- In today's video, we are running high voltage wiring and installing junction, outlet boxes for outlets around my 30x30 dream shop build. I may have went overboard on the number of outlets but I know for a fact you can have too few. I think we are safe!
Installing outlets is incredibly easy and quick to do without drywall attached to the studs. I decided to mount them fairly high so when a bench is pushed against the wall they should set at bench height, nothing worse than having to crawl underneath a bench to plug something in!
The high voltage wiring isn't anything too crazy, just simple 240V. However, I am happy I am done running 10/3. It is incredibly stiff compared to the other gauge wire I was using and really tested my patience, plus it is expensive!
Here is a list of tools I used, or something similar, while running my electrical.
A multimeter is an essential tool for working with electricity to prevent accidently shocking yourself. In this video I was sure to check the breaker box for power before working on any of the wiring (Not Shown). I listed the Multimeter I use (Fluke) but I know this is expensive so I also listed a more budget friendly option.
I had previous complained about the push in connectors (Linked below) while wiring up my exterior lights. I had later tried using these and actually prefer them over normal wire nuts! very simple, easy to reuse and also easy to adjust the wire even after insertion. I like them so much that I will not being using normal wire nuts again. Give them a try! (Link: amzn.to/3HZSRtU)
