hows that skirting holding up? looks like water can easily settle on top of those horizontal 4x4s? Unless you live in arizona or somewhere really dry? lol

I’m having issues putting the final panel to hide the tracks. Any suggestions ?

What is that the fleas are jumping on?

This is very helpful!

Now what?😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂bravo

Gorgeous!

All I can say about this system is that the instruction are utter crap deliberately misleading and the videos ludicrously simplified.

How long can you make the track?

NICE

How did you install the floor track onto carpet?

Note: I used a 3/16th drill bit for the 3/8” concrete anchor. I predrilled the angle brackets with either a 7/16" or 1/2" metal bit. One 4x8 sheet of siding can make 3 sections if they are a little less than 32” tall each.

How do you calculate the high of it?

Old school trick for killing a live circuit but we use the side of our kliens, not screwdrivers. Saves running up and down, using tracers, or turning off other parts of the building. Word of caution, he is correct in short contact because some old breakers or old cloth wire circuits may not trip off immediately. Also don’t do this close to fine paint finishes or wallpaper without protecting them w blue tape or you get scorch marks.

As an electrical contractor of 45 years I use metal midsized plates to avoid so many problems. They cost more but save time. What you have done here is push the plate away from the wall so it is no longer flush. The plastic will crack as soon as someone uses the outlets and presses the ears flat again. Modern decora style devices need more attention because you have to adjust flush, alignment, and eliminate any twist. Twist is usually a problem only if the box is crowded but can be eliminated at device install by twisting the opposite of the offending twist or just wiring neet to avoid wires pushing on device in first place. Metal mid size plates will fix problems of overcut or uneven drywall, no need to use spacers or bend ears. Tighten devices evenly then back out screws about 1 turn so devices can slide slightly, NOT TO LOOS, then let the plate do the rest. The plate should make them tight with no slide. Labor is the most expensive product in any project or install. I use Mulberry Maxi single gang and Princess multi gang plates. The ears are for break off on old work boxes or for temporary outlets to allow for drywall installation, not for this purpose. Admittedly I have used them occasionally in a hurry to deal with a twisted device but avoid doing this. Also I never would stick a tool in the face of a device only on the yoke to avoid scratches. Decora devices are easily scratched. Hope this is helpful.

Note: Some suggest adding spacers, or a 'caterpillar' (or a cut a wire nut in half for a spacer). But you have to back out both the 6/32 screws and the outlet, in order to put the shims behind the outlet. And even then you might have to do it twice or so to get the depth right, very frustrating with multiple outlets, as there is no fine tune adjustment using that method. Spacers avg. 50 cents a piece, even in bulk. So why not just use the ears that are there for that purpose?? Which, if I wasnt video recording, takes about 15 seconds total, where removing the outlet again and adding shims is going to take much longer. I add spacers when there is not enough sheetrock for ears to push against. But this video is simply showing an easy quick way to use the ears, thats what the ears are there for.

I found this very helpful and relevant to my Reno project. Thank you. Maybe it's just me but I do prefer videos in landscape rather than portrait as I watch them on a computer not a phone. Aside from the viewing orientation it was well done.

Don’t stick something in n the outlet like that!!! They actually make little plastic squares that can be stacked if necessary to shim out the outlet… you can find them at any home improvement store or online.

Did you have to cut the track to fit?

it might not "weld" it together, but it will zap a hole in your tool. For example if you cut a live wire with snips or linesman plyers it will zap a hole in the cutting surface, making that part of the tool worthless, or a new place to strip wire.

Flick with a licked finger - no tools needed - you're welcome ;)

I always stick my tongue on a wire if I'm unsure. 240v is hard to miss! 😂

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but if there was any current still going to the live wires, wouldn't shorting it with the screwdriver pop the breaker and therefore not even be at risk of welding it to the wires?

Seen any big brown beavers on the trail?

I suppose John can now be a fisherman in peace

Looks like a primus album art work

Sounds like a primus song too

Turns out a mouse was living in the chair also, although he made a game out of putting his tennis ball under the chair, he may have been doing this because he couldn't catch the mouse?
