2 more mistakes.... 1. NEVER enclose the JB in a finished ceiling or wall. Must be accessible. 2. Be aware of box fill rules. Ratio of wire size, fasteners and quantity to Box Size. Play Safe.....

Thanks for adding these. I cover box fill more in my video on wiring junction boxes at ruclips.net/video/Sof5OXi0rWI/видео.html. And I made a specific point of saying unfinished areas in the video because junction boxes need to be accessible. Thanks for helping homeowners stay safe.
