Good simple explanation 👏. Line and load always confuse people since over time and brands there not necessarily in the same spot top or bottom. Have you tried thoes decora edge outlets yet? There pretty darn good and homeowner proof. I like the disclaimers but us trained people do hot work more often then we care to admit. I sure hope you tape your boxes on a 4 square with a mud ring just proximity can fault out. I sure do alot of gfis for houses that are 2 wire cloth and making sure rhe pannels don't catch on fire. Thoes horrible 3 peice boxes make me pull my hair out removing and working in them. I think the biggest thing to take away that you didn't cover the yolks arnt enough if you have a metal box it needs a grounding screw every box! Good stuff and check out thoes decora edge it makes for a good video that can help out the subs and views.
@@MattHmm-rq6dn there’s ground pigtails with grounding screw in each box as well as both devices have tape on them. I have looked at the edge devices I do have mixed feeling about them. I just question how good of a contact that lever puts on the wire. Just like the wago vs wirenut theory but I agree that would be a good video.
The edge recipticles hold wires so well I've broke the copper before the lever will give up if it makes you feel better. My co worker couldn't tug it out with his body weight with vice grips. Love the demos and look forward to more!
@@MattHmm-rq6dn that’s awesome! Thanks, I’ll keep them coming!
