I used to feel like an absolutely useless mess when it came to home repair and improvement. Like, picture a soup sandwich holding a hammer. Thanks to hours and hours of your videos, I have the knowledge and confidence to do so much good work to an old house and garage I am inheriting. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these videos and for explaining everything in such great detail. I'm tremendously grateful.

Good video. The only thing I was change is use commercial grade receptacles. They are slightly easier to install and generally have heavier duty components for durability. Though, I understand why most builders use the lighter duty recepacles to reduce costs.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I could understand that. Thanks for your input!

That looks like a better version of the in use outlet cover I installed about a year ago.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I have used these now for a couple years and really liked them. They definitely work well!

[@Barracuda48082]

I've discovered, and suspected, that in colder climates (below 30°F ) the plastic versions tend to break if used often, like landscaping equipment, blowers, weed whips, edgers, requiring extensive dismantling to replace it. Plus flying critters usually nest up inside the cover when not in continuous accessed or activity around outlet . Love the finished look though. Now if these are made with unbreakable thermal plastics..I'm in. I could sell these dozen a week, installed. !

[@Chrissers2010]

Josh, you should look into the Arlington "IN BOX". It recesses the outlet into the wall with a nice flush cover, so you don't have to have the huge bubble sticking out of the wall.

Hello my friend I am watching from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳and I love Canadian and American infrastructure so much please make regular videos 😊😊😊😊

[@CAMCAM413]

Nice details on the installation.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thanks! I do try to put in a lot of detail whenever I make a video. Thanks for noticing. Stay tuned for more videos to come!

Do you have a link to the sifing video? It did not show up on the screen. Looking forward to all these videos, I am doing a big outdoor kitchen right now and running power and lighting to a shed

[@joeaguirre3069]

Great video and very informative. What make and model impact driver are you using in the video?

[@joewenzel5142]

Those outdoor covers have come a long way. My house just has those spring loaded covers from back in the day.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Oh yeah, you don’t see this much anymore!

[@attem2902]

do those gloves help prevent from getting shoked by electricity?

[@letitbe2288]

Do you install it in Jacksonville TX?

[@martinphillips7221]

where can you get the siding trim out box kit

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I got that from Certainteed. Hope that helps!

[@trdjody]

Why didn't you use a GFCI?

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

The breaker is GFCI. The whole circuit is protected as a ground fault. I hope that helps!

6:50pm I watch these videos too learn how to do something. It is very hard to follow when your going in fast forward. Imagine playing an album made for 33.3 on 78.

[@Austin-fc5gs]

You can set the video speed to .5 or .25

[@thomaswayneward]

Those covers are junk and break quickly, and do not keep the water out.

[@meanderinoranges]

And bugs love to nest in them. Yay black widows and wasps. 🤦

[@teresahoye6477]

I was hoping to learn something, but with you hpyer speeding the video up, i didn't learn anything.
