Would like to REPLACE one with just a switch for an over the mirror light bar, and REPLACE the other side with JUST an outlet . Possible video for either ?? Thank you.

Thank you. Two questions: do you have to ground the box as well in this case or it’s made of a non conductor material? The other question is: it looks as you cut the wires less than 6 inches from the box …. How long is the minimum? Thanks

I bought a roll of thhn 12 awg wire that I use for ground pigtails. The less bare wire, the better imo. The other thing I like is to use stranded pigtail wire on commercial receptacles with wagos.

Very nicely done. I'm in a apartment, it was a garage conversion and the electric is a mess. They pushed all the wires in the backs of terminals. One day I came home. I hit the switch for the ceiling fan and heard a big pop. And both the outlet and switch blew out. Now I have no ceiling fan. I open up the box and now not sure what wire is off. It's a metal box and not sure what's wrong or right

Did you ever make the video going from a receptacle box to switch? There's a room i'm working on that has 2 heavy duty receptacles GFCI, & a ceiling fan, before i rip their wall apart to confirm that one was actually a light switch previously, I was thinking if it wasn't i could just piggy tail the light in & just replace the GFCI with a light switch or do it side by side like you are, which didn't occur to me at first. Idk what do you think about my theory? 11:02 & yup the one i'm doing atm is a tabbed blue box that came out of the wall it is extremely old though. Might as well update the light & make a switch while i'm at it.

There was a change in code where now the ‘norm’ is to have the hot and the neutral in the switch or receptacle. Then it’s easy to pigtail those to a new receptacle. If this is what you have, then you’re good to go. Wago nuts are really convenient for a DIYer.
