Several times I almost exited out because you are doing way more than I plan on, but you kept showing me some good ideas that I never quite did it. It seems you know your stuff. I guess I'm getting old when I find myself thinking, how did this kid figure out so much. ;-) Good job Jake... and Kiva.
+Tiny Nest hey! 🙋🙋 I'm over in the Kootenay region. nakusp to be exact. I'm finding your series very very helpful in regards to proper building practices since I'm not as knowledgeable as I would like to be yet. Of course everything is a learning process and you grow as you learn... I'm super stoked about being able to have a home mortgage free.
You are a real pro, Jake. Kiva makes a great assistant, too. I like the extra wire bends you leave at the boxes. Hope I remember to do that next house I build. Another great video.
you guys are awesome! I wait for each video to come out like a child on Christmas morning waiting to open presents. Honestly the best videos about building a tiny home anywhere on you tube or the internet. Your an inspiration to build our own soon hopefully. To top it off, We live in the Portland area (a 20 minute drive to Iron Eagle). can't wait for more!
You know what I like about your video it was very stimulating mentally as you explained each step of the codes and the mechanical infrastructure of the how and why you perform different tasks and it sounds like to me like you have to know a little about design and what you want in your house so you can know how to set-up the wiring system am I right looking forward to hearing from you Peace.
Always interested to see how people do things differently. The main reason we always used the white staples(instead of the all metal ones) is so that if the wire is pulled on for some reason and it's going around a 90 degree angle, the wire won't dig in to the staple and possibly create a short. I think the all metal ones are more to save money
+Life Inside A Box Yeah time and money :P sometimes at the expense of quality :(... funny enough, there have been many times when I've been removing NMD in haste (like demolition for a reno) where I just yank on the cable to pop the staples, and it doesn't really mangle the wire as much as you'd think. It's good to know the jacket is pretty strong.
I moved from the UK TO Florida and into a house that had recently been remodeled. I saw one such example of one of those metal staples which was almost all the way through the Romex cable plus a load of other cowboy stuff, which told me that the cowboys who were doing the electrical work just should have been nowhere near it
I've noticed in a lot of your videos Jake is wearing a paintball shirt. If your ever in Jacksonville Florida make sure to check out Paintball Adventures! I've really enjoyed watching your journey with the TH. Can't wait to see it finished!
+Scott Wiggins Thanks for watching... Florida is a WAYS away, but I'll keep it in mind ;D I actually just went paintballing last weekend, which was the first time in over a year.
Well if the tiny house thing doesn't work out you could turn it into a rolling datacenter. That is a lot of cable! Great video. I like the loop idea, hadn't seen that before
+Nels Christopherson One should always respect the ratings of any device. Panels will have both a voltage and amperage rating, and since watts are the product of volts x amps, you can figure out what your maximum capacity for power is from any device with these ratings ;)
Hey Tiny, I am electric and eletronic engineering student and I want to know more abou the Australia electrical installation. Could you help me? Could you point me books on the subject?
It's sometimes called HeatX because it's often used in 240V heating circuits. We are in Canada. The only reason we used it was because I had a bunch left over, so we wanted to use it up rather than buying new white/black (yellow outer).
Holy Crap Batman! Are you using Lutron control? Those vapor boxes for the LV are cool, I usually just use and plastic mud ring. What no speaker wires?! Btw nice use of the smurf tube.
+The Contractor Dude We're going to write the program ourselves using an Arduino computer as the controller, and carious lighting drivers and relays to operate things. There are speakers wired in ;) and that tube is going to be really helpful with the planned setup in there.
Question: why not use those 1 or 2-gang poly vapour barriers on all your boxes? Are they not up to hot stuff (ie I used them in my build thinking that was fine)? Are you just being extra super careful?
+beezwings In retrospect, we should have used all boots instead of the pre-sealed boxes, simply because of how it is not depth-matching our interior paneling... otherwise, the pre-sealed boxes are just quicker and easier to install.
Hey man great work. I really like how you are meticulous and neat with the wiring. Although, I have to say something. FOR THE SAKE OF ALL HUMANITY, PLEASE STOP calling those "PLUGS" that you are mounting in the wall. The correct definition of those are called "receptacles or outlets." The 2, 3, or 4 wire male prongs on a cord cap that stick out and go in the receptacles are called plugs. Plugs plug holes to get power. Receptacles or outlets provide power. Connectors are the female cord caps, plugs are male cord caps. Have a blessed day.
Definitely like to keep it tidy. Yes we know :P there is an incorrect common misuse of the word plug... and it tends to roll off the tongue because it's one syllable, as opposed to "receptacle" which I consider to be the correct term.
I used to work for an electric supply company, everything residential to industrial. I dealt with guys using wrong terms all the time. Maybe it's just from all that built up. Anyways, just kidding :) It's nice to see people taking your work seriously. Keep up the good work!
There will be so many buttons and sensors that we need the cat6 to handle it all. Additionally, the LEDs require 4 conductors, which once again would be just way too much cabling if it was too thick.
+Ephesians 6:13 Heh, thanks for the feedback. You'll probably want to skip our outtake videos though :P we actually keep our mouths under control a great deal for the usable video clips, so the profanity is a bit of our rough edges showing through ;)

Can't wait for next wiring video, really like the detail you provide on all the steps you've taken on this journey. Thank you!
+Rick Banton Thanks for watching :)
Nice clean work. Whoever taught you did a good job.
I like the phrase she uses lookin at it than lookin for it ha ha
yay finally a Canadian tiny house builder on TH-cam..
greetings from BC. 😊
+Alisha Robertson Hey! Where in BC are you?

+Bryant Ford :D just don't leave too much extra floppin around ;)
now if others would follow your style and craftsmanship houses would go back to lasting hundreds of years great job so far keep up the great work
+Scott Tyndall :D
Nice work 👌 Vijay Kumar

+patrick Plumb Glad we're making an impression on you :) Iron Eagle is the way to go imo
another terrific video thank you for sharing!
The Place is looking great guys!
+Brandon Manns :D
Again, another solid video... good job guys. Patiently waiting for the move-in video :) Have a good autumn season.
+ThisIsSolution Thanks :)
Ty yal nice video
Love it guys
wow wonderful
Thanks for watching :)
Great info - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching :)
Greetings from south korea.
:D

Glad it was informative for you :D
Yeah you definitely want to have a solid plan for everything in your house that will need power.

Yeah that's another issue I've seen too... the metal ones are much more likely to cause damage in a variety of situations...
Helpful!
Glad it helped!

Nice detail, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching :)
Still have a way to go until the last episodes but i am looking forward to each of these.

+Bike Man Dan Much cabling, such data :)
very good, my dream to learn and work in this profession in the USA
nice guys
;)
awesome stuff
Thanks for watching :)
Are you an electrician ? i am and i gotta say you put some effort in there and did a really good job id be proud of that work .
+Stuart Birchall Actually I am an electrician ;D but thanks!
I like the haircut transition at 7:10 minutes ;]
XD
Yo teaching is good guys.
Thanks for watching :)
Dave dee is trying to impess pretty girl. Hahahahahhaha
Great video! I have been thinking about building a tiny house with your videos I'll be better equipped to deal with sub contractors. Thanks!
+Holly Laughter Let us know how your project turns out!
I just subscribed 10 seconds in lmfao
Aw yeah!
\o/
She's so beautiful..
inorite ;)
Depends on the panels, you can have all the watts you need you just have not go over the amps
+Nels Christopherson One should always respect the ratings of any device. Panels will have both a voltage and amperage rating, and since watts are the product of volts x amps, you can figure out what your maximum capacity for power is from any device with these ratings ;)
Are you guys gonna use solar panels
+Dan Stefanic Possibly in the future.
Woman is electric?! I see first!) It's cool!
Is the red and black Romex 12 awg or mm size is the yellow 12/2 available in Canada same as in the USA
It's 12AWG, same as the yellow, I believe it's all the same... AWG is AWG
The girl is really pretty lucky bastard
how many amps is the service
The cabling can do 50A at 240V, but we are currently on a 40A breaker.
Hey Tiny, I am electric and eletronic engineering student and I want to know more abou the Australia electrical installation. Could you help me? Could you point me books on the subject?
We are in Canada, and I believe there are numerous differences in Australia, so I don't think I can help you there!
wear did you get red and black romex i only see red in 3 wire romex plus ground what country are you in

+Tiny Nest Thanks! Phew! I hope you realize that you are like 50% responsible for my build. You are amazing for sharing this for free.
+beezwings Thanks for watching :) and we do accept extra support on our website ;D
The girl is really pretty

why use low voltage wire at all?
There will be so many buttons and sensors that we need the cat6 to handle it all. Additionally, the LEDs require 4 conductors, which once again would be just way too much cabling if it was too thick.
oh man you guus think this is good? i thought i would have a heartattack watching this 😂
not the worst installation iwe seen but if i did this on a new installation i would get fired lol
Care to specify?
Lol 4:02
;)
Canadian electrical wiring rules are stupid, Australia’s more simple and advanced
Nice trollface lol
good info like the video. my one critisism is you should be more proffesional and not use profanity. otherwise great vid
+Ephesians 6:13 Heh, thanks for the feedback. You'll probably want to skip our outtake videos though :P we actually keep our mouths under control a great deal for the usable video clips, so the profanity is a bit of our rough edges showing through ;)
