New Garage Outlet From Panel--VERY DETAILED! (New Circuit / GFCI / Breaker Box / FULL INSTALL!)

hey everybody Ethan James with the honest carpenter calm in this video I teamed up once again with Harrison peacock of CCS Triangle Electric in Wake Forest North Carolina and here Harrison is going to demonstrate for us how to install a new GFCI outlet on a new circuit from the panel in a garage now before we get going two very important things to keep in mind number one Harrison is a professional licensed electrician this video is for demonstration purposes only if you are not a licensed electrician if you're not fully confident in your skills to do this work please do not tackle this on your own certainly don't do it without the supervision of a professional electrician any work you undertake is at your own risk number two we did this installation using shielded metal clad cable the stuff that you see behind me this isn't something that Harrison typically uses he doesn't really like this product it can be hard to make it look good and his work is always of a really high aesthetic professional value but it's a good budget product it's code compliant and we're only in a garage here and aesthetics didn't really matter to us as much so we did it as a favor I think it makes a good instructional video because a lot of people in our situation looking to keep cost down metal clad cable can serve just as well thanks for doing it for us Harrison and that's what we're gonna show in this video metal clad cable now that's it I'm gonna switch over and let Harrison take the narration from here this is a longer video this is a very detailed installation process so follow along step-by-step and you're gonna see exactly how this is done by a great professional like Harrison at CCS triangle electric hey guys this is Harrison peacock the electrician from CCS triangle working with Jana carpenter today we're going to be talking about installing a new circuit in the garage here new 20 amp circuit for an additional receptacle and changing a light now first of all we're going to start at the panel itself here and then we check the brand of panel that's going to be in I'm going to working from this particular brand is eating it's the CH so it's good quality I can see that I have additional spaces so I can add additional circuit breakers I want a lot of times when people start to want to add circuits you have to assess the situation is the brand of panel I've got good condition does it have the spaces I mean available to do this installation and I'm going to be overloading the panel which can get a little bit too technical and it's not something to worry too much about in dwelling units as long as you don't see any overheating inside of the panel okay so first of all we're going to be installing our new circuit we're gonna be using MC wire which we have here this is rated for surface installation so although this isn't going to be the neatest looking work is going to be the most cost efficient and the easiest to install so well wire here that we're going to approve install it's going to be strapped to the ceiling we're gonna go up as straight as possible along around sides here and then we're gonna keep going round we're gonna come directly down to our box where we're going to install a GFI rated receptacle as we're in a garage location which requires there has GFI protection and that's also a 20 amp circuit not a 15 first of all we're gonna open up the panel and we're going to make sure that there the inside of it is in good condition and that's acceptable for us to install an additional circuit making sure we've got hold of the panel as well swing it good this is a metal cover we don't want the metal cover inadvertently touching any of the live components inside [Music] now as we can see inside we want to make sure that it's following code there are no issues that we can see that the actual color of the busbar is in good condition there's no evidence of overheating we don't see any burning on our neutrals or our grounds we want to make sure that we don't have double connections on the neutral which is unacceptable and that our grounds are in good condition we're also checking as we're going to be installing well here our junction box which our MC will mount into and then our Y will go into the back of that well we install this box there is no danger of a wire being there for us to drill and hit as we're doing this I'm a simpler easier way to do this would be fall otherwise go down which they don't unfortunately all go from above so as I do this I want to make sure that the screws like you use I've never hit any of the wires that as I've gone up itself and I install the straps for this wire I'm not going to hit anything existing and I'm being safe as possible to make sure they don't damage any of the existing installation so I'm just knocking out these parts here yeah they come with standard knockouts we've got 1/2 inch we've got 3/4 inch depending on what you're going to install or how you're gonna use it you do have spacing allowances on anything installed in terms of wires and we've done a spacing calculations and we know that we're going to be good on doing one 12 1 20 amp circuit with number 12 wire so what we've done here is taken the knockout from the above of where the emcee was going to come out and then we've taken the back out of where it's gonna go into the panel itself then I'm gonna take my marker I've taken a look at the wires here so as we can see there's a lot being used on this side and there's less this so I've got a small space here that I'm going to select to put my box above so that would give ourselves a good amount of space for pulling the additional wire so I'm just gonna line up this hole here with the hole that I intend to use below I'm gonna get myself a good amount of space cuz the lip of the panel is gonna come about here so we don't want to get a too close I'm just gonna mark where it's gonna go get myself a mark of we're gonna install my sheetrock screws and then we're gonna be good to go you know where we're gonna be putting our hole here we don't really want to be drilling because if we slip and go through we can hit one of the existing wires and it can go the way that we don't want it to so we're gonna do here is just chisel and hammer twist and then we've made our hole now I need this hole too big enough to hold my romex connector so it needs to be larger than the hole that we've got in our box then we're gonna take our romex connector here and this I'm gonna screw on cuz it's a better connection you get better hold the actual screws work better now you can do machine screw I mean if you want to get a set of grips on there to hold it in that's fine but there's no movement there and then I've got the screws ready as well to hold up romex on what we're gonna do with this is we're actually gonna change it so we're gonna have the MC wire come in from above and then we're gonna have romex come through and into the panel itself so we're going to have connections in here the reason we're doing that is it's gonna be difficult to get a bend of MC in the short distance that we have it's going to be harder to get an MC connector in some people if they wanted to do this quicker or make it not look as quite attractive if they could just get the MC itself and then in and get it directly through but it's gonna be hard to make it look neat here to actually seal it round so we go with the junction box itself to sit there for the wire to connect into then as always this is slightly bigger so we just need to make our hole larger so that we can fit the connector through and now that got our initial hole we can move to our sheetrock knife pads or whatever you want to call it depending on what country you're in and again would be really like we're doing this so we're just using the tip here you don't start showing the whole thing in because there's why's there you need to be very careful a lot of people can use electric tools or you can use skilled swords or multi tools personally I think it's a bit too much power for the situation you're in I think classic is always the best way to go you've got a lot more control a lot less risk of hitting something that is behind this wall in the location we're working [Music] square you can see our installation we can see we've got a good bit of clearance we're not touching any wires we haven't damaged any wires and we're good to keep moving forward we see holes we might before is still correct drywall anchors to make sure that the box gets held in place so again we just apply pressure if you over tighten those you'll tear the sheetrock that would be the sheetrock broken and then you've got to relocate when you've done the work we've got repair the sheetrock so you only get one chance make sure you do not over tighten because then it's broken and that's it you've gotta start somewhere else we're gonna tap the actual knock out itself so below here we see that that's the one we intend to get our wire into obviously we're being very careful as we zoom out we see that these parts are live constantly unless we turn the entire panel off which if you're doing this for yourself I highly recommend if you're a skilled person with lots of experience then you're more comfortable screwdrivers should be touching where that knockout is one hit if you zoom this you see what we come through so with that lovely room it's plastic diamonds connect to a frustrating you're not going through the way we wanted it to we're going to change it to metal and get it on it's gonna be a better connection anyway channellocks yes sir good to go giving ourselves enough length then we stripped this it's gonna be enough to go to the ground to our Neutral and then to the location where we're going to put the circuit breaker in to as well so we're just going to tighten it not over tightening it over tighten it then we're gonna pinch the wires and you're gonna create a short and the circuit breakers gonna do its job and trip and you're gonna wonder why one of the best calls that I get quite frequently from people is them telling me that their circuit breaker is tripping they think it's broken and then it needs to be replaced when in actuality it's tripped because it's doing its job and it's protecting a circuit [Music] now as we're using a metal box we have to have our ground screw attached to the box itself so that when we do this even though it's only being used as a junction we still need to ground it so I'm going to strip this wire wrap the brown round it and then we're going to connect them together as many masses to strip wire this is my particular favorite I put a Knick into the wire itself here separated the ground attached by the cutters there are lots of different tools you can use lots of different methods I know there are certain people who are going to look at this and call me unprofessional for the way that I've done it but this is the way I've done it for 17 years I think you can get mature tools that make it look a bit neater I try and keep it as flat as possible so we're just trimming away there to make sure it's stripped correctly and all the way back you don't want to have the second insulation up here it needs to be stripped right to the back then we're gonna pull these down this wire here we're just gonna wrap right around that screw keeping it nice and tight not loose good connection and we're happy with it and that box is now grounded so this here is our MC you can see on their package itself it says the wire gauge is number 12 which is rated for a 20 amp breaker if you want to get technical start talking about 80 percent or doing a temperature ratings or the insulation rating is you can go very much into detail but we're keeping things simple number 12 on a 20 amp breaker for independent circuit we're good to go there are lots of different tools you can get out there or pieces of equipment that help run these now where you can sit them and actually roll them out me personally we're doing a job such as this and then just start putting out what I will do is get myself one of the lengths on here to hold in place with all wires you want them to be as straight as possible and he kinks any twists there potential for the wires inside of it to twist or to break for the other installations to snap then if they touch it creates a short and the breaker trips and you've got more issues so keeping the wire as straight as possible is the key to making sure that you don't have further issues it's gonna be easier for us to install so as we see here the best way to cut MC itself is you actually take it by the parts you bend it where you want it and it will break as we see there and then you just give it a pull on the other side it breaks there and because it's twisted round you untwist it to give ourselves an opening set of cutters there are different specific tools that are designed to clamp onto this and cut into it but we're using simple tools because we're working at home so we just our cutters that go into there which have now broken it as we see that slots off we just want to meet in this up is about this a bit here so we're just gonna bend it back in push it making sure not to clamp too tightly because we don't want to damage the inside wire and then we're gonna put our protector on which will then make sure that the insulated wires can't be damaged by the outer shell I've got this protection here we'll just cut back to make neat you know connector which we screw on not too tightly but slight enough to hold it in place now have our wire terminated our connector on good a box installed a hole ready so we're gonna slot this wire itself through personally I want to get the screw front facing I think it looks neater more professional and then we're gonna want to purse strap within six inches personally I want to get as close as possible so we're gonna have a strap there and again we're still mounted to sheetrock so we want to use our sheetrock screws so I'm just going to punch a small hole through so I know where I need to put the sheetrock connector through you're gonna hang that safely for a second just gonna call it there so it can't snap fall out or get in any way that we won't be nervous about got another one of our she Rock connectors perfect level of tightness we want we don't go too tight or too loose then we've got our half inch bushing so we've got MCS going in pushing slots on to the wire screws on we're going to make sure that this is on an in place I'm gonna tighten that up with grips in a second but for now I want to screw it in place first making sure we don't over tighten we've got it in place channel locks and go back and make sure it's held tightly in place yes now what we're gonna do that we have these in place we are gonna join our wires together now as you see I haven't made the connections in the panel yet this is gonna be the last thing that we do because that's gonna be the connection to our power itself so we've got our connection in starting in the panel I've got a box on we've got our wire ready to go to our receptacle we're gonna make our junction here so we're moving starting at the panel moving away from it but not actually connecting to the panel because we don't want to have power until the very last moment it's the last thing that we need as we're doing our installation we want to one of the greatest arguments the electricians currently have at the moment is what we terminate our connections with personally today I'll be using wire nuts these are rated for number 12 you also have wagos and they are a push connection personally I don't like anything that has push connections to them I don't trust them lots of other people will disagree with me and say that I'm wrong and on this is personal opinion I prefer the machine connection of them being together the reason I don't like why nuts is that because I have to twist the wires together you can damage the integrity of the wire so what we may find when we're doing why nots is that if you strip the wire itself a bit too much with this example we're going to show you here and as we start this making sure many of these terminations should have a minimum of six inches so we want to make sure you've got good length lots of people do then way too short we won't want to do that we want to make sure we've got a good amount of length so we have movement so I'm going to give it roughly a little bit over six inches we're just going to cut this one here for example we're gonna measure our other wire that we're doing together at the same length and cut them together as we can see we've got one sheet than one unsheathed because we're using different wires and all I'm doing with this I have my cutters I'm gonna apply a small amount of pressure to a part turn it apply for another pressure turn it and then move around again so I've just stripped that and then pull away now with Y nuts a lot of people will just hold them together such as this add the wire and screw on that's not thing that we will be doing not professional I don't think personally I will be twisting them together with my side cultures so we're just going to twist it and then we can see here that there's different lengths which will make it harder for the lineup to connect so we're just going to cut them to the same length like that and then we're gonna twist our Y not on making sure that it's good and then you want to give it a pull on both sides to make sure that it's in there correctly and that connection has been made that's ground-to-ground do the same again with live in the neutral what's the difference between white and black one hurts a lot more than the other neutrals you return black is your life so that sir their current travels three you'll be really careful you say these explanations cuz people will argue with you constantly and we love a good argument electrician's very particular about the correctly with own words that we use black supplies with our white takes it away exactly as you returned but white is grounded conductor and then black is your life conductor or phase if you're in England so we've got our connections there neat that's how we like our boxes and then we can actually put the blank plate over as we've connections so one of the issues with MC we're not really an issue in terms of aesthetics or making it look attractive the way that it is it's very flimsy it's very flexible so it's difficult to make it look straight to make it look attractive and neat that's why personally I'd rather be doing this in PVC conjuror but this is the simplest easiest thing to do so we're just doing a demonstration on how to use MC today and as you can see here the actual paint itself MC you have to be very careful with because it will strip the paint carefully quite easily apologies for the wrong words there so this is going to cover it the only reason we mentioned this now is if you for some reason knock this against the wall or you pull against something it will strip all the pain the actual metal colour itself will rub off on things to be careful as you're doing this installation so you don't create issues where you make marks that you then have to paint over so you're gonna be really aiming regenitive say we've done it three and a quarter inches we want to do three and a quarter at the top and then we measure our difference to make it look beautiful twenty nine and a half which we divide by two yeah strap in place where we've marked it [Music] now we've got the issue of trying to curve it to make it look neat and keep it straight and now that we're up high we don't need our sheetrock screws anymore because we have a stud to screw into and we're gonna screw around so we're done with using our sheetrock screws you can go directly just a straight away follow the top layer so what I did was I just applied my finger here and one part there move my finger there but another part move my finger across to two more and again to give us that better bending radius because we don't want to be too sharp to avoid kinks as well as we can see here we've got slight dip what we're doing is we're doing these each connection each strap that we install we're holding the wire and we're pulling it not super tight not really hard we're giving it some tension so when you put the next strap in it's being held tight as possible otherwise we're gonna have lots of loose dips as been doing it through so now we're going back into the wall when you don't shoot drywall screws just gonna get some more of those then our box it's the height we want we've got our installed we're just gonna see roughly work goes to my finger there on my measurement that's the length I want the connector to come to I'm gonna give myself eight to nine inches of additional wire bracelet like I did before twist and pull I'm just gonna cut it there so we haven't put any straps into the actual wall itself yet what we're gonna do is we're gonna terminate the wire mount it to the box screw that to the wall and then we're going to strap what's left because we can lose a little bit of the movement that we have here up the wall to try and keep it straight and we want to make sure that yeah your connection to the box is solid and tight we've got a measurement here we'll move it round their back making sure I don't cut any of my insulators very neat so we're gonna strip a bit more off that our protector on there's lots of different names for these things so I'm trying to keep it as vague as possible so yeah avoid the negative comments yeah pushing on slot connector over and you see how it got red coming through there so we know that it's mounted slightly along again not too loose but not too tight right if you see here you see it pushing me if they hold in place tensioners exactly but we can see that the actual metal itself hasn't like pushed in it's just held in place exactly I'm gonna look at our box if we're gonna get real personal I like to have the ground connection we're going to put a screw for protecting the box bottom left but we've got a three quarter inch hole there so I'm gonna have to turn it over let's do it this one here so now it's gonna be top left like before it's all here tap in there so we get a slight break push in twist off and it's slot on screw facing out so it looks a neat professional we want to make sure that wherever amounting these two if we're using these drywall screws that there isn't wood in the way because otherwise they're not going to mount in and terminate correctly they're just gonna come out the sheetrock is gonna bust and you're not gonna need these because there's wood behind we can see it's more likely this stud here or this might just be from Irish shale was installed before if you have a stud finder and you want to mount the box to a start it's going to give you a better solid connection mounting it in terms of the screws you're using but we're still gonna go with drywall anchors today we're using a metal box and what we need to do is make sure that this stays grounded so what I'm gonna do here just give myself a little bit of coil I'm gonna measure where I want to wrap this obviously it's insulated so I'm just gonna strip some of it like it's enough in the knife exactly make sure you don't do it too hard don't push too hard and actually nickel damaged the copper itself you just want to get rid of the insulation so it's very easy to get excited maybe you've got brand new tools that are a little bit too sharp you don't want to damage the copper because if you put an indent on the copper and then you bend it too much the thing will just snap and you'll have to rework it make sure got six inches length am I gonna strip our wires now well as we can see here on the back of this particular GFI it has line side and it has loan side now load side is if you decide that you're going to install more than one receptacle protected by this particular GFI we're only doing this as a dedicated circuit so we're going to put our live into our hot there black into hot versus hot white into white where it says white and then I'll one ground into there without green that's great correct well every barber said yes so they all have to be GFI protected in the garage kitchen bathrooms anyway that's considered a wet location outside you can have one GFI receptacle that can protect all of them which you'll find on new builds personally I'm not a fan of that for multiple reasons if everything is protected by one GFI receptacle and you have any issues where something start to trip that one GFI is going to trip and you're not going to know what's causing it a trip with all the houses a service that I personally offer is replacing receptacles and altering circuits so that you have multiple GFI receptacles in these different locations so that if something's plugged into it that's causing it to trip it only trips that one receptacle rather than losing power to everything else so that's one of the things that I recommended in a service that I actually provide when I make sure that we don't lose these little bits and they don't go everywhere and oppressions have a reputation of not cleaning up after themselves so I'd like to make sure that I keep all of mine together so that I can throw them away later on now you see the length that we've stripped it to we want to make sure that when we're installing this there is no exposed copper so if you strip too much and you see exposed copper there that's not good it means it can touch something else it can spark it can cause a shorts and then it will trip you want to strip it just enough that when you poke it in there is no exposed copper whatsoever no tying it as good connection as well and then make sure you can pull it and it doesn't come out sometimes it will be a bit loose sometimes you might have made a mistake you always want to give it a tug to make sure it can't come out and don't be afraid to give it a tug to make sure as well and then we're going to do the same with our neutral or ungrounded conductor exactly normally you'll find that the white and the green and next to each other and the black are further away so you see how we've got a green there next to our white and then I'll black further away what other people also do quite frequently is that they'll buy one brand of GFI that has been one way and then they try and do things exactly the same rather than read the instructions from the back and then it doesn't work because they put the main power or the light line side into the load which means it doesn't work correctly and then I get a call to come and fix it so another thing to be aware of so take your brand check your brand exactly correct I'm gonna do this upside down because we have this little bit here and we want to make gravity our friend and keep it down to this slots in to get the ground in and then I'm going to twist it so now it's slotted in and you want to make sure it's a solid tight connection and then we're gonna use these screws to mount it to this plate so we need to remove the existing screws that were supplied with and also these come as standard to go inside and this metal plate here is actually going to stick over it so we have to do a little bit modification if you zoom in here you see these little bricks here yeah they can actually be bent off so we're just gonna twist twist twist exactly and the plate won't go on properly and then the top parts as well it's got a nut on the back so I've got my finger on the back holding the nut in place as I just do this if you want to get very particular which lot of electricians do we want to make sure that the screw is facing upwards and not flat if you're in England they want it flat if you're in America you want up just aesthetics it's something people are very particular about things that electricians love to argue about on their solid and see what we've done here is well if you turn to the side we bent the wires to make sure they would go in you want to make sure that the green is clear of the white and the black make sure you still got solid connections yeah and there's nothing's being pinched we have anything pinching it was short and now we have issues as well it's connect up in the panel power circuit breaker in turn it on test to make sure it works okay so now what we need to do is connect our wire now that we've done everything else into the panel itself so again using the same trick that I used before one into the middle pull our ground wire out fingers hold on pull up making sure to be very careful not to touch any live components inside the panel I don't know why there is paper inside of this wire a thing that conducts heat and electricity but apparently there needs to be so we have to be careful to make sure that goes out of the way strip off conductors and then we have it then we're gonna start with our ground wire first now as you can see the person who did this panel had it all lovely and neat and so I want to try and keep it similar as much as possible you don't need to do this this is just me being anal what I'm gonna do is just measure it so I'm gonna put a finger up to the top here and then I'm gonna measure it down then I'm gonna see where the screw want to go is so I'm going to put kicking it then I'm going to measure it slightly and I'm being really careful to make sure that as this comes here I'm not touching the live components which are just inches away right there now I've got my measurement I'm gonna cut for where I want it to be get rid of my excess I'm gonna pull that kink back out just for a second so it's straight and then I'm going to fish it behind the other wires you don't have to do this but I would like to so it looks somewhat neater so what kind of we have 120 volts and 240 so we have phase a and phase B across them is 240 from each one to our grounded or our ground conductors is 120 volts they say you know how good an electrician is for the last time they were electrocuted and I can say quite proud I don't remember the last time I got a shock so the secret to that is whenever you working on anything always make sure you got your tester don't trust it too much just check your power to make sure when you're working on things it's live and then once you want to do is check to make sure even if it comes off even if you test something it says it's off you need an own power supply to test it against to make sure that this is telling you the truth now that we've got our wire for the ground pulled through it's hidden I can put my kink back into it and I can push it through I want to make sure that I'm not pushing way too much through here so I've just got the tiniest little bit on the other side to see it through and then I hold it in place I'm gonna do it as tight as I can and then I want to give it a pull to make sure it's not loose which it isn't we've got this particular panel here if you want to zoom out a touch we have our neutrals or our ground a conductor our grounds separate what you can find in other panels depending is where these are actually joined together in the same bar so knowing your panel is very important if you feel uncomfortable if you are not sure what's going on always call a licensed contractor don't do things that you're not sure confident on just make sure that you're staying safe as well there are a lot of codes when it comes to panels some panels are allowed to have your neutrals and your grounds together if the meter base is within 5 feet or if it's back-to-back we can get into some very complicated code details quite quickly so just make sure that when you doing this you're staying safe you can touch anything on the ground here I'm grounded but don't touch the bar with the breakers that would always be live okay so now I've got our ground in these very live wires very gently to make sure that we don't break the insulation and give ourselves the shock and again I'm just gonna put my wire up measure it roughly so that it's similar to what I already have to measure it to where I'm comfortable cut my excess and then again me personally I'm just gonna put it behind these wires here so I would suggest if you're gonna play with wires such as this that you turn these circuits off I'm not doing that at the moment so try not to judge me too badly and I'm gonna strip my wire again not too much and I'm not applying too much pressure if I apply too much pressure when I strip this I'm gonna cause a Knick and then when I move it it may snap and then we're going to have no connection that's gonna go behind here I put my bend into it screw it as tight as we can give it a little pull to make sure good I'm gonna put these wires back to where they were we've got a neutral in our ground in now it's time for our circuit breaker as I said knowing your panel is always important I know that this is a CH breaker because it's a CH panel you can actually tell by the color to make sure it matches it is against code to install a different brand breaker to the brand of panel that you have and also it's probably not gonna fit so we can see on this particular brand here that we're gonna have this that slots in to what groove there I can show you on this one so it's easier so it holds there and then we're gonna have these parts that slot onto the buzz bar itself to give it power so now what we're gonna do is click this in well first we're gonna make sure it's turned off which it is you can see where it says off we're gonna slot it in push and then it's connected on that's all we needed to do for that then we got a live wire and again as before and measure cut our excess strip not too much we don't want to cut too much because again we do want to make sure there's no exposed copper so just the smallest amount what do you think that looks like half an inch yeah and we've made sure before that's how we do it as we see there that it's open for the wire to go in okay so you see as we screw it it closes you want to make sure it's nice and open and easy to terminate the wire into click that back on sometimes it's easy to slot it into the wrong part this is the most important one obviously the one you need to be the safest on they sure it's tight as tight as we can get it and let me put it to make sure it's so tight that the break will come out before the wire itself which is what we want and we turn it on and now we go to see if a receptacle is working so with this particular brand of GFI she's gonna push it in and we can see that it's held so now I've got a tester in as we can see the two lights are on and the tester itself will tell you the correct wiring and we can see the bottom there are correct wiring means that these two lights are on so we plug it in and so under what circumstances will this trip or will what actually do to make sure that it's functioning correctly this tester itself has a test button to put a fault con on it and make sure their trips gotcha if water gets into electricity this is its whole function if water and electricity get into contact with each other it will trip install our breakup we've tested our circuit and we know it's good we can see that we have installed the new circuit breaker bottom left here so we need to remove this which we just take our grips on and Bend a few times it comes off so we now have our opening for the breaker you also need to label it garage GFI receptacle back wall back wall sounds good back and then reinstall our power cover put their screws at the bottom there be extra careful when you put this back on again metal cover make sure that when you put it on you don't accidentally push any of the test buttons and turn some power off people don't like it when that happens and then we're gonna hold it in place line up our screws I'm just gonna do it half so that it's on there and holding it so that I don't pin it too much I still have some movement for the other screws I need to install this particular panel wasn't installed amazingly because the bottom left of it sticking out of the sheetrock a bit so it's gonna be difficult well it it will make it look as as good as it did when it was first installed go new suck installed turned on labeled working receptacles done you're good to go it's great [Music] so we've shown you today how we would do an installation of this sort I am a licensed contractor in the state of North Carolina I've been doing this for 17 years I'm very comfortable working in panels I highly recommend anyone who doesn't have a license or is unskilled to not go ahead and work inside of a panel such as this there is a lot of risk there is it very easy for you to get hurt very easy for you to cause damage to any of the existing electrical installation but this is a DIY video on how to approach these topics if you're qualified to do so or just for your information basically exactly all right thanks thank you [Music]
