All outside plugs are protected by a ark fault GFI combination breaker, light and receptacle are on there own circuits, dont use the ground rods, we use the ground plates ,and that has to be 24 " in the ground by code, oh and another thing is we can use a staple gun to staple our wires instead of useing the hammer staples, just for wire of the smaller size, like 14/2 14/3 12/2 and 12/3 any thing else then we have use hammer staples, other than that loved your video!!!!

@@BeyondtheBoom Well with all that 12 gauge wire you got there, tripping will definitely be a rare occurrence. I love how you got it all rolled out and that's a beautifully done panel. My only issue with having lighting on the same circuit is if you have anything with a big enough draw plugged in (i.e., most vacuum cleaners), you'll end up with dimming/flickering lights. EDIT: I think also I'm a little salty because I just moved to a house with old wiring that has been "updated" over time it seems and it definitely looks like stuff that wouldn't pass code. One is a washing machine that's tapped into the lighting circuit for the basement lights. Every time that washer kicks on, lights flicker. Can't wait to get this rat's nest of ungrounded cables gutted and get a new panel and wires rerun, with 12 gauge everywhere of course. ;)

Great point toward the end. Talk to your inspector, they will help you as much as possible answering questions. A lot easier than making a mistake that costs a lot of money to fix.

Full panel of gfci breakers, supplier must be rolling in money right about now heh. Excellent job, probably part in your motor experience. Things I'd point out is typically a level of vapour barrier is required around exterior device boxes on install. 12/2 everywhere is overkill but good quality alongside your gfci circuits. Concern I see is you've run circuits on top of your ceiling in the attic space. I would call that a concern for animal damage and safety of people walking in the attic. Best practise is to go down and through floors joists. From sparky up in Canada, good job overall

@@BeyondtheBoom sorry dude I was talking about my area. They also want a insulated porcelain knob. Instead of an eye bolt. Because the neutral is considered a current carrying conductor. And they attach the neutral to a metal ty that is connected to the point of attachment. Also they don't want a ground wire in the meter can. Plus they require a main fusible disconnect on the outside of the building so they can cut off power from the outside. Different states different rules. Different cities different rules. Some cities don't allow romex at all. It has to be in conduit or m.c. cable. Good work i liked the video. It's nice to see people who build there own places. Like it used to be. It's hard to find anyone getting into the trades or wanting to do anything with there hands to build something.

I like those lug covers too. And the snap on neutral bus to eliminate the pigtails. I'm looking to upgrade my panel and was driving myself crazy trying to figure out which panel you had. Turns out those covers are mandated by a new regulation. Here's a copy/paste from The Home Depot's website "Beginning January 1, 2017, enhanced UL 67 safety requirements will take effect, applying to all panelboards and load centers with service equipment applications. To comply, any single service disconnect panelboard or load center must have provisions such that, when the service disconnect is opened, no person in the field servicing the equipment load side can make accidental contact to live circuit parts. Barriers to protect against unintended contact shall be constructed in such a way that they are easily installable and removable without contacting or damaging bare or insulated live parts." Having those exposed lugs always bothered me, this should have been required years ago.
