Any work that involves working on the electrical panel can be dangerous and should only be done by a licensed professional.
In this scenario, Heath found that none of the surrounding receptacles or their wiring were to code, so he removed and replaced them with a 12-2 NM cable and a single GFCI outlet. These materials can be found at any home center or electrical supply store.
Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Eaton and Eastman Electric (www.eatonandeastmanelectric.com/ ).

/ thisoldhouse - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
You guys are amazing, general public need this kind of information,
I had to cut some holes in a finished ceiling for pot lights. Used a dremel, screw and fishing line. Got a nice cut and the pot lights fit like butter.
You can always make a large diameter perfect circle on the bandsaw using a center pivot as well!
Router skills! Very cool info and demo!
Very useful informations. Great video.
Never new about those rollers . Always wondered why the difference good to know.
In my 50 years never saw or heard of anybody owning the offset device. Was thinking of purchasing one until I found out how muchbthey cost. Finally got good at not only doing offsets but back to back & saddle bends. Good ideal of using the piece if 1/2" EMT to protect the NM cable coming down wall. Did not see what year this was made but if your state is in the 2020 NEC you would have to provide AFCI protection and not a GFCI receptacle. Hope you mentioned that you must use TR ( tamper resistant ) for all 15 & 20 residental receptacles. One of our local inspectors does not require a TR receptacle if over 7' above ground level.
Congratulations on the new baby.🙏🤞🎉

That circle jig is fire
The electrician said install a arc fault breaker, it should be a arc fault/GFCI combo breaker also turning off the the main breaker does not isolate the whole panel, it only turns off everything after the main. If you want to isolate the whole panel you need to have a disconnect ahead of the panel or pull the meter.

3:23 If you want a true 5" radius the nail hole has to be 5" from the beginning edge of the router bit.....not to the middle of the router bit.
Came here to say this. Jen's method (which has been shown on other episodes), does not give a10" diameter (5" radius) circle. That is because she did not account for the bit. The measurement she made is to the center of the bit. If you do that and expect a 10" diameter circle, you'll be disappointed
came here to point this out as well.
Yeah, that was 10-ish inch diameter.
i've seen a few other segments with her, she designed them and they thought she would be competent enough to get the things right. They want to have more women on the show doing stuff to be woke but it's hard to find skilled women so they will just take what they can get. We've all made some silly mistakes in measuring though...but then again if I was a skilled woodworker like Tommy and good enough to be on the show I don't think I would make mistakes like that...but with women they will just take whatever they can get.

i was unaware that it was legal to run ROMEX in conduit. i also thought you had to run conduit all the way to the panel - not just up into the joist bay. please comment if you are know what the NEC has to say about this. THX
re 13:39, a three prong outlet with the ground terminal jumped to the neutral will defeat the tester. Peak in the box to be doubly certain.
I have a tester that picks up on that trick but yea, those test light testers are easily fooled.
Love the router circle jig. Hate the choice of bits, though-- needlessly large. Use a 1/4" up-spiral solid carbide bit instead. Less waste, far better control, much less chips too. Smoother cut, needs far less sanding before finish.
Second trick: Secure the circle from below, to a larger support piece, taking care to keep the screws well away from the edge. Then, once the circle is cut? Use the same jig, but with an edging bit, to create whatever shaped edge you desire, round over, cove, etc, using the appropriate router bit. Use the same set up to sand, as well. THEN you remove from the underlying support piece.

I understand running new wire to the basement outlet so they have a ground, but never figured why they tore everything else out. Why not leave the original conduit and 2x4 box? Yes, there's something spiffy about "all new" but the average guy will go the easy route and have the same end result for working purposes.
So it’s up to code
@@jsmith5641 ... if the wire was replaced and included a ground plus being a GFCI then it would be up to code. I just didn't see the need for ripping everything out when it already had a conduit and box in place. That made it spiffy, but wasn't necessary.
Love it how you guys advised turning off the MAIN breaker inside the panel while fishing the new dedicated circuit wire thru, during the filming it was still flipped on. Otherwise great video TOH, he deserves those cold ones! Keep em coming!!
I enjoy the production part of the shows - notice at time 2:21, Jenn's watch reads ~11:00... and then at the 4:59 mark, her watch reads 11:50... these segments, like any TV show, take longer to make than expected due to audio/video/lighting issues, miscued lines, etc... the process is quite involved...

Hey dumb question
Was there a connector or some sort installed at the top of that conduit?
Maybe a box connector to a rigid coupling to a L16?
Or was it just left floating in the EMT
And not that i dont love EMT.........why for that installation?
@@deanwilson7047to protect the wires from physical damage.
Mmm, that conduit offset bender is a pricey tool. I’m doing a lot of house remodeling. I like it so I was just looking… I don’t think I’ll be getting one 😂
No screen in the fireplace doors?
You guy's are fantastic ,But I do have a problem with an electrical outlet with no power/ It did work before ,I checked the brakers 16:58 all are fine So I changed the outlet hoping that would have been the problem no luck,can you assist me with this problem when you are in the area I would appreciate if very much
Thank you
Please advise😅 15:48 sent 7/4/2023
The host is such a dope lol 😆
@18:31 I could tell it’s definitely from the 80s. How does the classic Nintendo on the bottom of her entertainment center.
I bet he took that arcfault out after the cameras stopped...lol
Been installing and uninstalling the same afci since they came out! 😝
Romex is not rated to be installed in EMT, at least where I am
It can be run inside short runs of conduit, typically 8 ft or less. It's often used to protect the cables from the ceiling down to the receptacle box, as it is here.
It can be run in conduit, but you have to pay attention to conduit fill. In this case it is being used to protect it from physical damage.
We run it in sec 40 only one wire
i failed that in austin texas for using 12" of conduit over romex.
Seriously, why not just run mc the whole way? It's not that much more $$. And then you're grounded at both ends. Hope he at least put a connector on the top end so it doesn't friction wear as the rats run across it. No? Then a kick toward the panel? No? Enjoy that house fire.
If you're going to use a quad box, install a quad outlet. No reason not to!
running a dryer on 120v? I'm used to 240v.
When I lived in a duplex the other tenant purchased an electric dryer that could run on 120 or 240 volts. Only problem took 4 times longer to dry everything. Whenever you halve the voltage to a heating element you quarter the BTU output. So a 5000 watt heater w
@@Kevin-mp5of I do now see the gas line next to dryer. But then what is the 'heavy load' he is talking about. I would still install 12 gauge anyway.
@@donc-m4900 Unless you're just being cheap there's really no reason to use 10 or 12 for anything up to 20 amps.

ALSO... who TF puts a gfci outlet on an afci breaker. It's like a missile switch that takes two people to reset. Just use a regular outlet on a dual fault. I mean... that is code now.
Good way to strip machine screws. By Installing them with a power drill..

So glad they didn't paint the brick fireplace. If they want real heat from that fireplace, put a wood stove out into the room that sits halfway on the ledge and a fireproof pad onto the carpet. Fireplaces suck heat OUT of the house, they don't heat a house at all.

to get a 10" diameter you don;t center the router bit to your measurement. you measure to the inside edge. also you're not using the best router bit, evidenced by the chatter when cutting . please explain how a screw would cause the wood to bind? if you have the right size clearance hole, either is fine

How to fix no ground: tear it all out and redo?? Really?? Why not present a real challenge? Maybe no ground in a finished bedroom. Oh, and romex down your emt? C'mon? When did it go from "I learned everything from TOH" to "Don't do what you saw on THAT tv show"?
NEC article 334 allows you to run NM in conduit for protection purposes. I'm sure some state and local codes supercede that though.

has this show ever helped a blue-collar family?
Up through the 80s and then it became remodels of the rich and famous. I miss when they were doing projects that met more common folks remodeling projects than some 7 figure home getting a huge six figure near total make over. When the homeowners would have to put in sweat equity to keep a job on budget.
These are old clips 🤨
Said it on the original video and im gonna say it on this one. That guy lets a man that doesn't know what a ground is to use the meter and tell him when the power is off...
@@ProfessorOfLogic81 That's the definition of trusting others with your life. The only thing more dangerous is trusting an inexperienced person with your life.
@@ProfessorOfLogic81 And for all we know the electrician was really standing next to the cameraman at the time they filmed that.
Never assume what you are seeing on television is the whole truth. They fake some things for production purposes. Including things that are presented as if the homeowner is doing some things for the first time.
Who's to say that Heath didn't check it himself after (or before they started filming)? Don't believe everything you see on TV.
You don't really get television production do you.
This isn't filmed with multiple camera's, it's a single camera shoot. They film him saying to tell him when the meter reads off.
They re-set up on the meter with the same camera to film it going to no power reading.
They pretend it's all happening at the same time and that the homeowner is actually monitoring the meter for show presentation purposes.
@@corn1971 Wait till he finds out that all those shots of the homeowner from inside the house opening the door and greeting the presenter isn't really the first time they met. (hint, the camera got inside the house somehow.)
