  • hmm sounds like you wont be doing any repairs to it any time soon because it just sounded like you stripped the FUCK OUTTA THE SCREWS 2:13

  • You left out how to properly mark the location, how to mark the cutout, and how to cut the hole without damaging the drywall. Other than that, good video.

  • @brenyboy26 LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHA

  • Why is the outlet box a peice of plastic? I don't know how things could be done differently in the US (national level), but we recently had our basement finished and converted into a luxury basement apartment/living space, and I all the outlet boxes and junctions for the switches were made of metal. All of that stuff in my basement was done in 2010, and thus conforms to the Canadian Electrical Code circa 2010, not 1992. That's interesting.

  • stick to inspecting mate.

  • This guy doesn't know what he's doing.

  • Probably be easier with

    mainlinepower.co.uk

    I was "killed", how those electricians work in apartment buildings. If fuse burns quite often, they put bolts or piece of copper wire. When panel makes fire, safety board says, that everything is done correct due to having license. It is protecting of economical interest instead of safety.

  • @Dmitrytln Every time a new code book comes out new crap comes in make in it easy to do electrical work bullshit. Code book = new products you have to use now even if they don't do the job well. lol Oh and that guy i was talking about the owner ended up giving him a nickname which was that he was my master apprentice lol

  • @Dmitrytln From experience I use to work on a Electrical Company i was the apprentice back then and i actually had to tell the "Lic Electrician" how to do some stuff. The way you obtain an electrical lic is not the same as having years of on hand experience i have seen a lot of them use the solid wire and just push in the cable thru the back which i hate because in time its going to give you issues as the rummex you cant pull it ou and run new wires. I prefer the old school way.

  • @GMELECTRONICS365

    I know, that licensed electricians know nothing about related math, but they pride by cheap dirty piece of toilet paper.

    Nobody of licensed electricians adviced to line the cable inside the conduit, nor to use normal terminals instead of those shitty wire nuts. Licensed, f**k specialists of f**k.
