That's an awesome tip young man! Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you so much Jeanne! 🙏🏽😊
Bro, what a life saver. I have to subscribe.
I'm digging that outlet. If I need to do any outlet replacement they will be my go-to outlets.
Those outlets decora edge are amazing 👍🏽😊
Thanks so much for making this intuitive video... thought me a lot... 🙂
Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tips
Love how you explain everything!! T.Y.👍
Thank you Lee! 🙏🏽😊
Good demonstration video and explanation
Thank you Friend! 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
Everything about this fix is excellently explained and demonstrated. But this would be a little trickier with insulation commonly found in hollow walls.
That was my immediate thought, in the setting of newer homes or recently renovated homes.
the cavity between studs typically will have insulation and will not be this bare. Just for all to keep in mind.
Great tips, thank you 🙏
Thank you Salvador! 🙏🏽😊
Very nice
yo im about to wire my home w cat6 and im using this strat. good stuff bro.
How about write a warning on the drywall you cut out that there is a hidden cable behind drywall! Problem solved with a lot less work and aggravation.
In Somali and Spanish and Chinese, ect,ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect... for all the Doctors and scientists the hair sniffer Biden is allowing in? Plus water flooding?
Nice! Thx
No problem!
Is there any issue if I skip putting back the bottom drywall at all? The wires won't be exposed and bottom drywall is not visible at all anyway right? What are your thoughts?
Can you rewire while house that has many wires coming inside with this method of minimal wall destruction?
Hi, thank you for your great video. Would you please send the link for your flexible drill extension?
Thank you so much Daved! Here is the link for the flexible drill extension: amzn.to/3mRpvIf
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.
Thank you Vince! Im glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Nice tip mate . Not so easy if the wall is rammed full of class fibre insulation or rockwool ( sound proofing & heat insulation ) , a requirement in the uk .
Really depends on which wall it is in the US. If it is an exteriar wall then you will find all sorts of insulation material. The interior walls will be more empty but you can still come across all sorts of pipes and wires.
My walls are old plaster walls but are in really good condition. I am trying to rid of some of the old outlets and install new ones. How could I do this with old plaster walls if it's possible. Since the house is older some of the other outlets can be gone. I am tired of extention cords and electric power strips especially during the holidays. Any advice would help. Thank you
Hi Jacquelyn! I will have to create a mock up made of plaster to accomplish this tutorial. It will be made of lath and plaster, is that similar to yours? If you can send me a picture of the inside of the wall if possible that would be great! Here is my email: fixthishouse1@yahoo.com 🙏🏽👍🏽😊
Could you run in a piece of metal conduit.
Does the wire in the stud need a meta protection plate ?
Great video wirh your display
Thanks for this. Idea,, question is it necessary to use pigtails at the first outlet? Or is fine to connect straight to outlet powering second outlet. Thanks man
Hi! Either way works. It’s good to use pigtails just in case the outlet fails, the rest of the outlets down the same circuit connecting to that outlet doesn’t get affected.
@@FixThisHouse true, thanks! Love your videos👍 wallet doesnt
I think it’s smart to drill your holes up higher but at the same time trimmers use 2” nails so if you were to drill the center of the studs down low I don’t think it would be a problem
Nice idea. The only comment I've got is this. It's always best to hit studs with nails to hold the base back snug.
If the person doing this keeps track of the wire locations, it may be okay. Having said that, if someone else pulls the base and doesn't know there is a wire in that location, it may be a problem. Some of the newer air nailers can blow through p plates or kick and curl the nails. Nice video though! 😊
I’m pretty sure he knows that. He’s just explaining what can happen. Some may not know about the studs. This is for DIYers😉
How the electrical box is fixed to the drywall, because there seems to be no stud behind for the screws ?
Hi! It’s an old work j-box 👍🏽😊
The only problem is you would have to remove the trim to read that and the only time you're really going to hit the wire as if you hit it with a brad nailer which you wouldn't need to remove the trim to do that
Thanks for all the content it has helped me so much in my house that I just purchased
I’m glad I could be of help Brian! 🙏🏽😊
Why don't you just not put back the cut drywall ? So if someone put new baseboard they will see the cable running along the wall when removing the old baseboard
Or, leave some gaps. You need to fill in the gap so the baseboard can be nailed to the stude and stay upright.
You had me until the flex bit and putting your hand in the wall... Your hand clearly goes beyond the 2x4 stud, which in real life applications would be impossible due to insulation inside the wall (most of the time) and sheetrock on the other side of the wall.
Why would you be able to not fasten 12 inches from the box with this method. But fail inspection if a wire isn't secured when doing rough wiring
Code requirements as stated in the NEC
@@FixThisHouse I. Not I. No way discriminating not being fastened. I'm asking because I'm needing to do basically same thing. But in baseboards used as the chase. But didn't want it to be wrong.
Good luck for those of us with insulation in our interior walls!
Don't forget get about the sheetrock that would be on the other side of the wall at 5:25
😎🤙
Jay I ran across a situation today where a small radio kept blowing a breaker with it turned off. Could you maybe make a video explaining why?
Hey guys
Hi!
Wagos on an outlet is awesome
Why can't I just run the new wire within metal conduit? I cringed just looking at your wrist. I have a hard enough time just dealing with 12 guage wire, being a 71 year old woman.
Not an electrician, but that may be okay as long as you aren't using FMC, as nails/screws go right through it and it tends to move less than Romex, making the wires more likely to be damaged by a nail or screw.
To me, even EMT seems a little risky, so I'd use IDF to make sure it's protected. However, rigid metal conduit is going to use a lot of space, so might have to notch more than you're allowed. Plus still have the water issue if there is a flood or leak, so would also want to use wiring rated for wet environments, like THWN. Again, I'm not an electrician, so check with an electrician or inspector.
I'd rather cut out drywall, patch and paint than deal with all this though
🙄
😎
It's a great concept idea but that's been done for decades and the only reason that idea didn't take off well... There is a chance of electrical damage... So please everybody pay attention if he should ever replace those baseboards and someone installs new baseboards with finish nails they will impact and hit that electrical wire which will cost a shortage and hopefully does not create a fire... Keep this in mind and a real framing while there is insulation that is easy to catch fire.. that concept idea would not even pass through city codes... I know this because I'm a general contractor part of my license traded C10 which is for residential electrical... The other element most likely your house insurance will not cover any fire damage once is inspected how this wire was installed...
Hi! I’m assuming you didn’t watch the video. I placed the wire almost 9” off the floor. Those are very high baseboards 😅
It's legal behind baseboard area using minimum 1/16" steel protection plates as normal on studs. etc etc May not be best area but not off limits. Steel plate a bit heavier than 1/16" the entire length of cable better if someone must have baseboard outlets. They look better than on the walls imo. If outlets are on wall then stay on same line
