The outdoor outlet is not required if there is an installed outlet in an accessible location within 25 feet of the equipment and on the same level." NEC 210.63
yup, I pu in two new circuits for countertops, I alternated the receptacles
Thanks for the share. These are all very common violations. Codes are dependent on your local jurisdiction because the adoption of new codes is a vote from the board of inspectors. Always check with your local inspectors because a 2016 code may be used instead of a 2024 code.
Let the pros do it
Gotta love the DIYers that think 4 years of apprentice school and 8000 work hours are not necessary. I'm just glad they don't have DIYers building hospitals and schools. 120 volts still kills more people in the USA than any other voltage.
Glad to see y’all back we all missed you hope all is well
Thanks for the info and glad you are back. We missed everyone very much.
Where you guys been? Hopefully you’re back! Nice to see you and congratulations on passing your electrical inspection!
Hope everything is good and it’s just “life” that’s kept you away! I’m sure it was frustrating to fail but big milestone getting past the electrical inspection - must be feeling a sense of accomplishment. Congrats. Our countdown is on to full time next July! Rob
I’m so glad you finally uploaded!!! You’ve been gone for so long I’m glad your all okay tho❤️❤️
i am so happy to see all of you!!!! We have missed you!!! I can hardly believe how much Maverick has grown! Blessings, happy and safe travels on this new adventure!!!! Make some memories!!!!! : )
Good to see you guys back!
Good to see ya, hope all is well, family looks happy. Enjoy.
OMG Welcome back. We missed you man
Miss you guys, hope and praying all is well.
Miss watching you guys. You were the ones that inspired us to buy a dirt bike for our little girl. You inspired us on your travels and adventures. Wherever you guys are - Hope you guys are off enjoying your adventure and #makingmemories!
Thank you so much for sharing this information!!
Missed you guys SO much!!
So excited to see y’all again. The girls are getting so big! Miss y’all.
Super. I only use twelve gauge now, so I am very carefull about box loading, and you are lucky that you didn't need an engineers letter to cover the hole in the beam for the wiring. Good job and good luck. 💙 T.E.N.
Thank you ! Learning mistakes from you ❤😊
Miss you guys! Hope you’re well! 😊
I learned something. Thank you.
WELCOME BACK. MISSED YOU GUYS 👍 I hope the production in Hawaii went great 🤙
for folks contemplating doing it themselves, buy John Holt's book Understanding the NEC code. Preferably also buy the code.

I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago and I'm glad to see new posts again. we have girls about the same age as each other and my oldest loves the videos that have a lot of Goose in them :D
Laundry lights can be on with another circuit outside the room. I suggest calling a qualified electrician next time😎
In Australia we don't use wall boxes and don't clip cables within the walls.
Have missed y’all. I was wondering about y’all passing the electricity thing. Always a good idea to get some one who is certified electrician to help with that or it will cost you more in the long run!! :). Love y’all prayers that the house is finally on the roll to where you can get settled into it.
Well done. Hundreds of processes and only 6 issues, Good job.
Also make your outside outlets 20 amp ,Kitchen need lots or action ,Microwave ,Fridge ,Garbage despoil need to be dedicated 20 amp circuits .
They are gone.
MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! Have looked every week for you. Glad to see you again.
Miss seeing your vlogs. Hope all is well and that you'll be back soon? I think I speak for all your viewers when I say come back soon
Bro, just read the NEC and stop guessing
We failed ours (speaking of the metal construction) inititally because we drilled holes in our red iron columns to pass the MC Cable (detached garage) and the inspector asked if we had a letter from the building engineer saying it was okay.
The engineer later said it was 100% fine at the size/location we had the hole and issued a letter but this caused us to fail inspection.
Hey are y’all ok
Haven’t seen y’all in seems like forever
Hope everyone is ok
Love, hugs, and prayers
You come a long way since you've been in Tulsa Oklahoma escaping the tornado warnings while camping out at hard Rock Casino. Lol. I just seen that video today now I'm watching others. I live in Quapaw Oklahoma I lived all my life around here and I'm scared of tornadoes.
Miss you guys
miss you guys
Nice tips, happy you guys are back
Prolly should pick up a code book before doing everything yourself 😬
My little girl just asked about your family tonight. Hope you're all doing well!
They're ok, I guess, James has been busy editing a film apparently
Never cram elec boxes. i am a sparky. use deeper boxes when you can.
I am missing your videos. I love seeing the girls grow. How is the building going.
Will you have a new video soon?
Are you guys okay
Where have y'all been? Missing seeing your vids
I used to spray silicone on slides before closing. I think it was silicone
The breaker panel in the code now is you have to have 30 inches of clearance on either side. I put a sub panel in my garage and had to move it because it was on a short wall :/
I think it's 30" total. Panel being mounted somewhere within that 30" space.
@@SteveG__04236_ At least 30 inches of clearance on both sides of the electrical box - this is in the electrical code. So I guess it's up to us to determine what that means lol.
The idea is to have access on both sides of the panel to service it.
Hi from Spokane!!!!
Your allowed to leave your bathroom,with a 12 wire feeding another GFCI in another bathroom.
You need to give us a update it’s been 1 year man
Where are you all?? MIA as well!! Seems its going around!
I was wondering the same thing. I hope all is ok
Good ole homeowner permits. Dont hit those side by side wires with a sheetrock screw but good luck
Don't use WD40. WD stands for "water displacement." Yes it will stop the squeak for a bit but it will also accelerate the wear on the metals as it will ALSO displace whatever lubricant IS in there and dry it out. Use 3 in 1 oil or some other "oil" or a silicone lube. NO WD40.
Please come back 😢
where is the AC condenser disconnect?
Home depot
One year later. Thanks for leaving us in the dark
Not sure where you came up with a requirement for an outlet for an A/C condenser/ mini split. If not in sight of the breaker panel you need a 240 volt disconnect.
Corded Window or through wall Air conditioners require an outlet on the interior wall.
He was referring to the NEC required "service" outlet within a certain distance of all mechanical equipment such as furnaces and AC condensers. Yes, a disconnect is required for 240 equipment, but so is a service outlet.
Cables not cords
for the 2020 code you also need a grommet on the kitchen cabinet for the dishwasher
Thans for posting, Very practical!
Hey, when you coming back?? You ARE missed..
Ohhh, are you ok?
Where are you ?
Okay that was the simulated training run Jimbo !!! Now break it all down and do it for the sake of Operation Reality dude !!!
🙈🍔🍟🐿️🦄❤️😂😂😂
Are you coming back?
Bro you’re wrong about all kinds of things! I have never had an inspector tell me half the stuff they told you. Like the bathroom receptacle wire not allowed to leave the bathroom?!? I have two circuits I run, one for the master bath receptacles and the other for all the other bathrooms (normally 3 or more different bathrooms)! Same thing goes for the lights! Normally I will give power to the bathroom lights from the neighboring bedroom! I do pretty much the same thing for the laundry room! I put the lights on with something like the garage, hallway, half bath, etc… then the receptacles by themselves on one circuit and a dedicated circuit to the washer. Also you don’t need to have the breaker panel cover on until the power release phase which normally happens after sheetrock. The box the breaker panel comes in has a temp cardboard insert you put in the panel for a rough in inspection! 🤷🏻♂️ a lot of what you are talking about is common knowledge! Like your 3way switch, many others and I would only have 2 wires in that box! One 14-3 for the traveler and a 14-2 either being a switch leg or power coming in! I’m kind of curious on how much wire you used of 12-2 and 14-2 and how big the house is?
well you most likely dealing with a different AHJ than him.
i actually learned more from you faster than my master electrician
i live in a different region, and those are all different where i am
but.....they are all still very good practices and will include them in my work in the future
Hi
I know he didnt say he had to many cords?Good brother,these are Romex wires,not cords.
R u guys okay
It's been six
Months
very informative, ty.
James - worrying about you guys. Seemed to have disappeared a lot in recent months and not even many responses on comments. Everything ok? Rob
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
I like the old code for kitchens. A circuit for every two outlets.
many simple things could have been avoided if you had a trained electrician do work or show you right and wrong pay a real electrician to help next time also the money spent for real electrician advice is worth it and wires installed would be neatly stapled on studs not belined as done here , messy pulls make inspectors mad so they check wiring more than if done neatly
I was looking into building my own tiny home. Nope. Too many f*cking stupid rules would trip me out... I'd probably get angry at the inspector and do something stupid...
the breaker box cover is called a "deadfront"
Very informative.
Remember electrical is not a hobby
Sure it is
it can be
thanks for the 12min video ugh are ya sure y'all want to film anymore
What happened to you guys?
You didn't know you had to do them only because you've never looked at the electrical and building codes.
Don't ya love when ppl do their own work after you spent the years learning the trade and paying/studying for and passing the exam to be licensed?
Exactly. This video is making me sick.
You got to count your yoke too
You don't go by the number of wires in the box... you go by the cubic inches that the box has.. Each individual wire needs to be counted including and switch or outlet. Each 14awg wire is 2 cubic inches, 12awg is 2.25, etc.
Can't believe you didn't already know that....
they did the math for him, why would he bother?
in most cases the DIY people forget to leave space in the count for the actual device because that part is not printed inside the box.
Plastic boxes always have stamped inside the cubic inch volume and an easy guide to how many conductors per box
1 plus 1 equals 1?? Today's Code isn't there for your safety, rather a means of job security for those involved. "One of those simple little things" thought up by simple little people. Speaking of simple, why would anyone undertake such a project without checking on the requirements beforehand?? While some of your gigs were simple one error was totally overlooked. That being your method of running wire from point A to point B irrespective of the angle involved. A proper run is either horizontal or vertical!! Why should electricians of the future have to guess where you run your wire to suit yourself and/or save a dollar??
Surprised they approved that receptacle that close to a wash sink
There is no restriction in the NEC regarding a receptacle being too close to a sink. If it is within 6ft of a sink it must be GFCI protected.
You actually are REQUIRED one within 3 ft of sink bowl edge. GFI protected
Actually, the first failure you had, was buying property in a location with building codes 😂
I enjoy your channel immensely though. I have two little girls as well.
today i learned that americans cn throw 4+ 20A receptacles on a kitchen countertop circuit. have fun with the tripping in the morning.
either your state/county is crazy or the inspector was cause most of that is nonsense
That nonsense has been in the NEC code for decades, for everyone
Just hire a real electrician. 😂😂😂😂
You are wrong, grounds don't count as one.
They changed the rules in NEC 20
John Doe where is your code reference?
314.16 (b)(5) 2020 nec.
They count as one. And every ground over 4 grounds counts as .25
@Luke Steckler That is exactly right luke, stay smart.
Miss y'all. Hope all is well.
