Dude... I'm a 24 year journeyman commercial electrician with my fair share of residential work. I won't lie, we look down on residential, but you've really got your act together! That's some of the best tips I've ever heard.

Yes, please make a second video discussing what one should charge for rough in / trim out

Awesome vid , Coach. Thank you.

Awesome tips - Thank You 🙏

Nice 👍 I make up switch boxes and receptacles on rough in… in my jurisdiction we have to land grounds and neutrals only for rough in.. I’ll mark the outer sheathing and leave it on the hot conductors until final termination , of course this is all de energized.

Thank you, more like this 👍

thanks coach on the tips

Nice idea on taking pictures. My boss used to do that and always lost track of which job was which. I told him to take a shot of the mailbox # or the outside of the house before going inside. That helped quite a bit. You can also add sticky notes on the wall to identify which room or which direction the shots are. (front bedroom, north, south, etc) Just one per room or in any other confusing situation will do.

Coach GREAT idea on making this tips vid 👌, thats why your THA MAN, THANKS 💪

Great pointers! Thanks.

Thanks !!

Outstanding advice!!

Great video!💪💪

Thanks

I am an east Tenn electrician I do not pull a finish permit or service release permit under my license unless I do the work, and the inspector also knows . That way, you may not finish the house, but you are released from the ownership of liability of someone else's work. Always let the power provider know that you refuse to be liable, and demand that they record who pulls finish/ service release permit. It is a matter of public record, and be of great value to you in case of future problems. document all pertinent info! I also take photos, I have had outlets covered up!! Thats what drywallers do!

How do I deal with changes at the trim out

Great information, thank you.

If you have a choice for rough in, do you prefer to start after all plumbing and hvac? Do you write that into your contracts?

I been landing boxes behind the kitchen sink, mounted so front of the is 1.5" or so proud of the framing. Cabinet installer is forced to cut it in...

I need help in repairing doublewide. PLEASE.

On the point of leaving wire in the wall for vanity lights, whats your solution when center of your cut in box ends up right on the plumbers pipe?

DIY question. For rough ins does the sheathing on the romex wires in the outlet boxes have to be trimmed to code or is it more common just to roll up romex and tuck in box. Yes, I'm getting inspected.

For the vanity wires you should manor an S shape loop, much more better

Why are You running 12awg for lights?

How far is the cable supposed to be stapled away from the face of the stud so a drywall screw will not hit it?

Was the 12 gage wire a bulk cost thing or do you use it as your practice? I wish when we did condos and houses years back-don’t laugh coach- that we had pictures like you were saying. Avoiding lots of finger pointing etc. great video 👍

Unfortunately there are some inspectors in my area that will not pass a rough end if you do not have the vanity light in a box

I will staple my wire (that is to be pulled out) to the FRONT of the stud so whoever is hanging drywall they have to remove it to hang board...I works about 90% of the time...LOL

No 15 amp circuits ?

must be hourly electricianz

Haha, you're in one of those silly jurisdictions that doesn't allow 14-2 I assume?

Plumbing Top Out: Failed! Not one mid-story guide anywhere.
