On that third bath I typically pull off the base molding and cut holes below where they can be covered by the trim.

Now you just need to add a motion light switch so when you walk in bathroom it automatically turns on bathroom lights. Best part, turns off after 5 min when the kids forget to turn it off. I have them in all my bathrooms, pantry, garage and laundry. Life changing “hack” Love the videos. Keep it up

@brawlman 2 года назад

Nice presentation! Not sure how your attic space was for setup, but if accessable, you could have come off an existing outlet junction box drilled a hole through the wall plate/stud and fed your cable down, permitting any cross studs. In which you could create a small hole in drywall to use a spade bit with an extension and then feed the cable to outlet👍

Since I don't like to do drywall work, I would have removed the trim at the bottom of the wall and made my drywall cuts there. That way it's an easy drywall repair that gets covered up by the trim.

@DigitalArchmage 4 месяца назад

or run the power down the wall from the attic...

@juliaismailova1931 Год назад

Nice video, liked it, only one thing, I usually make only horizontal cut, because vertically it’s easy to fish wire inside the wall,in between studs

@curtisbme 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, the only reason to have made that vertical cut would have been because he was going to secure the romex within 12" of the box but he didn't do that (at either end). Could have simply pushed the wire down through the electrical box or used a fish. As it is, that vertical cut is a problem as he didn't do it in the middle of the stud so it is now a very weak joint (assuming he didn't use some wood backer). It is good to show people that this is something can do but this had multiple things folks should not imitate.

@catsmeow5566 Год назад

I don't have any outlets or switches close enough to divert to be near my toilet, but its a nice idea. I suppose I could run wires in the attic. I love the setup with the rubber "bungs" (which is what they are called on listings for their sale) because they stay tight and I don't have to constantly reach under the toilet to tighten nuts to keep my seat on tight. If they don't go in easily, sometimes you can put a little soap on them to make it easier.

@number1pappy Год назад

We just did a renovation of our guest bathroom. We added an outlet next to the toilet for a bidet and we also added a hot water stub out next to the cold water stub out for the toilet so the bidet would have hot water. Whats surprising to us is the local building code allowed both of these. The only downside to this was upgrading to 20 amp as it required running new 12 guage wire from the breaker box that is on the opposite side of our home. Yeah, that was expensive! Lol!

@joshuahaught4812 2 года назад

That was a lighting circuit you pulled off of which was on a 15 amp circuit (the cables going into the box were white), so 14-2 would have sufficed. The label on the panel was refering to the bathroom outlet. Another way you could have done it without sheetrock damage was drill up through the floor into the wall cavity from the crawl space (I know, I know, crawls blow, but just another approach for the homeowners that don't want to deal with sheetrock repair)

@tylerc3576 2 года назад

Flat slab, no crawl space..

@joshuahaught4812 2 года назад

@@tylerc3576 well, yeah, obviously if it's a slab it wont work out that way. But the majority of the country have crawls or basements, so I was giving a general suggestion.

@keithkohler3332 2 года назад

Nice easy tutorial. Another easy way to not have to fix wall is to remove baseboard and the drywall behind it. Then run the wires behind that. That way no need to patch the drywall, just need to replace the piece you cut out and cover it back up with baseboard

@rogerjones5280 2 года назад

That's a great idea, I may consider that for my install this week. In the interim. I'll just snake power round the corner as we have an outlet on the wall behind the toilet.

@ltbarkley Год назад

This is incredibly dangerous, do not do this. Without nail plates, someone could drive a nail through the electrical, and being so close to the floor any water spilled could get in/on the wires. This is fine for low voltage (like running a network cable) but not allowed for electrical!

@SJ-369 8 месяцев назад

The cuts all over your hands are signs of a great electrician! Seriously thanks for the informative video, I now have the confidence to put a power outlet into my bathroom, I was a little freaked out at first, but it should be a piece of cake. Questions : Why did you have to remove the old toilet to install the electrical connection? Answer (more room to work?)

To be totally honest I wasn't expecting this video lol. But actually it is very smart to have one. After the past 2 years of people thinking the worlds going to end, it would actually be good to have one. Now the question is will this be more when it comes to the water bill or not really ?

What to do if I have a flowtite push pull valve (fully plastic), which the hose attachment from bidet doesn’t connect, also the circuit in the garage is a 15 AMP? Should I use 15A outlet?

@RageQuitSon Год назад

This is how you use those wago style connectors instead of having to create a pig tail in a tiny 1 g box. With the wall open I would really try to use a new construction box but for a bidet you plug it in once and that's done, so no problem.

Question for anyone who has the knowledge. I installed a toilet but the closet flange was to low so I added a flange extender. I used a xl wax ring but it didn't feel secure so I used 2 wax rings and it feels solid. However, as I flush I hear a small dripping sound coming from the base of the toilet, where and what did I mess up?

@AndrewGBernhardt Год назад

Isn't there electrical code pretty much everywhere that says no outlet can be 36 inches from a water source?! The toilet has a water supply line. Isn't that outlet too close to the toilet?! Just curious.

If you have a basement or crawlspace there is no need to cut the sheetrock on the back side of the wall. You could simply go through the flooring between the wall and run the wire under the house. If you have a house built on a concrete slab then that is a different story.

I'm going to add an outlet in my main floor toilet room. Thankfully for me, the basement is in the process of being finished. And there's a bathroom close to under the main floor toilet - so when I do electrical for the basement, I can feed a wire up next to the main floor toilet. Thankfully, I'll have a really easy solution for my situation. :blessed:

@DigitalArchmage 4 месяца назад

I'm surprised about the hole... that was needed at all is a surprise (no mention about acess from crawlspace or attic by splicing into a line that's down/up there?). I'd avoid drywall repair if I could. Then I was surprised that you cut the hole horizontally AND vertically (the vertical part was unnecessary, gravity is your friend!). Then even though you had all that room on the other side of the wall, you still took the toilet out!. You could have created the new outlet's hole and installed the old-work box from the reverse side - you had *so much room for activities*. Wax rings on toilets are so easy to mess up... just, every step created extra work.
