
Thank you Randy
You can use a stack switch then you would have a switch for your chandelier and one for the wall
With only having 1 wire???
Thank you for wearing a mask!!! ❤
No problem 😊
It’s crazy how many times I’ve been down the Ohio and seen your house…but never seen the view of the river from your house..lol
Pretty wild isn’t it
I also hate working with electricity, but will do the basics. Castle is coming along nicely.
Thank you
I know it's more work.
The chandelier should be centered on beam and on its own switch.
Add 3 more "mood lights" to go around the room off the switch you just put in.
And everybody needs outlets to charge electronics and such.

Thank you! I was gonna clear coat. Will varsthsne work on steps too? I plan to burn and clear pine steps.
@nyamillennial yes. I like to shake some silica sand on steps while it's wet, so you get good grip on final coat. I think they make a special product for floors and steps. Good luck and good job!

Agreed
2:32 don't we all brother...don't we all
Exactly
Matt, you can buy floor boxes and put outlets in the floor all around the room. I assume you still have access from below.
I hate them but yes I could
I’m in the camp of if don’t spark, smoke or trip the breaker it’s good enough for me.
🤣😂🤣😂 me too.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼
Awesome
Why not put some stones in the cavities where the stair wood and C channel were pulled out? Trying to fill areas that big you obviously aren't using grout!
Might just leave them open
Have you given any thoughts to buying the slim white roll of plug-in stuff it rolls out in diff lengths bud,just an idea for plug-ins in tht wall where there is none
What if you came up from below for outlets??😊
Thank you for the idea
Code says you have to have a Nuetral in that switch box .

I hear the same thing. I too have a decent stack. But honestly thinking leaving the holes tell an amazing story also. Conundrums….
Please say you are taking the boat parts down in the room that you worked in.
Nope. They are too cool
You need a voltage tester Matt
I have one but broke the lead on it 🤦🏻♂️
Will your code allow floor mounted outlets instead of wall mounted ? Or is this room going to be dining area ?
Yes I just hate them
Only look at this for the river views; the rest is just stuff i have done.
Ok
Matt, I hate to be a party pooper but I kind of wish you would have put all your time, money and effort into your family home that you did a walk around on a while back instead of the castle. I do applaud the tremendous amount of work you've done at the castle though.
My home is overhead my castle can be profit. Gotta have profit to spend on overhead.

Doesn’t make any difference on a single pole switch. It’s only a toggle switch.
