Shed Wall Very Unstable - Big Shed Supply Install 

I like the common sense, intelligence and workmanship you apply to all your jobs. You're not big headed but down to earth. I like the format of the videos. You're probably the best electrician on RU-vid.

Couple of suggestions from my experience of working with 3 or 4mm wire rope, mostly for suspending Christmas lights etc: I loosen but don't dismantle the grips/clamps, put them on the single line to begin with, then make the loop and feed the second wire through. Mini ratchet and socket makes tightening up the grips/clamps a breeze. Also, I wrap PVC insulation tape around a ~5cm section of the wire rope before I cut it, then cutting the wire rope in the middle of the taped section, you're less likely to unravel/injure you straight away I've made assemblies for temporary use with letter/number cable markings over the loose end, and then clear shrink over the whole lot. The idea being they connect to the hook anchor with the same code the following year

Yip i particularly like the silenet part and show-your-work part. I certainly enjoy your commentary but I appreciate the balanced format. I have not done this for 30 years but it was good to see that mechanised saw to cut the cable.

Format worked well Nick. Very punchy with the short clips. Nice one

love the new editing style. Great work Nick!

As an apprentice i really liked this style of video so i could visually see the steps you take

Little advise from a lift mechanic on ropes and cables. Never saddle a deadhorse. The U shape should pinch the (dead)end. The sadle goes on the cable that is used. Put some tape around the cable before you cut it, the end won't fray.

The editing was very nice while you were performing various tasks. It shows the important bits very well and cuts down on the time required to convey the necessary information. It really gives a polished, professional vibe.

Videos are awesome lately love the short bits showing the work

Aluminium ferrule crimps make a much neater job for the catenary wire, I use them for my amateur radio wire antennas.

Really enjoy your vids and the format of them is on point. More rewires please!

I am enjoying the new approach and editing , very informative I like it ..thanks Nick ...

Just something I’ve noticed, probably would’ve been worth putting the Hook bracket on the outhouse end where the force is more in line, and the D/Loop bracket at the house end where the force is pulling sideways. Good work as always though.

Neck thing for POV - chefs kiss! Really good, more like that please

Nice job Nick. Would be a nice touch to put some metal fastenings on the catenary to stop the cable dropping off when the plastic zip ties snap with weathering. Love the channel.

Enjoyed your view of installation worked well.

Well done working on own again hope to see more of Adam when you get bigger jobs that need two persons

Liked the pov bit at the end. Well edited and had a eFIXX vibe to it. Assuming you don’t over use it, I’d enjoy seeing in future videos

I liked todays format fella.

nick i love your work with it being neat and tidy but i do hope the data cable is outdoor rated and shielded now that you have it running parallel to the mains.

Think I would have put a larger Wiska box for the CAT cables. The termination you mention for future cameras will be hard ( though probably more unsightly with a bigger box !)

In future flip the saddles so the bolts are to the live end of the wire as it allows for a more structural connection rather than saddling a dead horse

I like this format.

Did you use any metal cable ties on the catenary wire ?

Another awesome video Nick! The work in the editing really shines through. Cheers

U the best electrician I like , I always watch u videos

Another great video Nick beginning to miss Adam's Mum mentions 😅😊😂😅😊

Liked the tool change montage 👍

Lucky that joist was sticking out otherwise that'd would be quite ropey with the single skin brick. Good job!

Really like the POV with no talking (who doesn’t)

Great video and editing as always mate 👍

For short o/h runs like that I tend to do 25 or 32 conduit, but bending it to meet the boxes is 'fun'

great editing when you were putting that shed cu in

Hey Nick I see your had bother with the piece not ejecting from the holesaw. I think from looking at yours they are Armeg. I found sabrecut ones from Amazon work really well and do what supposed to do even after long time usage. They are about 42 set of 5 great value. Keep up the great work and videos.

We plate ( usually premed and fix to wall either side and seal for catenary fixings ( the roof can be tons in weight so much stronger than the wood ..

Great video, and at least you say it how it is. But between the house and the shed are you not meant to have some metal cable ties?

Personally I use stainless steel cables ties for the catenary wire, seen far to many plastic cable ties snap and fall off due to UV degradation & I would not want that honking great cable falling down. Nice work though.

Great video, I like the talking part.

Classic Bundy video ❤

Great video Nick ,you always get crtics but take it as constructive criticism and remember its you that is showing your work, jobs and methodology and others dont have onsite info that make you through your experience choose or give clients choices

Not sure what screws you use outdoors but I always use stainless. Anything that's outside and liable to exposure, stainless is the way. Grinds my gears when 12-18 months later, a good job starts to look poor when the screws are rusting...

I loved the POVs! 😏

Metal ties on the cat? Edit, nice vid 😂

Love this video style... you're a funny cnut, but I love more of the trade work!

Did it need to be armoured? What about NYY-J or even HO7-RNF with ferrules?

Good job Nic

Trick for stranded wire. Split into two then form loop by rewrapping

Nice and to the point 👌

Think the fixings , at either end , was minimum you can get away with....you always wonder with heavy cable !

Good video, I would've said perfect but you need to breath down the mic more 😜😂😂 Jokes aside, great format, enjoyed it! 😁

Can we all take a moment to morn the loss of Nicks sleeves. RIP

great video as normal Nick 👍was the cat cables in flexecon on the wire?

Always seems odd to me that 3 core SWA cable in England comes in the 3 phase colours here in Ireland 3 core SWA always comes in single phase colours brown, blue and green yellow because you cannot use 3 core SWA to feed a 3 phase supply unless you run a separate earth because the armourning has a low current rateing, the armourning of 16mm 3 core is only equal to 5mm in copper conductor.

Nice one.

9:56 can you say what all those cables are for ? 2 SWA and 2 small ones ...

What’s the bit case with the impact bits and the masonry bits?

"Never saddle a dead horse" with wire rope, also proper wire rope crimps/tools are dirt cheap these days and much easier to use.

Couldn't that cable be run underground?

Nice ! What is the brand or link for your drill bits hard case with the "v"

If you tape the catenary twice where you're gonna cut and then cut between, it stops the fray.

i saw those cracks and immediately thought NOOOO WHAT A SHIT JOB

morning why not bring cables out from the house nearer the corner?

I never liked that toilet seat anyway! 😂

like more showing and tips

that heat shrink might trap water

Nice

The "u bolts" are called dogs and the tensioner is called a turnbuckles..... The heat shrink is an absolute no no as it will retain water and promote corrosion unless all is stainless!

Wee tip - It's NOT called 'CAT cable' (Yes, I know other RU-vidrs call it that too). Data or Ethernet cable is a more generic term but its UTP or STP (or various types of FTP, SFTP, etc.) The 'CAT' part is the category like Cat (Category) 5E, 6, 6A, etc. And hopefully you are not installing Cat-5 these days, 5E would be the absolute minimum, 6 would be typical in domestic and most business, applications with 6A becoming more common for business and generally future proofing. Cat-7 is available but not very common or used in very specific applications. I work for an IT Infrustructure company in New Zealand and Cat-6A is generally our normal now days for our corporate customers or new buildings with Cat-6 still popular in smaller applications and additions. But installing data cabling is certainly worthwhile whereever possible as Wireless (WiFi) is not always suitable for many applications.

Why not just put a radon barrier in before the concrete. Never heard of placing pipes in to take it away

That look hideous on external wall! If your going to expense of solar then a little ground work is peanuts to duct it. If you cant do a duct at this point then a few flush boxes low level internaly with everything ready to extend at later date would have been far better!

Cat5e in 2024 ? Why not cat6. Price difference?

Enjoying the POV camera angles, but hearing the heavy breathing during those shots ain’t great, maybe something you can play with in the Microphone settings

Trench Hater Nick 😊

I would only hire you for internal work because your external work is horrible. I would pay extra to hide all cables

I no longer watch jordan, can't cope with him :(

UGH youtube is fighting ad blockers again :(

new format felt a little too much like a short video by eFixx, prefer your original talking style but appreciate you're "trying new stuff out"
