Outstanding!! So clean, precise and no fumbling around. My compliments, sir.
ОтветитьTop notch. Well done. Thorough and concise. Thank you!
ОтветитьSaw your video today and installed the outlet for our new tv and everything worked out great. I don't have a fish thing, but I was able to feed the new wire through the back of the lower outlet box right up along the stud and grabbed the wire from the new hole up top. Worked perfectly! Thanks so much for posting this!!!
ОтветитьGREAT JOB
ОтветитьPerfect instructions! I was able to move my outlet up a few feet after watching this video. FYI, I didn't need a fish stick for the short distance; the wire was rigid enough. Thank you!
ОтветитьDo you like fishdicks
ОтветитьHi!! How do you know what size wire you will need !?
ОтветитьThis looks too easy, im scared 😂
ОтветитьThanks for the video, it came in handy.
ОтветитьCould you also have move the entire box up, instead of adding the additional one above?
I assume most houses have the wiring dropping from the ceiling, as opposed to coming from the ground. But maybe that depends on what floor you’re on.
Pretty good video. Here's a tip that you'll find helpful. When working with old work boxes, always remove the ears on your receptacles and switches, as they'll snug down to the boxes. The old work boxes are designed to have the ears removed on the devices. This eliminates the small gap you can have when installing the cover plate.
ОтветитьI’m a journeyman plumber. I’m licensed in two, Two states. Chaya
ОтветитьI watch you video but a outlet behind my TV now can I connect the wires from the new outlet to the old with the screws on the sides of the old one
ОтветитьOk ok I’m convinced I can do this, it’s pretty basic.
ОтветитьWhat do you do with the lower box if you want to "abandon" those switches/outlets?
ОтветитьWhen I opened up my wall it was not this simple. The old gangbox was bolted to concrete and a metal plate. Absolutely no space to shimmy extra wires. I am really frustrated. Your video makes it seem really simple and now my wall is damaged. I deeply regret watching this video. 😪
ОтветитьThere isn't enough space to route a fishstick through the old gang box, the holes are too tight, not sure what to do... it's bolted into the concrete so I can't get it out either
ОтветитьI know this isnt probably a huge deal, but I am in the middle of repairing a bunch of water damage to my floor and wall, and one of the things I read was that you want to avoid compressing insulation as it reduces its ability to insulate. I'm sure some slight compression has only a slight impact, but I think its relatively easy to cut out the i insulation where the box is going. So if it were me.. Id probably want to do that
Edit: actually I read a little more about this and apparently compressed insulation actually has a higher r-value per inch, but the issue is you have less inches (thickness) so overall r-value goes down. So I guess if the insulation is compressed around the box, (assuming you havent pushed it in such a way to make a hole larger than the box itself) that is somewhat better than cutting it away.. and then theres a whole other discussion about trying to prevent cold air from entering around the box
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. One question is how to find which wire to use? Also, how to find out the amp rating of the socket?
ОтветитьWhat if I want the top outlet to be double outlets. Do I do pigtails in the top outlet?
ОтветитьAwesome and straightforward video. Question: is there a Max amount you can pigtail into one feed?
ОтветитьThank you for this!
ОтветитьWhy couldn’t you use the lugs from one of the lower receptacles for the wire from the upper receptacle instead of attaching another wire to each splice?
ОтветитьThis video aged very well - Learning something new in Q3 of 2023!
ОтветитьI did this and both outlets work, tester comes back good and all - but lately the breaker has been tripping every once in a while. I only have a tv on it so not sure what's happening
ОтветитьThis was super helpful. How can I tell what gauge wire I need?
ОтветитьSo how do I find out what type of gauge my wall of the wire has been stripped and can't say gauge type
ОтветитьExcellent
ОтветитьThis is perfect for the project I am tackling ....great job on laying it our so simply.
ОтветитьMy man, super instructional! I appreciate you.
ОтветитьStraightforward and very helpful. Thank you!
ОтветитьWhat about the horizontal studs tho???
ОтветитьGood thing there as no fire barrier in that wall.
ОтветитьShort sweet explanation without lot of fluff. Thanks for doing this!
ОтветитьThis video just helped me add my first outlet 😊
ОтветитьSo helpful. Thanks!
ОтветитьOh my goodness you're so awesome! My husband usually does this type of thing, but we just lost him suddenly so I am figuring things out as needed. Thank you so much! 🎉😊❤
ОтветитьDude very helpful. You asked to comment and let you know. Lol well here's me letting you know! I love those old work boxes for this sh!t, makes it nice and easy
Ответитьgreat tutorial. How do I know which gauge wire to buy?
ОтветитьWow real straight forward with the bs 🎉 love the video
ОтветитьHow do i find out my circuits for the correct wire to purchase
ОтветитьI think even I can do it myself. Thanks for sharing!
ОтветитьGreat video. Very easy to follow.
ОтветитьThis isn’t moving this is adding.
ОтветитьGreat video, thanks!
ОтветитьThank you. Good video. I had seen one but this one is better.
Now a question:
I want to also add a third outlet to the very top of wall for a camera for example…
Should I
A- take a new piggy connection from the back of the TV?
Or
B. Add a third line to the bottom out let piggy
What is a fish stick 😂 that wasn't in the material needed 😒
ОтветитьGreat video. Did all my wiring, but now converting garage to living space. I need to do this 3X for kitchen counter outlets...any issues with 3 relocations on one circuit? Don't think so, but can't hurt to ask .
ОтветитьGreat video - this takes some of the worry away on how to run a new outlet from existing ones! One related question - when running new Romex (like shown in this video) or using one of the "pre-fab" in-wall wiring kits like Legrand, Sanus, etc., is it code/acceptable to leave the Romex "dangling" inside the wall cavity without stapling it to a stud like you would do in new-work?
