@lisapiglett Glad this video helped you with your project. I've got more instore for you on my channel. All you have to do is keep watching! Thanks for your comments. Joe :0

Just wanted to thank-you for the video as it did help me! I couldn't figure out why my wall switch was not working and as soon as you mentioned breaking the tab that solved it for me! Keep posting your videos as it was helpful to me maybe not to others. A great man once said, "You can please most of the people some of the time. Some of the people most of the time. but none of the people all of the time!"

@nightflyer1j Your saying is so true. I figured there would be someone out there who would appreciate 'joe' spending his efforts on making this short video. Thanks for letting him know! :0

"MAKE SURE YOU KINDA UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO"...this video sucked duded...it explained very little

[VideoJoeKnows]

@waltme1 I've received some other negative responses, on this video, too. I thought I was explaining it properly, to where the viewer would understand the concept better. I guess I struck out with you. Sorry. I hope this doesn't prevent you from watching any of my other videos. There's some good stuff on my channel. There might be something there to benefit you, on yur next preoject for (you fill in the blank). Thanks for commenting & I will try to do better. Joe :0

I WANT TO PUNCH U IN THE NECK! That was the worst explaination ive ever heard. Confusing and just too much BS. U were no help.

[VideoJoeKnows]

@bullydogbean I'm sorry to hear that "joe" was not any help to you. Sometimes he can go on a bit but most of the stuff "joe" has to say, helps people with their projects. I know "joe" first hand & he really cares about helping however that may be. Give "joe" another try & view some of his other videos. I'll have a little talk with him to see if he can't do better next time. Thanks for your constructive comments & spending the time to let your voice be heard. :0

I think it's fair to say most people don't do this sort of thing because they are afraid they will burn the house down, etc. and I believe their fears are valid. Certain people shouldn't touch wires, lol. Here, if an electrician doesn't do it and something goes wrong, claiming insurance may become an issue. That's not to say it's not done on the side all of the time, but, usually people only fiddle with it if they are very experienced, etc. It's easy if one is adept.

@jenzeppelin Hi Jen, I hear what you're saying & I agree with you to a certain extent. Most people's fears are of the unknown thus they shy away for some things they other wise could do. If they understand what they're doing (for example) & how things work ie. electrical, most people who do some of their electrical repairs could now feel comfortable in tackling something like this...or if they open up an existing plug to replace it (or whatever) they will understand how it's wired.

@VideoJoeKnows If I could practice on something that wasn't connected to the walls that surround me, I may be more brave, lol. :) I think it's the fact it's my own home which makes me not want to mess with it. However, I have known many people over the years who dive into this sort of task with fearless minds, and, quite honestly, I envy the heck out of them.

[VideoJoeKnows]

@jenzeppelin You don't have to envy the heck out of them anymore. Keep watching these videos & you can feel more comfortable in knowing that if an average "joe" like myself can do it, you can do it too. If you have questions, let me know & I will be there. Just ask. Be brave Jen! Joe :0

[VideoJoeKnows]

@jenzeppelin If somebody is going to do some of their electrical work on the side, then they need to know how plugs like this work before guessing at it. That's what I'm pointing out here. It's all about knowledge & what you can do with it when you receive it. Thank you for your comments on the matter. Joe :0

@VideoJoeKnows I hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way. I think your tutorial is fantastic because there are a lot of people out there adept enough and confident enough to do these jobs themselves and your tips sound great! I'm actually too chicken to touch wall wires myself, but, I admire those who do...electrcians are expensive and it's much more satisfying to have the skills oneself. I'm comfortable with other jobs...but for this type, I'd be calling you and hiring you to do it. :)
