It must be so nice to wake up and think, "Today I feel like running some electrical!"
Good Afternoon
Kingston, Jamaica 🇯🇲
😁😊😀
I ENJOY WATCHING YOU WORK. YOU'RE SO NEAT AND ORGANIZED.
WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?
What a great thing to see pop up after getting off work!
From one #unlicensed electrician to the next...
#GoodJob!!
😁😂😊😀
This would be illegal here in Australia. Makes so much more sense to be able to do it yourself with an inspection to ensure it's safe. Really enjoying your bathroom reno.
Inspection mean nothing
So this is no permit not even homeowner permit
Good video.
Thank you
I am so excited once the wirering is done we will get to the good stuff!!! Thank You for sharing!
Yay!!! You're back! I was starting to worry. ❤️❤️🤗👍
Thanks Fixer! Always enjoy your interesting videos. Fun to follow along!
Great clean work
Nicely done, can't wait to see what's next!
Pretty cool to watch the process.
- VERY, VERY nice job ! ! ! Luv the shower tiles. Every feature of the renovation shows meticulous carpentry skills. Thanx 4 sharing.
Looks good so far!
Coming along great!
Mr. Fixer, you sure are a multi-talented man! I'm really enjoying every part of this bathroom makeover. 👍
looking good!
You should put the toilet where the sink is and sink where the toilet is near door. Makes more sense! At least I think. Btw just found you channel really enjoying it so far!
*Now seeing where you are going to place new sink...ok I understand.
**And now that I'm trying to catch up on your videos...I see I have seen your time lapse videos before! Ahhh yes! 🤔🤔🤔 I really like your vids and how clean and organized you are! You've got me subscribed now!
Love the channel bro, great videos
The Fixer 👍
I just realized what is missing--the wandering beer! 😜
Ahh yes can't wait to see what happens in this one
I'm way behind on your videos and I'm back to get caught up. It's been way too long. Really enjoyed this video and learned a few things, as usual.
Yes...been waiting for the next episode each day lol. Hopefully you are well. Also, you might need a electrician to reorganize the wires going to your wires lol
Haha you might be right 🤣 thanks for watching, Martin!
I love your vids, dude.
Happy to hear that! I hope they help or at least can provide some entertainment!
I noticed at timestamp 11:49 that the already existing wires to the bathroom lights isn't already fished through the wall studs and I'm just wondering how you get them to? Or is the new box that you just wired in, on that right side wall, as you're walking into the bathroom, replacing the old light switch? I hope that made sense!
You're doing a fantastic job there!!
8:00 min mark - spider, above left of your head, WATCH OUT!
One question, how did you start with one electric wire from bottom & after the first blue box there are Two wires?
In Germany we called it: Laie :)
As always learned something new. I was wondering how you were going to get that hole through those boards. I never knew there were extensions for drill bits. How clever! Another gift idea for my hubby. His birthday is coming up. Where can I buy extensions like that? By the way, none of us went to the hospital. Covid is horrible, please be safe and thankfully we aren't having long term side effects. Whomever said it's like the flu is full of sh#$! lol.
Hey Peach! Yes, COVID is terrible. The paddle drill bit I used has the same end as a normal screw bit so you could use a normal bit holder extension like this... amzn.to/2Ygl2PE
That is an affiliate link by the way... I have to tell you that and the only reason I made it an affiliate link was because it shortens the link. 😁. Thanks for watching!!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Thank you! I didn't get the notification, so I checked to see if you answered. Y'all take care.
🤙🏾🤗
Great content! Any reason you couldn’t have brought the hot line in to the switch box then branch everything from the junction box? I think that would have saved some of that precious 12/2.
That might be a possibility but with my limited knowledge of wiring I took the most straight forward approach. Thanks for watching as always, Mike!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair not critiquing, I’m no pro :). Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see the finished work
Hmmm. Would a floating countertop be possible??
Hmm that might be cool. I’m sure I could make it work but we want the storage of the vanity. Thanks for the comment and for watching!!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair they do have them with cabinets !
Are you using different staples when you staple the wires to the wood? Like are there different kinds of staples for wiring?
I’m just curious because I’ve seen in other reno videos where an electrician say that the staples shouldn’t make the wire sit flush to the wood because it can cause an overheating issue and is a fire hazard. There should be enough room between the staple, wire and wall for the wires to be able to move around but still be secured neatly.
Hi, Nicole! I have never heard of that... I know that you shouldn't hammer the staples so tight that it ends up crushing the wire insulation... maybe that is what they were talking about. I just use regular wire staples that have a small plastic protector sleeve on them. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hello.
I’m having trouble picturing the vanity outlet location not being in the way once it’s all finished up. Won’t the outlet cover not fit if it’s that close to edge of vanity?
I’m really enjoying this series by the way! Keep em coming!
Hey Nathan! Thanks! The vanity only comes up about 32 inches I believe so I will have plenty of room. I appreciate you following along!!!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair My bad... I went back and re-watched part of it. I was thinking you were putting the box to the right side of the vanity for some reason... now I see it will be above it. Makes sense now. Sorry! :)
Know enough about electrical wiring to #DIY
**Not inside the panel/breaker box
It is very unusual that the earth wire is not insulated in America. This could lead to a short circuit. In Europe, this wire is usually insulated like everyone else.
We leave it uninsulated so that way if a short we’re to occur within the sheeting of the wire, the closest path the current would flow to is the bare copper ground. That would travel back to the ground bus bar and overload the hot wire causing the breaker to trip.
Привет дружище 🖐️👍🤗👍👍👍👍
This might be a stupid question, but....I lived in a house that would get pinhole leaks (or worse) in copper piping. If you have a leak right in front of your electrical box couldn't it really cause a problem?
Yes the pipes around my panel are definitely not up to code but it is “existing“. I may try to move them in the future.
While home wiring doesn't present any problem to me, including the panel, I wouldn't trust most people to do much more than replace a light switch. And I have to include at least one supposedly licensed electrician in that assessment as I had to go fix all his mistakes when my wife and I sold her first home. When she bought the place it was when her dad had just retired and it was his first attempt at a remodel for the completely unfinished basement. Contractor was OK with the drywall, and the plumbing wasn't a disaster (the shower insert had "problems" that it shouldn't have), but I reworked the electrical panel as soon as I saw it, then I hired a pro to redo the gas line as it was off vertical by about 15 degrees and came out of the wall for 3 feet before going into the downstairs ceiling. While I was at it I replaced every outlet and switch in the house as the ones upstairs were all from 1941 and the ones downstairs had been installed by an incompetent.
3-Way switches wired wrong at stairs
Ground fault interrupts wired wrong in kitchen and both bathrooms
Ground not connected to half the downstairs outlets
All downstairs outlets installed upside down
Lol kinda cringe 12/2 for resi lighting
Ah but there is a reason for it… can you tell me why?
