Bro. Thanks for the straight to the point with a white board. Im so sick of these Hollywood pansies and their stupid intros, music and life story before explaining anything that doesn't actually makes sense. Appreciate you bro.
I have two different three-way switches. The black common is by itself on one of them and on the other it’s not by itself. Not sure what to do in this case.
@@Otho1001 is the second one feeding another switch or outlet? Is it pig tailed or are both wires hooked to switch? With some more info I could be better able to give you an answer
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 no nothing like that, I have two switches, but the terminals are configured differently on each of them. The top brass screw is on the left on one of them and on the right on the other. In the video it says to attach to the screw that is alone on one side. On one switch there is a brass screw that is alone and on the other switch there is the black common screw that is alone.
Red is the worst color to use for teaching. It is one of the hardest colors to see for any kind of vision problems, Especially if someone has colorblindness. Please consider using black or navy blue on a white board.
Hi. We have a 1960s house and we removed the first floor floorboards and saw that the cross bridging is barely touching the joists in some cases and is the cross bridges are not nailed to the joists. We have access only from the floor abone and not from level below. What can we do? Shold we try and screw them into the joists top and bottom however we can but just from the top (as we do not have access from below) Any advice?
@@nicholasalteri3144 it is possible but not likely. If the joist is to small for the distance it is spanning they could put bearing wall below it but normally they would just use shorter joists.

@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 I need to run cables from basement, up into walls of home. I need to retrofit for network cabling in different areas of house and security cameras.
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 I'm seeing 2 of them. And they are FANTASTIC pieces of information. However, as 1) They are Vertical, and 2 the 1st & 2nd floor walls which provide access to the rooms are above them, I am afraid that their vertical orientation (leaving very little area to drill into without possibly introducing severe structural degradation by drilling down from the wall above)... I thought that I should check with someone more experienced.
Thanks! How do you decide when to combine two wires while keeping one longer and running it through the wire nut (like you did the grounds) vs using a pigtail?
@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 thanks, it also later occurred to me that the nut with the hole is really just a tool for bare grounds and isn't compatible with sheathed wire.
Larry Haun must be laughing his cotton socks off in heaven at this idea.Roofing there is only one King I would advise you watch his videos,good attempt but no prize.
@@Allegedly2right I have watched his videos. Most carpenters don't have trouble toe nailing but if you have taught high school kids you would know that most can't. This is a step to being a better at it.
I have I-joist for my subfloor and feel plenty of bounce and vibration in my house. Anything different cerning I joist vs dimensional lumber floor joist?
Thank you for the short and simple video. The cut ratios are very helpful as well as the finished pieces. YOU HEAR THAT YOU OTHER RU-vidRS. MAKE YOUR VIDEOS SHORT AND SIMPLE. AND LEAVE OUT THE SUPERBOWL-STYLE INTROS AND MERCH COMMERCIALS.
What size wood do you need for the blocking? I just noticed that my wall is not over the joist and i've been jacking a joist to try and fix the sag and now the sag is worse and i need to do some immediate stabilazation. I can definitely add in some blocking I'm just not sure if 2x4, 2x(what ever my joist is) or if 4x4 or 4x(whatever my joist is which would likely be 2 2xwhatever glued together
Guess it would be good for a DIYer, as most pros are looking to save on material. Unless you got a lot of scraps laying around (like unused cripple studs).
@@toc4177 the 1 is for the amount figured and the .2 is the wastage. So let's say you figure you need 10 yards, take 10 x 1.2 and get 12 yards. So you would order 12 yards. If 10% use 1.1, for 15% use 1.15, for 25% waste use 1.25 and so on.
In my neck of the woods this method is known as the dead end three way, and I've wired a good handful of these over the years, most commonly on remodel projects where I need to convert a single pole setup into a pair of three ways, sometimes with a 4 way included as well. Other times were in very long hallways on new construction in which the power feed and switch leg are located on the same end of the hall to to speak, I can save some wire. Note that as of 2011 with slight changes over the last 3 code cycles, an available neutral is required to be present in at least one of the switch boxs, because in this day and age, there are a wide variety of electronic switches requiring a neutral for standby power, whereas back in the 1970s when it was a common practice to run the power at light with a two wire switch loop, switches were a simple set of make and break contacts, so having said that the dead end three way method may or may not be code compliant depending on the situation as wel as the AHJ
@@christianmoya1150 from light box with power wire in it you can run a 12-3 to other light box. Use red wire as switch leg. From second light box send power to switch on white and bring back to light box on black as switch leg, hook to red wire as switch leg to other light.
i use an engineer's wheel on the ground ,, i draw out the roof giving the measurement for each side then use pitch factor,, if i have a 4 hip roof (rectangular shape )and across the front its 40 ft by 20 ft down the side will equal 800 sq ft ..If the pitch is a 5/12 ( pitch factor is 1.083),,so 800 x 1.083 = 866,,, being a hip roof (15%) for waste 866 x .15% = 129.. so..866 +129 =995 SQ FT ..I WOULD ROUND UP TO 10 SQ FOR THE ROOF ,, That includes starter and hip and ridge cap ..I did 2 roofs back to back and I wound up with 3 bundles left over total between the 2 roofs

@@timpalmer-logstolumber1999 you are welcome... kinda hard to explain without drawing it on a board.. makes it easy when the roof is cut up and too steep ..you can use this on house plans before the house is built too ...
Thank you for this educational video on load bearing wall. From the many I have watched on RU-vid none comes close to your video explaining this subject 👍. You have just taught me a lot 👍
You didn't explain why the breakers have to be side-by-side, which is so that the shared neutral is not overloaded due to the two hots being on the same phase. You did say the breakers need to be side-by-side (adjacent), which ensures that the two hots are on different phases so as not to overload the neutral.
I understand that America has used this imperial system that the British forced on them ,but most countries in the world except I believe Liberia,Myanmar and America have ditched this system.In 1947 Australia signed to metric but phased it in about 18 years from 1970 to 1988,so some of older people can understand both systems .Why keep using a system bases on foot and finger measurements when no one has the same foot or finger measurement as the standard ancient English man! Didn’t America kick the English foot soldiers out of the country in 1776 or thereabouts?Even the English have changed their gallon from the wine gallon measure the Americans got from them! Now if we in Australia could get rid of the constitution and governor general imposed still on us and take for example the American bill of rights I would be happy to accept that American advancement! 😊😊😊
@@josephstratti52 I think the reason for the U.S. not changing is cost. It would be expensive to convert to metric. Jimmy Carter tried to change to metric in the late 70s. It didn't work. The Canadians did it back in the 80s. They also stopped printing one dollar bills and went to coins. They also got rid of the penny. The metric system is so much easier. Maybe some day we will catch up with the rest of the world.
Excellent explanation thank you for this session: you just made it really easy to understand., I would like from you teacher to make a video on dadoes their names and the joint cuts, once again thanks
Great video. I do have a question though. When you bring your 12-3 to the box and split it off to say two bedrooms like you said, would you then stay with 12-2 or go to 14-2?
I've been looking for several months for a wiring video to explain how to run from existing power, to an outdoor light + outdoor receptacle, with two-way switches. Still haven't found exactly that setup but I'm hopeful!
Run a 12-2 from existing power to the switch box. From the switch box run a 12-3 to the second switch box. From second switch box run switch leg to the light. From first switch box run a 12-2 to the outlet. Make sure you use large single gang for first switch so all the wires fit. Ask question if you need more help.
I used this video and method to wire 2 wall sconces from one switch. Now I plan to wire 5 sconces from a dimmer. Can I use this same method and then daisy chain from light 2 to 3 to 4 to 5?
