Yes, please make a second video discussing what one should charge for rough in / trim out
Awesome tips - Thank You 🙏
Awesome vid , Coach. Thank you.
Nice 👍 I make up switch boxes and receptacles on rough in… in my jurisdiction we have to land grounds and neutrals only for rough in.. I’ll mark the outer sheathing and leave it on the hot conductors until final termination , of course this is all de energized.
Nice idea on taking pictures. My boss used to do that and always lost track of which job was which. I told him to take a shot of the mailbox # or the outside of the house before going inside. That helped quite a bit. You can also add sticky notes on the wall to identify which room or which direction the shots are. (front bedroom, north, south, etc) Just one per room or in any other confusing situation will do.
I insert cardboard in my interior panels and write the address or lot number on it in sharpie along with how many cans, etc. Then I start a video with that as a sort of thumbnail. when strolling through pictures I can see which house it is.
thanks coach on the tips

If you have a choice for rough in, do you prefer to start after all plumbing and hvac? Do you write that into your contracts?
I am an east Tenn electrician I do not pull a finish permit or service release permit under my license unless I do the work, and the inspector also knows . That way, you may not finish the house, but you are released from the ownership of liability of someone else's work. Always let the power provider know that you refuse to be liable, and demand that they record who pulls finish/ service release permit. It is a matter of public record, and be of great value to you in case of future problems. document all pertinent info! I also take photos, I have had outlets covered up!! Thats what drywallers do!
How do I deal with changes at the trim out
Great information, thank you.
I need help in repairing doublewide. PLEASE.
I been landing boxes behind the kitchen sink, mounted so front of the is 1.5" or so proud of the framing. Cabinet installer is forced to cut it in...
For the vanity wires you should manor an S shape loop, much more better
Why are You running 12awg for lights?
DIY question. For rough ins does the sheathing on the romex wires in the outlet boxes have to be trimmed to code or is it more common just to roll up romex and tuck in box. Yes, I'm getting inspected.
Skin it back and fold the wires back into the box. Make sure you leave your 6 inches
Yes , but leave enough skin to protect the wires entering the box , I’ve seen em short at at that point , especially going into a metal box using a Romeo connector
On the point of leaving wire in the wall for vanity lights, whats your solution when center of your cut in box ends up right on the plumbers pipe?
Cut it out of the way like they would? Man
How far is the cable supposed to be stapled away from the face of the stud so a drywall screw will not hit it?
1 1/4" or you have to use a nail plate
Was the 12 gage wire a bulk cost thing or do you use it as your practice? I wish when we did condos and houses years back-don’t laugh coach- that we had pictures like you were saying. Avoiding lots of finger pointing etc. great video 👍
I believe some states require you to use 12awg for most of the circuits
Yeah I believe too ahg
Unfortunately there are some inspectors in my area that will not pass a rough end if you do not have the vanity light in a box
We dealt with one of those and could not get him to understand the rationale for floating the wire so we had to box up to pass than remove the boxes before the drywall was installed
yes I have same issue. We install pancake boxes where the mirror is to be installed, once we get on site remove pancake box, install cut in box where vanity lights are to be then cover hole with mirror.
I will staple my wire (that is to be pulled out) to the FRONT of the stud so whoever is hanging drywall they have to remove it to hang board...I works about 90% of the time...LOL
No 15 amp circuits ?
If you look at the big picture on cost, it only saves a few bucks on a new construction job. Why bother? Yeah, certain appliances like a furnace only need 15 amps, but you can always downsize the breaker.
Might be the specs
Same question. Do you always run 20 amp circuits in all your home's?
Some municipalities where I am from do not let you use 14 gauge wire. He may be in one of these, NEC allows it and I use it whenever I can.
@@kevinthompson4690 Las Vegas residential use receptacles are all 20a and it does cost alot more...
🐾⚱️
must be hourly electricianz
Haha, you're in one of those silly jurisdictions that doesn't allow 14-2 I assume?
Plumbing Top Out: Failed! Not one mid-story guide anywhere.
