Wow. Am I impressed. You cover the fundamentals and do it very effectively. There’s lots of wiring videos out there but you stand above. What a pleasure to watch the experts.
I've seen that many times that people drill to many holes next to each other, I do drill on the beams but I separate them like 6" apart and right on center just enough for at least two wires p/hole, and just yesterday ive had to notch with out cutting to much drywall on a remodel home running new ungrounded circuts and switch legs coming from top, it is permitted to do so but you got to really know what you are doing though! I love ure videos keep up the good work...!
Question. When you say every blue box needs a hot, I'm assuming you mean a constant hot, what about in a single gang that is housing a 4way switch? In that situation i just have 2 3 wires being used as travelers. Thanks
Joel what’s the code adopted by your jurisdiction, or the one where you’re doing this job? Great video as always, the example with the LVL was very interesting. How holes should be spaces in joists and beams to maintain the structural integrity isn’t something that is readily obvious to a lot of folks. Thanks for being humble enough to share your experience.
Code doesn't speak to a set location from a floor. If it does, please identify the section. There is no switch for some outlets such as 30 amp and 50 amp outlets to water heaters, dryers, and EV chargers. Generally, great advice here, and this is a really good RUclips channel. Not an electrician here; I am much worse: attorney and Ph.D. in engineering. Hahaha! 😂 I hate pocket doors. Anyone else?
quick questions. Would there be a concern that the lights and the outlets for that room are all on the same circuit? Meaning a short in an outlet that trips the breaker also means that the room will be dark. Is this common practice? Or is it better to separate lighting and outlets on individual circuits?
There are multiple schools of thought in that regard: Is it better to trip a lighting circuit and lose most of the floor, or just lights in one room? Your choice!
I like the idea of consistency, but I personally never mix my receptacles with my lights for 2 reasons, one, if you blow a breaker from plugging something in you're not left in the dark, and also receptacles in my area require AFCI protection and its a waste to put lightning on that type of breaker

I agree 👍. With you on this one. Keeping your feeders. Low makes trouble shooting easyer
I am a Journeyman in Texas, most of my experience is in solar. I hope to work for someone like you one day that values attention to detail.
Great content, Thank you for sharing!

What’s the better way to drill multiple holes in the lvl at 3:14 ?

Afc. Is required for lights also
I just wish I didn't have walls sometimes. =( Or drywall I guess. Appreciate the video though!
