How did you connect the 90° returns to their hand rail?
Nails and glue
@@HomesBuiltRight I wish. I couldn't even get the drill bit to go straight through the hard oak graine wood. I have to fabricate a metal jig so I can exactly drill for two 5/15 dowels. And I don't even know how to find the studs behind T1-11 walls.
36” horizontal and vertical! Top landing
Just to clarify, I thought the 25’ and above was an exception to the rule of safety glazing. So how do we know to interpret it as it "does" need to be safety glazed? I mean it makes sense, just not in the wording; or am I missing something? Thank you for the videos, they have helped me a lot!
Love the astros shirt
This is so frustrating. If a trip occurs behind the stove, fridge, or dishwasher, how are you supposed to reset it? A Wolf, Viking, Miele, or Thermador stove can easily weigh 350 lbs.
Good explanation. I get it now. Thanks! Can you do a video on filters you can wash?
u can install a receptacle on the island as an optional unit..not a required...
What do you mean, “behind the wall”? Electrical code requires the disconnect to be readily accessible and within sight of the AC unit. It cannot be behind the wall. Has to be lockable now too if accessible to non-trained people, like the homeowner.
The thing that is confusing to me is that 210.52(C)(3) refers to "Required Receptacle Locations" so: 1) There are a specific (minimum) number of Required Receptacles based on the Sq.Ft. of the top 2) It specifies where to put them (250.52(C)(3)(1)), BUT 3) What about the non-required receptacles that can be installed? I believe they can be located on the sides - correct?
So now all the homes that have outlets are now not in code? lol... I'll put my outlets where i want them
The labeling done on the dishwasher & disposal should have been done on the cabinet surface next to each outlet, because someone could very easily mix up the plates. 🤔 🤦♂️
I dealing with this tile, and it’s boated as a regular tile so it doesn’t come together👎👎👎
Where do we find there angled outlets with led lighting?
Great video, Dave! Can't believe it's the first time I ran across this valuable information. It's such a simple, comprehensive explanation that I feel comfortable choosing the right filter. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍
thank u so so much
No mention about service entrances
Stupid code. Just below an overhanging counter keeps spills out of the receptacle, the receptacle is convenient, and your countertop integrity remains. Especially when that countertop costs $4,000. The idea that it stops appliances from being pulled off the counter is baloney. The excess cord will probably hang off the side of the counter inviting that tragedy just the same.
Great information and beautifully presented. Thank you.
Dave, i agree with you a 100%, im a carpenter from NH. When framing exterior walls always cut in wind bracing in corners. Not only does it make frame safe while constructing, but adds great strength to building. Was taught that by old school framing carpenter.
Good info. Dave.
An ounce of prevention
I believe they are referring to the cover plate inside needing a tool or lock to open. Not the exterior cover.
Ill go with the future and then after the inspection ill install it on the side
They are cool but stupid expensive.
Water company says that we have a flush box leak. Not sure what they mean by that. The water company determined this without coming into the house. Any ideas what they mean?
No idea. Sorry.
Stuff gets spilled on islands all the time. What happens when that lemonade spills down into the electrical outlet that they insisted be on top of the island? Plus they’ve ruined the aesthetics of the island countertop, and made a good portion of it unusable as a work area (due to the uneven height and the desire to keep foods and juices away from it). This is absolutely idiotic. Why not say the outlet can be directly under the countertop overhang? Just as accessible with none of the problems.
Checked this video out after our class today on plumbing. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome. Thanks for attending and tuning into my KZread channel.
Thank you for the information
Thank you. I made all Magic electric company, MDEC electric company, and many other electricians, all in Michigan watch your video.
Thank you for watching. I truly appreciate hearing from ya’ll. Just wait til you dive into the 2023. Ouch! Kitchens are going crazy.
Where you install the gfci?
GFCI is not required on the outside A/C unit anymore. However, all 240V GFCI’s go at the breaker.
And how you connect the neutral in the disconnect switch?
So how it's the conection for the ac unit? How to install the gfci outlet for the hvac?
The requirement for this unit to be GFCI protected has been removed from the 2023 NEC, and most states amended it out of the 2020 edition. (It doesn’t work!)
Thank you Jesus
Great video...the music ear piercing
Does It matter which side going up two flights on a in door build?
My toaster is plugged into the adjacent wall outlet (table height) at one end of the breakfast/dinner table. Actually, I have two receptacles at that location, on different circuits. When we remodeled the kitchen-dining area we made it NEC compliant.
👍👍😉
Is there any way to export the data? Possibly to Excel? How long or how far back in time is the data kept? Thanks in advance.
Might need to ask the manufacturer that.
@@HomesBuiltRightcheck your app and see for the viewer? We’re asking, because we all have flume for like 5 years and mechanical meters are being phased out, which we’re interested in bluebot
Thnx Dave. We enjoyed the visit and glad we were able to help educate your Project Managers ✊🏼👷🏻♀️
Great presentation Mr. Yelovich!
I keep being surprised by how flimsy most American houses are build. Here in the Netherlands I live in a house made out of 10cm ~4inch of prefab concrete walls and an outer wall of brick. Roof is made almost 15cm thick with the tiles made out of hardened 2.5cm thick tiles. We get named storms and all we have are blown down trees and some shattered windows.
Sounds overbuilt and inefficient.
@@matthewt2010 We don't have to rebuild our homes after every storm. And our houses last for centuries. The older structure still in active use in my city is from 1254.
NOW....the omnipresent discussion of costs.....(labeled as "overbuilt" previously) in the US many versions of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are available. The increased cost usually send the client in other directions that seem more cost effective. That's just the walls and if you add a roof of ICF (or some other alternative method that is VERY durable...it falls back to cost effectiveness. @@dutchglobetrotter4513
These are affordable, single family dwellings in low density areas. They are being built for Americans who want to own the home they live in. They're also not meant to be there forever. With the surging population they will eventually be demolished to make way for larger concrete and steel structures.
thanks
Very much Helpful video Sir,,, Thanks❤🙏🙏
IMO, this Code will be thrown out as an increase in fires and child-involved accidents occur, from the increased use of "Extension Cords"!!
Dave loves your content. Keep it up. Thanks
What about plug moldings? A client of mine wants a plug mold below her countertop… it’ll still technically be on the countertop lol
So....is a line supply for future outlets REQUIRED? (Option 3)
I renovate homes in Tampa Bay area and my inspector on my last flip said "yes" I had to choose either A,B, or option C. I chose "C' because the peninsula consisted of all cabinets with drawers, making a pup up not an option (because of part of the receptacle hanging a good 2 inches into the drawer area). Give your building dept a call and ask to talk to an inspector to make sure. Hope that helps.
@@stevekordish4763 Thanks. Yeah, I looked it up, the 2023 book sez receptacle outlets now optional but if you don't put one in "accommodations to add one later must be provided" -- so, wire or raceway depending. 210.52(C)(2)
@@WardCo Right. Island/peninsula outlets are no longer required. The code states that the REQUIRED outlets must be installed above or in the counter. I'd argue that the outlet on the side of the island isn't a REQUIRED outlet, so it doesn't fall under those rules. Am I prohibited from installing an optional convenience outlet there? Not sure that the inspector would agree to my reading of the code. I'm building a house soon, so I may just have to go the "future installation" route.
@@DaveHalderman I agree with your reading. You could put one on the side of the island as an OPTIONAL outlet -- BUT, as you say, you have to get it by the AHJ -- plus, of course, that position is being discouraged for a reason (kids pulling hot appliances down on themselves).
I like the new code
Great vid! Do you have an installation video?
No, but the manufacturer does I believe.
How well do they seal? You should see all the stuff that has run down the sides of our pop-up downdraft.
My refrigerator outlet was inside cabinet
