Light and fan on the same switch are usually good for rentals because it will keep your renters from using the shower without the fan on. Mold mitigation is expensive.

As an electrician you did a pretty good job from what I seen on the video, I will offer a few tips if your interested. Kitchen counter tops require 2 20 amp appliance circuits with afci/gfci protection, a plug is required 2 feet from the edge of the counter then every 4', and any small counter 12" or wider. The range outlet needs to be dropped, add a stud on top of the bottom plate stud and flip the box to nail it down adding the 2x4 ensures the plate cover will cover just fine, and lowering the plug will put it behind the broiler section of the range with more space for the cord to fold up, additionally you may be able to run the range wire you have under the house and it may be long enough possibly. The 4 short halo cans I would suggest getting led retrofit lights as any other trim options are going to suck since its a shorter can version than the standard ones. Gfci plug in front and back of the house and also one within 25' of the ac unit, the gfci at the back door may work if it meets the 25' rule, also light on back outside porch. The bathroom needs a 20 amp gfci next to the vanity on the right side to keep it away from the shower side area. The switch is easy, tie all the grounds together then the neutrals, then pigtail the power with 3 blacks for each of the 3 switches. Laundry area, well..few things, power for the dryer and washer look good, concern would be the drain looks like it could be to far away if the front of the stacked units are facing the door. The water heater doesn't need a box, it is within sight of the panel so no disconnect is required, I would dump the box raise the wire up just above height of water heater and then just use flexible metallic conduit to connect to a 90 degree 1/2" flex fitting into top of water heater. All lighting except bathroom needs afci protection..dont forget your smoke detector in the bedroom, dishwasher and disposal best to run separate circuits to both and dishwasher needs gfci protection and if fridge is within 6' of sink it as well, fridge requires afci. 12-2 only needed for kitchen counter top, washer,microwave, bath gfci and dining room plugs, but doesn't hurt anything running 12-2 for everything. These items talked about are per the 2014 nec code and most carried over from 2011. afci requirements may be different in your area depending on local adoption procedures to the NEC, best to just call the inspector if not sure. My area (NE) one is not allowed to wire a second home other than the one they're living in. Hope this helps, love the videos and you're doing some great work on the house.

In your utility room make a junction box for coax cable, run your coax to your rooms, so if your tenant wants cable tv / satellite the installer dose not have to run the lines from the exterior walls into the room or threw the floors. would hate to see fresh dry wall hung and then coax ran all over the place.

I am glad that you understand the importance of having all sorts of knowledge and skills, I am 65 I worked as a machinist all my life, now in retirement I am learning how to apply building skills. Have a great day.

It’s really nice to see you do the wiring so neatly, in the house I used to live in, which was around 130-150 years old, the wiring was exposed in the basement and it was just a total rats nest. Trying to figure out what was still being used and what wasn’t was always a nightmare. Great vid as always!

WOW! People from all over the world are watching your videos and commenting. It is interesting to learn how other countries do things so different from us. Not that they are wrong or that we are wrong here in the US, just that it is different. You are doing an excellent job. Just imagine, a humble "southern boy" like you impacting the world. Awesome.

And also you don’t need to run 12/2 to the lights and most of the receptacles in the house, you can use 14/2 and I believe it’s like $15 cheaper pair 250ft roll, so that can save you quite a bit of money

I've lived 48 years and somehow never seen anyone do electrical wiring. (Here in Australia only licensed electricians are allowed to do it, so it's not a general handyperson task.) Thank you so much for filiming this! It was much more fascinating than I expected.

So satisfying to watch. I watched all your previous videos in 2 days

I binge watched all of your previous videos in this series, and then got sad when I saw it ended at episode 18. The wait it over! Awesome.

Cool update, keep 'em coming.

Another great video! Thank you! Look forward to your new videos all the time.

Really enjoying seeing the progress as you go. Keep 'em coming please.

Loving this little house! It's coming along very nicely!

Enjoying this journey. Keep em coming! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Looks great. Good clean work.

Awesome work. There's nothing like renovating a house to teach construction techniques. I bought a house a few years ago, and at the time probably didn't know how to swing a hammer. Four years later, I've done farming, drywall, electric, plumbing, concrete, decks, you name it.

I love hard work, I could sit and watch it all day.

I can't wait to see this little house when it is finished.

Yes!! New episode. Intro and video quality are looking great! Thanks for keeping up the series.

The first house I worked on was in a pretty rough area. I would stay there while working on it on a cot, one night around 3 am I woke up to a bunch of banging and dragging noises that went on for several minutes.....I won't get into the full description of what I did as it's rather embarrassing.....but the noise turned out to be a ground hog under the house digging and pushing rocks around. I swear it sounded like someone kicked the door in and was walking around. With that said.....I was ready for trouble!

I cant speak for sweden, however in germany it's a lot more restrictive and you got a lot more fuses (e.g. for every outlet one fuse). For example there a rules on how to route your wire. It's the same for the insulation. Currently in germany the standard height/width of insulation is about 18cm mineral wool.

Just wanted to give my 2 cents! The reason I prefer to wire lights and outlets separately is because if you trip a breaker running a vacuum or something you won't lose your lights also! Just my reason do as you wish! Great video I'm enjoying your channels!

Thanks for the videos! Love to see people getting it done. FYI, the reason for putting lighting on separate circuits is that that when you pop an outlet circuit, you don't lose lights for safety reasons. One question, are you going to put metal plates on studs where there is electrical (and plumbing?)?

NEC code calls for GFI protected outlets above all kitchen counter surfaces. It is a good Idea to have an independent outlet for the fridge and another for the stove. All bathroom outlets get GFI protection as well. Great Job on this remodel.

can"t wait so see the next video

This has been an amazing transformation so far. Whoever lives in this house will have a really nice place to live. You've (almost) inspired me to fix up some of the problems around my own house :)

Great ! This series of videos are my favourite Greetings from mexico

Pretty awesome job thank you.for sharing these videos.love it.

My understanding is that we used to use 110v as standard, but switched to 120v to avoid issues due to voltage drop over long runs. Regardless of whether people say 110/115/120, they are talking about the same thing. Same goes for 220/230/240.

@danielrose1392

6 жыл бұрын

The range 110V-120V and 220V-240V has historic reasons, long story, different systems. All is based on multiple of 55V because it was operational voltage of lamps back then. US used 2 in series, Europe 4 in series. the In the US the higher end was chosen for decreased loss. In Europe with a higher voltage this was less of an issue, so the middle was chosen. It is 230 V ±23 V 50Hz. Note the high tolerance, anything 207V-243V is allowed.

@OverSoft

6 жыл бұрын

In Europe it has an entirely different reason. Mainland Europe used to have 220V and Britain used 240V. When the two networks combined, they chose to use 230V because that meant almost no equipment would have to be modified, because it was in the margins for both.

good job I love your videos

Nice!

Thanks for the video. I used to own a farm with many out buildings most needing electrical service. The way I learned was I hired an electrician to install the electrical panel on the first building and then I paid him extra to teach me how to install the switches and plugs and run the circuits. After that I only used him to set the panels.

Where I am too, you have to use a GFI plug if you are within a few feet of a water source. Great video!

This is great. I love how well this house is coming along. I would love to buy a house and do what your doing. Keep it up!!

I'm not complaining about your decision, but I want to provide an additional comment about the lights and receptacles being on the same circuit. My routine is to put all of the lights on a floor (or in an area) on one circuit, which does not feed any receptacles. The reason isn't anything about the lights dimming when heavy appliances are used, but rather, if you are using a heavy appliance and you trip a breaker, you are now in the dark -- which could be an huge safety issue depending on what kind of appliance you are using. It's also convenient (to me) to basically run a straight line hopping from light fixture to light fixture, staying entirely within the ceiling, then drop switch loops from them wherever needed.

I just like watching you do all the work :)👍👍

Im in the building industry and if your willing to work and love it, what your doing will never let you down financially. You just NEVER fall in love with a potential project and pay too much when you buy. Do your sums and make sure after renovations you cover the labour when you sell! I know you do. Just a warning for others.

Here in Canada, We are supplied 120v. People refer to 110/115 because depending on the distance of transmission before the electricity actually reaches your house, you lose some voltage. This is known as line loss. Although supplied 120v, my house sits around 116-118v.

In the kitchen or any outlet. If your FIRST outlet on the sequence running from the electrical box on that single line 12-2 is a protected outlet the rest in that line are protected. The outlets by the sink can be weather/water protected. Working with electrical in a home building store and working with electricians have taught me that... but that's what my home state codes are..

Regarding the bathroom fans that are always on when you flip the light switch, that is actually code in some areas when the bathroom doesn't have a certain level of ventilation (such as bathroom in apartments or hotels with no window access to the outside). Spending a few bucks on a near-silent fan makes a difference with those.
