Full Outdoor Kitchen Wiring
Welcome back guys, I started a outdoor kitchen back in February! Rough-in took about a day and a half by myself and then I waited for the customer to get the counter tops in and all of his appliances ran before making my final connections into the panel. I was able to put all 3 days of it together to show you guys the job from start to finish! Thanks for watch subscribe to see next weeks video! ⚡️⚒️ #femaleelectrician #electrician #construction

I enjoyed your video. I started an electrical contracting business over 35 years ago. My son started working with me since he was 5. His 9 year old daughter now works with us. I am a little apprehensive about showing her your videos. She'll start bugging me to buy her all the tools you use. Great video.

Почему то я думал что для Американских электромонтажников легко купить такой инструмент как Milwaukee
I’m glad there was two of you. I was like “how did she do that all in one day, by herself?” Only because it made me feel like an underachiever. Glad to see you had a helper.
You work with your brother that’s so cool
Impressive. I have 400amp service at my house and it turned out my panels were recalled years ago. Found this out when I had an electrician come in to add a new circuit to the garage for the water heater being moved there. He learned his trade in the Navy on a destroyer. Talk about neat wiring. And I really appreciate it when that kind of work is done. Makes my job and any other tradesman's job easier down the road. We had to relabel both 200amp boxes so I gave him a walkie talkie headset and the two of us did the whole house pretty fast. He even added the circuit breaker number and box it was in on the outlet boxes. So I really love seeing the neat work you do.
I'm not a electrician but I find your videos very interesting and easy to watch in Portrait mode rather than having to turn the phone to get full screen, please don't change it.

🤩 Seeing all those Milwaukee and Klein tools does my heart good.
Very conscientious of her work, very organized. Great job.
Thank you for such a great content. Again another job well done Cant wait for your next video/project and those wiring inside the panels are super neat as always. Those covers on the counter top are Millimeter precision :) Amazing!
I have to admit it's impressive that you are this well disciplined and knowledgeable and hard working. It's hard to find good hands especially in my age group the millennials and the gen z generation forget about it and these are young men what makes it even more impressive is that your a female. I've been in this trade 10 years and so far I have acquired my journeyman license and I have met a few woman in this trade but non put in the work like you they are always pampered and always doing the easiest thing on the job site but you are f****** doing it and exceptions dont make the rule but damn, you are one of a kind congrats to you and much love from midland texas
Your good, at what you do. And your breaker box is as clean as a hospital surgical room. Agree with what you said, totally.
Skilled and cute as heck wow 🤩
Excellent work! I like how methodical you are! Your professionalism and quality is bar none! Whoever taught you is one bad dude!
These kids have all kinds of cool tools. Piece of conduit on a ladder is how we did it. An electric fish tape awesome.
You have a.n INCREDIBLE work ethic. I think you have encouraged and impressed so many viewers with your knowledge and ability. Thank you for doing this channel!!
Quite impressive and nice to see someone in a trade actually care about doing proper and clean work.... I've done data cabling in times past and believe me....have encountered garbage lazy work in closets and ceilings.... outdoor kitchen interesting....
Nice lock out/tag out 😂

Congrats you got your osha-10
With 5 circuits consisting of 10 conductors appears that the #12 THWN wire is undersized if you are using 20 amp GFCI circuit breakers In my area with that many wires we have to use #10 copper type THWN wires. Years ago we always called that derating but forget what term the NEC now uses. Nice job. So much faster using a quality made in USA carbide hole saw rather then the hydraulic KO.

Very impressive, I wish all tradesmen/women took as much pride in their work as you do. If I lived in your area you would be my first choice for electrical work.
Beautiful install, and I like that you could install the panel close yet remote from the outdoor kitchen.
❤ thank you 😊
I love watching how you do your work. I wish I could've become an electrician,( wish I had that passion) I'm more of a jack of all trades master at none.
Awesome Job Lexi. I really love watching your electrical work. Keep up the great videos.
the most influential Lexi, our beauty in the field of electrical engineering, the trust is higher than usual
Good job. My only critique is next time just pull one ground from the sub to the jbox. All u have to do is pull one ground rated at the largest ungrounded conductor.
I love to see UNION ELECTRICIAN AT WORK JUST THE BEST 👌 ❤😊
If I remember correctly if you use one of those little cover plates like you'd use on a handy box surface mount they fit with a single gang mud ring perfectly with no overhang. Used 1900 boxes in my garage surface mount with mud rings to hold the devices cause it's what I had on hand.
I love the way that panel looks. I'm not an electrician, but if I find myself installing or upgrading any panels at my place, I want to make them look like yours. Don't worry I have a lot of common sense that allows me to do things outside of my ballpark.
Nice work. My only issue, is the multiple ground wires in the pipe. Should only need one of the largest sized circuit. Also since the are 5 circuits, that adds up to 10 current carrying conductors and should be derated. Number 10s should have been pulled instead. But if not getting inspected, I understand, I’ve done it before myself lol
Nice work.
I didn’t go through the comments so just ignore me if this was already said… I’m pretty sure those outdoor outlet covers are upside down. You want the wire opening to be faced down so that water doesn’t get in. That’s the way we always do it anyway..
With a any fish tape you could get the same measurement or any commercial stand point blow a jet line and mule tape
You make it look easy 👍
Blaklader has pants with built in knee pad pockets so you don’t have to worry about wearing them separately. They also have a crazy amount of pockets which I love. Highly recommend
Protect that woman at all costs 👏👏👏

Thank you for sharing
Beautiful work. GFI at the breaker is the way to go. Less congestion on the device side, and the brains are better protected, last longer in the panel. How did you splice in the JU box?
I'm not gonna lie. I looked at those Klein boxes yesterday and was like nah I'll stick with Packout. But seeing you running spools out of it! I'm going to get a second look
I would have just ran one ground and connected them all in the j box. but good job that panel was clean.
Fantastic job
I laugh in a good way that is so nice.
The placement of the recepticals above the countertop was perfect. How did you know how high to install the box?
I like the jacket you where wearing on the second day the one you took off
Professional for sure. Love the fish tape haven’t seen it before but I’m getting one. And totally agree with GFCI breaker VS receptacles. 👏🏻
Your using a $1500 hole punch for studs use a 1” carbide bit or if you got room a regular stud punch.
Nothing 🔥 than a girl with tools on hand!!!
Respect to you .
I just have mule tape to measure for my wire and when I cannot read the numbers on it anymore I get more. Way easier than what you had to do.
I love your site.
I'm really impress.
I bet you were stoked about those outlets in the back splash. the covers barely fit 😂😂😂. Panel looks beautiful.
Greetings from Puerto Rico I like the music in the video Anuel AA and the work you did too!!
I’ve seen you on Tik Tok but didn’t realize it’s a family businesses. I have a brother and sister so I can imagine it isn’t always fun working with your brother but it seems cool.
Beautiful lock out tag out.
I envy her so badly, i wish i had a sibling/ close friend i could do trades work with. Good work sis.
awesome job yall take pride in your work be safe and keep videos rolling
Nice kitchen; nice job! Thanks for sharing.
Don’t those above counter receptacles need to be weather resistant?Even if they have a bubble cover?
Awesome work! Very neat and professional 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome🎉❤

You rock. Very clean installs. Nice work always.
Nice work
Definitely a clean work! 😍🔥
Looks awesome, iam jealous of all the fancy tools.
Lexi is the best when it comes to immaculate panels.
I hope you inspire more women to become electricians !!!!!!!!!!!
Nice 👍
She mispoke saying she sepersted the THHN wire. THHN wire is never alliwed in damo or wet locations. Sure that the spools & wire jacket are stamped with the usually dual rating of THHH/THWN.
Awesome!!! First time watching stumbled across ur video! Great job to the point and keeping it what it’s about 👍🏽👍🏽 Simple I like it!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing!
I’m a commercial HVAC tech and love seeing women in these types of trades. I always hint to my daughter about possibly doing HVAC. I’m going to share your channel with her as a inspiration. I hope you stay genuine and don’t sexualize yourself for views. It’s your choice in the end but either way you decide what type of model you want to be. Hopefully you choose role model.
Another nice video with clean work. FYI, you violated Art 310.15B3a. more than 3 current carrying conductors in one conduit and required derating them? since you stated you ran six circuits. Then you needed 10g for 20amp or 12g for 15a with the derating.
That’s a nice tool bag.
Subbed. Great work and awesome you're showing ladies they can do the trade work also
Awesome work
Nice work! Ive been in the trade 24 yrs and i never see women in the trade
I think I’m in love!!! 😍😍😍
Lexi, why not run one green to your junction box for all of your circuits?

Let say worst case scenario where multiple branches had a ground fault. That one egc won't hit the breaker hard enough to trip.

Looks good, I would have opted for bell boxes with in-use covers but I’m sure this will do.

Yup, bell boxes are good for 20+years.
I always see issues with the countertop guys matching the receptacle placements when they choose tile or hard stone like granite. It’s rarely perfect. The knee pad test. 😂 Did you feel like you’re wearing armor? “I am invincible!”

Why ko's instead of a impact holesaw? For studs it'd be a lot faster and easier

awesome work
Very good job 😊😊
Awesome!
the other klein knee pads are better but padding wise the one with the 2 straps on each
Awesome work, very well done… but dont forget your safety glasses protect those eye balls
Beautiful clean work and cool tools! I would just recommend using THWN vs THHN for underground wire, keep making these videos!
6 circuits for outdoor kitchen is extremely generous I was thinking 2 max but I guess if it's on a close sub panal why not

The panel and install looks nice, however, you speak of code and calculations but it seems you both do not understand them. 250.122(c) states that you only need 1 equipment grounding conductor in the pipe installed from the panel based on the largest overcurrent device. That is a large waste of materials. Furthermore the conductors needed to be derated per 310.15(c)(1), 10 current carrying conductors would only have a 50% ampacity rating based on 310.16, or 15amps, making the breakers too large for the install. These should have been installed as a #10 THHN conductor to meet code. If we are going to speak of code, perhaps we need to understand and follow it. Sorry to be critical, but that is the nature of the game and trade. Keep up the good work, and keep learning!
