Great job April! Last year I was adding an outlet in my kitchen to a wall that didn't have an outlet. I decided to add a pop-up outlet just like that under my dining room table. When you need it, it's EXTREMELY handy! And a clean look too! Well done! Get R done!

@scottsimpey2965 2 года назад

This was great to see April. My wife and I have wanted to put an outlet in our kitchen floor by an island counter that we bought several years ago. I think seeing this video just gave me the much needed motivation to finally get going on that project.

@thomascdurham9130 2 года назад

One reason to use removable suspended ceiling in basements and never sheetrock. I've run into issue of people wanting to add something electrical way too often after they had finished the basement.

@JT_70 2 года назад

Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive set of 33’ fiberglass glow sticks (fish rods) that work great for fishing wires in situations like this. Mine have been invaluable. Love all your videos April!

@keithlmayersjr3669 2 года назад

well thats 50$ probably never need them again and ive used pex in a pinch works just as good.

@thebestblainejohnson 2 года назад

Sheathed cable IS permitted to be run exposed on surfaces or inside cabinets, etc. If subject to direct physical damage then it requires supplemental protection. The term "subject to physical damage" is not defined by the NEC so it becomes an interpretative issue. Exposed cable is very common in this scenario.

@brianpimental2948 2 года назад

The cable is susceptible to damage. Also when you add to an existing circuit it needs to be Arcfault protected. I do like the creative aspects.

@keithlmayersjr3669 2 года назад

mc cable is what u use, you putting anything in the cabinet subjects it too damage. 2nd you cant run a liv room plug or anything off the 2 required small appliance circuits in the kitchen. if were being legal and what not.

@papageorgiola 2 года назад

Ah yes. Follow April for the IDEA, don't follow for the direction. Hire an electrician that knows the code so you don't die.

@steveloux4709 2 года назад

@@keithlmayersjr3669 Yep. Had the same reaction. She honestly did a great job with the installation. If only she had an electrician friend to recommend the MC cable and steer her toward acquiring the circuit from anything other than the required dedicated circuits of a dwelling unit.

@LucasTimmons 2 года назад

Hi April. When you build the cabinet for the turntable you should find a way to isolate the table from the vibration that the speakers cause. That vibration can mess up the playback / damage your records from a bouncing stylus.

@gc9111 2 года назад

use hockey pucks to lift/isolate the turntable away from the table top/shelf

@StephenWolver 2 года назад

Couple things. Not sure about the NEC, but in Canada, kitchen outlets are intended only for kitchens. The other using a reciprocating saw to cut through the subfloor isn't a good idea, as plumbers can run pex pipe anywhere, and you won't feel it if cutting through it.

@louroberts5567 2 года назад

😀👍Very cool! Love how much you enjoy yourself while doing these projects. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

@yarivg 2 года назад

I have found the easiest way for me to run a line anywhere that there is enough room in a hollow wall or in the subfloor is with a vacume cleaner to guide a delicate string from one hole to the next and then use the string to pull your main line.

I have an 8 foot 3/4” pvc pipe that I have used to feed wire through, and 14/2 Romex feeds perfectly through it! Also, the receptacle you used is 20a (which is fine if you’re running this from a 20a breaker, but NOT ok if running from a 15a breaker, for those who might be thinking about picking one of those up for their home!)

Having a new home built. The builder stopped offering an outlet in the center of the family room. Slab on grade. After we move in AND we still want the added outlet - pull up the LVP and cut a path from the wall to the location. Gonna be a job but what the hell, right?
