    I used to feel like an absolutely useless mess when it came to home repair and improvement. Like, picture a soup sandwich holding a hammer. Thanks to hours and hours of your videos, I have the knowledge and confidence to do so much good work to an old house and garage I am inheriting. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these videos and for explaining everything in such great detail. I'm tremendously grateful.

    Good explanation. I will say that any outlet connected to a GFCI outlet on the down run is also GFCI protected.

    Love the information. I’m going to put new siding on my house starting next week and I need to add some outlets.
    Thanks 🇺🇸

    I've discovered, and suspected, that in colder climates (below 30°F ) the plastic versions tend to break if used often, like landscaping equipment, blowers, weed whips, edgers, requiring extensive dismantling to replace it. Plus flying critters usually nest up inside the cover when not in continuous accessed or activity around outlet . Love the finished look though. Now if these are made with unbreakable thermal plastics..I'm in. I could sell these dozen a week, installed. !

    That looks like a better version of the in use outlet cover I installed about a year ago.

    You attach what you call an electrical box (around 5:50) to the wall. What is this box? I don't see a link and can't find it. Thanks for your help!

    Good video. The only thing I was change is use commercial grade receptacles. They are slightly easier to install and generally have heavier duty components for durability. Though, I understand why most builders use the lighter duty recepacles to reduce costs.

    • @TheExcellentLaborer
      @TheExcellentLaborer  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I could understand that. Thanks for your input!

    Josh, you should look into the Arlington "IN BOX". It recesses the outlet into the wall with a nice flush cover, so you don't have to have the huge bubble sticking out of the wall.

    Those outdoor covers have come a long way. My house just has those spring loaded covers from back in the day.

    So in new construction we are having our shell built can we install the boxes for outdoor outlets before we wire the house?

    • @sfcvan
      @sfcvan หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can't. Either need to install an outside, that is not inset, box as he did, or there are outdoor boxes that have the receptacle junction box on the outside as well, very bulky but would work in your case.

    Really enjoy your content, but unfortunately the particular province that I reside within Canada requires "Red Seal" certified trades people to complete all electrical, plumbing and HVAC installations for municipal inspections...which totally sucks. I would love to save some $$$ and perform many of your DIY tasks that you have explained so well.

      Thats too bad. in our area, you have to be licensed to do work on other peoples homes, but for your own, you do not need that.

    Why didn't you use a GFCI?

      The breaker is GFCI. The whole circuit is protected as a ground fault. I hope that helps!

    6:50pm I watch these videos too learn how to do something. It is very hard to follow when your going in fast forward. Imagine playing an album made for 33.3 on 78.

      go to settings and slow it down, he did that in the areas that were just stripping wires and connecting them to the outlets.

    Those covers are junk and break quickly, and do not keep the water out.
