What? Are you claiming that one house takes one day to rough in? It should definitely take 2-4 days or you're messing something up. I've seen guys like you. Show up at 8am throwing wire around, then struggling come midday before you decide to forgo wire management and leave shorted runs and spliced wires...
'Big Improvement' is saving 5-10 sec on marking the top? You still have to measure it and different boxes have different spreads between nails, so you have to accommodate for that difference, meaning you have to calculate. Honestly not much of an 'improvement'.
can we attach label-maker generated labels to wires in a box, such that the adhesive label wraps around the wire on one side, and attaches to itself on the other, to identify them?
Get caught putting up a pancake or bar hanger box in a bedroom will result in termination. No one will ever know it the light is off one or two inches. Let’s go!!
Why did you run your wire through the stud twice? Just run it straight up the stud with a wire staple. As a Canadian, I hate those plastic boxes, use a grounded metal box.
Always called the flimsy plastic boxes blue light specials. Allied makes great fiberglass boxes that I always used especially on exterior walls. Just applied a little bit of bathroom silicone caulk to prevent cold air from entering..Always tried to have all of my NM cables enter all from the same side ( all from the top of box or all from the bottom ). Makes it easier to make nice neat connections. Always placed a piece of tape on hot wire feeding boxes.
The hammer trick or jig trick for receptacles is a joke. Slows the whole process down. 16” mark to top of the box and keep on moving. Once furniture is in the house no one will ever notice a half inch let alone 3 inches lmao! Super quality smart electricians can’t figure out how to succeed in big builder residential. It’s super easy. Get a system of installation down and never fear an inspector that holds u back. When u pull 250+ permits a year they tend to back down. They enforce stupid stuff like gfci protection in a hallway plug cause it’s within 6’ of a bathroom. They never enforce real issues like how many items are on a circuit. The most important issue!
Measure kitchen and bathroom plugs and that’s it. One house one day is what u got! No mistakes! Let’s go!!!!

Very good video!
Big improvement is to mark the top of the box. No need for bending over to see if your at the mark.. it’s easier and faster

Do you have a channel in Spanish?

Those are integral clamps not "knockouts", I kept wondering why you were stapling at 12" and not 8". Slightly confusing

I guess you put a metal plate when you went through the joist again then you would have two metal plates in the joist.
