sparky,nice clean looking job,i was just wondering why you dont leave 6 inches of free conductor out side of the device box in a question mark or loop shape ? were taught this is school in canada, so if the drywaller nicks a conductor you can just pull new conductor into the box. thanks for all the great vids

Nice job, Sparky! Looks like wicked fun for me. I've always wanted to redo an old fixer upper house; especially the wiring. I have learned so many new tricks of the trade from watching you. Keep it up! If only it was legal for a 16 year old to get a license!

@jjlwis #1 awg (american wire gage) is smaller than kcmil aka MCM which starts at 250 MCM
Pancake boxes ARE NOT rated for ceiling fans. Plus code violation. Romex going through a block wall w/o protection. Why don't you strip your wires before going into the box?

@Megawatts37 I am not sure as to why on stripping romex first,never taught that from any one. Romex/block I will stuff with insulation and expandable foam.
