I find your videos very informative as it shows how most things differ here in the UK. For example - hot/live is brown, neutral is blue, earth/ground is green and yellow striped, on is down for light switches, most outlets are switched and always have a ground pin, all plugs are fused and so on.

Hell yeah, Union Pride! As a Superintendent for a General Contractor, I have learned to always insist on Union subcontractors, especially the MEP’s (Mechanical, electrical and plumbing), when we’re having internal meetings for awarding bids to Subs. From my experience, the apprenticeship and post-journeyman training that the individual Unions provide, is by far the most extensive and 2nd to none. The non-Union guys that go thru the ABC(associated builders and contractors) don’t even come close. I believe the Union apprenticeship is 4-5yrs long compared to 2-3yrs(?) non-Union. I’ve also noticed that the Union guys are more professional, which is important because we work in a lot of occupied places with very attractive women and laboratories where cleanliness is extremely important. It doesn’t take much to receive complaints that negatively affect us, as a repeat client, as a company and overall, as construction workers in general. As you know, peace of mind is huge for me lol

It honestly sounds to me like you have a nuetral and a hot dead shorting or something is touching your hot wire like a ground or nuetral. Did you put a nuetral wire on your switch? Check this, if you leave the switch completely off and you turn on beaker will the breaker stay? If so you have the hot and nuetral on the switch causing the dead short

Just found your videos. Thank you so much for doing them. I wish you would have said what brand of multi tool you were using though 😜. Just kidding of course. I did miss something however in which wire is which and how to identify them. I will go back and re-watch the vid and see if I can find it. I live in a house that is well over a century old and has been added on at least three times and discovered that I have a wiring mess here. As an example, there are 15 outlets on one 15 amp breaker. All the outlets are or were the old two hole ones. The only good thing that I have found so far is, the wiring is all heavy gauge copper. We obviously don't use all the outlets and oh yes there are about 6 light switches on the same circuit too. I have been slowly replacing the outlets with current code ones and will be trying to separate the mass and create new circuits. The one thing I am hung up on so far is I have 1 outlet-light switch combo. I have tested it and the wires are hot but the switch and outlet are dead. Is that a normal issue or is it something that is not rare? Again, thanks a ton for doing these videos.

It almost sounds like you have a switched nuetral. Which isn't really safe. Especially in a home that old there was a time period when people thought switching nuetrals were a great idea. Now that's just a guess of course. Or it could be possible that you truly have a bad switch/outlet combo. Keep me posted on what you find out.

How do I remove the 2 plugs on left wall from the control of switch? I have a junction box in my basement ceiling that has those 4 plugs and 2 others connected in that junction box. I have 6 black wires, 6 white wires and my ground wires. I have 2 black wires in that junction box that are wire nut together, guessing that is for the two other plugs that are not connected to the switch. Do I have to do something to the wiring in junction box or the plug receptacles in the wall? I have no red wires. Unless those two black wires are the switch wires. Not sure. Any help will do.

your gonna have to def see which black wires go to those 2 receps, then inside that j box find the constant hot which id be guessing it may be the 2 that are tied together, and join them under the constant hot side. first though find where the wires that are going to that recep are going. now if you have one side of the recep hot all the time and the other are hot...just replace the recep (turn off power) with the hot wire that isnt switched and put a wire nut on the switched wire inside the recep box. Hope that didnt confuse you.

Hey there buddy liked your video learned a whole bunch watching this particular video, I was wondering if you have another video that would show how to install another outside covered outlet box? (doesn't have to be a GFCI) because the first outside box has it in line with an existing outside GFCI already I am just looking to extend another outlet around the corner of my house. To be able to plug in any other device while I am working outside of my house. Thanks a bunch..

If my outlet is set up with a switch already and i want to add a fixed light fixture and not have the outlet on the switch anymore what wires do I remove from the outlet?
@MountaineerOutdoors
4 жыл бұрын
If you are removing the switch easiest way is to take the switch out and twist the wires together in the switch. Then put a blank cover on the box.

I wish someone would invent an electical panel that you can plug outlets directly into from regular extention cords to outlets and switches, then nobody would have to deal with electricians and their high prices. Also, why hasnt anyone thought of inventing breakers that can fit into any fuse receptical? Instead of a fuse blowing it would just trip like a breaker, then I wouldnt have to spend thousand to get my fuse box replaced. Please.

Well for only a third grade intelligence you really hit the nail on the head. Except for nothing you say here makes alot of sense. Your spelling is wrong and punctuation well don't get me started. Don't worry if you fix all of your mistakes I have screenshot them your can show them to your mother so she can explain, or as you said "expkaining" it to you. Now on to other business. Since you are so smart, I plan on doing a video on voltage drop. Tell me, how long should that video be?? Should I advertise anything?? Maybe Crayola crayons for you? Thank you for your wonderful response. ♥
