- I'm continuing the wiring of my metal garage. I am focusing on the light circuits in this first video and also explain some electrical basics to help you design individual circuits.
Brettley Built features projects involving welding, electrical, plumbing, carpentry and much more. My channel is dedicated to teaching you how to do tackle projects yourself and save money. My wife, daughter, and I live in western Pennsylvania on six acres. We enjoy being outdoors, making improvements to our property, and making things. We adore our four dogs and three cats. We hope you enjoy our videos and spend time with us as we build and create!

Very useful, thank you
You are a talented educator. Thank you.
Thanks for the videos, I have an unfinished garage Iv been thinking about running the electric myself for. If I could do a lot of it I’d save so much $$$
Awesome Job! Thank you for making the videos and showing and explaining all of the steps along the way.
Just awesome !
Thanks for this detailed tutorial. Is there a part 2 of this series?
This is how 120/110 volts was explained to me. The power company is required to provide a minimum, 110 volts to your home. To avoid a low voltage situation, they increase the amount of voltage you receive, so that when you turn on appliances at the same time, the voltage remains at no less than 110 volts, but not more than 120~ volts.
Enjoying your garage wiring videos. Before you started did you make a electrical drawing/sketch of your circuits to help determine just how many circuits you needed?
No. I just kind of knew what I was going to be running and planned in my head how many outlets to install and how many circuits I needed. My video on planning electrical circuits migt help you if you do need to draw things out.
Hi these videos are so helpful 👍🏽 may I ask how you know how much wire to buy/ have on hand. Like is there an equation for that?
Not really. If I know I have something like this building to wire I just buy a 250 foot roll of wire of 12-2 Romex and a 250 foot roll of 14-2 Romex. For the three way switch, I know my building is 30 feet long and the switch boxes are 4 feet off the floor. I knew I could buy a 50 foot roll of 14-3 wire and have enough to make it from box to box. If you are wiring a small shed or room in the basement, you could probably get away with buying 100 foot rolls or Romex, but I always have something going on and seem to be able to find uses for extra wire.
I was thinking the 250 just to be safe rather than sorry. Thank you for your help
Thanks for sharing, valuable info, starting my garage wiring soon! Building in this economy sucks haha
Yes it does!!!
They talk about it that way because that is what the standard used to be 110v but because they wanted increased capacity over the same wire they increased it
I especially like the shop build videos, I'm considering something similar for a cabin in MI. We'll have a shower and cooking going on so I'm thinking about moisture vapor control for spaces above the ceiling and behind the wall insulation. The inner side of the metal siding/roof could become a perfect condenser at high dew points. Are you thinking about a wall/ceiling vapor barrier? I've been looking at drywall paint primers that supposedly serve double duty as a vapor barrier (manufactured home builders often employ this method).
Example//"..Vapour Barrier. B-I-N has a "perm" rating of 0.4 perms. which means it is an exceptional vapor barrier. ("Perm" is a unit measuring the permeability of a film to moisture.) Sealing walls and ceiling with B-I-N keeps moisture vapour in the house, making it more comfortable in winter. It also keeps moisture from condensing on insulation in attics and between walls and from passing through walls.."
I will be putting spray foam on the ceiling to keep the condensation off from the ceiling joists and fiberglass insulation of the ceiling. The foam insulation won't be very thick as the thermal barrier will be in the framed ceiling. I am leaving the edges of the roof open so I have some air movement. I am using the Roxul insulation in the walls because it is moisture resistant and will put up plastic as a vapor barrier.
@@brettleybuilt Do you mean thin spray foam to the underside of the roof metal? The 'barn' company I spoke with offers a thin roof sheet underlayment that supposedly controls condensation. It's pretty thin material, I'm a skeptic.
@@terrylutke Yes. We were thinking about the sheet material as well, but unfortunately we have already had a leak in our roof and the closed cell insulation creates a waterproof surface. We certainly didn't want to get a leak and have that causing problems behind the sheet material and we didn't really have a lot of faith in it anyway.
@@brettleybuilt For the roof leak first check the ridge cover. It really needs sponge like foam rubber gap filler to fill in between the roof ribs. Lacking this, wind driven rain can be forced beneath the ridge cover and enter at the top roof metal gap. This cure would hurt your Xflow air movement, which could be addressed with gable vents.
Can you explain how you got the amps calculations again?
Watts = Amps × Volts
This formula can be rewritten as watts divided by volts equals amps: Watts/Volts = Amps.
For example, if I have a 1000 watt device, I can calculate approximately how much amperage it draw (not exact):
1000 Watts/120Volts = 8.3, or about 8 amps.
Do you have this project completely finished with sheetrock?
Unfortunately, no. I am getting ready to insulate.
As always, greatly appreciate your teaching and explanation for everything. Can we deduce the lumber situation to another “let’s go Brandon”?🤣🤣. And, I owe you a BIG thanks for nudging me to make the leap into the Ryobi lineup. So far the only complaint I have is my lack of funds to add to my collection of available add on tools. I have been happy and impressed with them so far. So, thank you for the great suggestion 🙏🏻. Very affordable option and seem to be built well.
Can u help me find a job in pa ?
What kind of work are you looking to do?
@@brettleybuilt I’m going to school for “ electrician “ certification and I would like to move forward towards it
Hopefully you are aware that per any recent NEC (All 125 volt rated receptacles in that building must be GFCI protected). Yes even the one you showed under the panel. The true answer to how many of anything you can put on circuits is to calculate the loads. Never add amps, always add VA. Also, if you are going to say something is per code, make sure you are correct. Example, there is no mounting height for switch or receptacle outlets. Best wishes, Kevin
You are incorrect. Please review NEC 210.52(G)(1): Garages. In each attached garage and in each detached garage with electric power, at least one receptacle outlet shall be installed in each vehicle bay and *not more than 1.7 m (5 ½ ft) above the floor.*
So there is a height restriction. I believe there is a minimum height as well but need to find it.
If you are going to say something is per code, make sure you are correct.
