FYI: when capturing video with your cellphone ALWAYS hold it horizontal. Notice, every TV, Computer monitor, movie theater screen, and the like are all orientated horizontal as in landscape. When the cellphone video is captured vertical (portrait mode) it is as though we are looking through a keyhole or wearing horse blinders, and the left and right of your video is cut off. Remember, if you used a regular camera for video capture you would never consider turning it vertical as it would not make sense.

My house was built in 1920 and is all knob and tube. We had to remodel the back room down to the foundation and built up to current code. Is there anyway to just put the new wires into the a sub box coming off the knob and time breaker box?

As an apprentice i listen to your videos and take your advice. But you gotta start talking abt more things then just knob and tube. Its a bit redundant. Still like your channel though 💪🏽

Each property is for the homeowner to see the progress of their rewire, but I’ll make additional videos as well. Thanks for the input.

My home was built in 1926 and the entire house is BX wiring. So to say “if your house was built before 1930, its knob and tube” is misleading.

@DonaldMillerElectric 3 года назад
Bx wiring is as dangerous, maybe even more dangerous than knob and tube wiring. Whole house bx wiring didn’t become popular until after 1930, but there are always outliers to the average. Electricians worked differently in different areas, but I base my statements on the timeline of history and when knob and tube was phased out. Thanks for your input.

How much to charge for labor if the customer is buying the material for a 2100 sqft knob and tube rewire?
@DonaldMillerElectric
@DonaldMillerElectric 2 года назад
How good is the labor. Quality dictates price. Precision cut and repaired plaster requires skilled hands, where smash and go rewires requires nothing more than a drug addict. Quality of work is the main factor in price and needs to be discussed before work can begin.

@@DonaldMillerElectric I'm all about quality. I'm going to try to not even cut holes. I just know this job is going to be a beast and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot nor overcharge.

@@jaysmith7526 It’s always best to charge less while you learn. It puts less stress on you to perform and allows you to figure out what’s the best quality for each problem. My first rewire took me 4 weeks by myself, I charged a low enough rate I could take my time and really absorb truly great trade practices. Don’t make it about money, make it about learning. You will be so much happier with the quality you produced for the homeowner.

@@jaysmith7526 It doesn’t matter how much experience you have in other areas of the field, a rewire is a completely different animal. I train guys with 20+ years experience and they still have a learning curve to deal with in the beginning. If you don’t know what to charge when it comes to rewires then you need to see what your production rate is. There is no flat rate of compensation
