I just finished turning my carport into an efficiency. I had never swung a hammer before I started. You guys really helped me get through this. This project has been the most challenging thing I’ve ever done. But damn I wish I knew how you cut outlets holes in drywall with that multi tool. I used a key hole saw and let’s just say you can see my learning curve in the walls. The last 3 outlets are perfect but I had 2 shim out and patch all the others lol. Great channel and thanks again. P.S. I was raised by an incredible single mother. It really warms heart to see such a loving, present, father and appreciative son who realizes what he has. Keep it up guys!

[@billsherman6129]

I enjoyed the video. It covered every aspect of the upgrades/repairs with clarity. I like the "selection of the appropriate power tool" videos clips he adds where his hand passes over the power tools until he finds just the right one. On the other hand ... Dirty pink insulation batts (or loose fill "fluffy stuff") indicates that there's air flowing through it. The insulation acts like a filter; grabbing the dust from the air. Somebody should find and seal the air leaks that lead up to the attic to save energy and create a more comfortable home. Also the gap around the box for the ceiling fan should have been caulked (or spray foamed, or use backer rod, etc.) to prevent interior warm (moist) air from going up into the attic and forming condensation on cold winter roof sheathing, or forming droplets of water on the (even colder!) roof sheathing nails. It's really amazing how much air can flow up through a gap that small. The moist underside of the roof sheathing can start to get moldy. In theory all air infiltration/exfiltration should be controlled.

[@TrueHearted78]

Great job.. a take down for the repair would be awesome

[@eltonnoway5692]

Great video as usual! Thank you. Just FYI: Before any re-modelers re-wire their house with 14/3 for a fan box they should be aware wiring a fan installation site with 14/3 can potentially restrict installations of current model fans on the market today. Why? 18 years ago I rewired all my rooms with 14/3 so every fan would separate control legs for both fan and light, which has been great. (fan speed control and light dimmer) Unfortunately the majority of ceiling fans sold today come with LED light fixtures as well a remote control (i.e. transmitter and receiver) It should also be noted because many now include remote controls, fans no longer have pull chains. Last week I purchased a new fan for the master bedroom because the wife wanted a more modern looking unit. What should have been a quick job I soon discovered I had to replace the light fixture control in the switch box with one that would support dimmable LED lights. (The old dimmer was designed for incandescent lighting). Also unfortunate, I also also had to replace the nice full range speed controller I had installed because the electronics incorporated within the fans remote receiver does not support variable rheostat full range dimmers. The instructions warn: Do not operate the fan with a variable fan speed controller, as it could result in damage to the ceiling fans remote control receiver unit) NET: Most newer fans on the market today are conveniently geared towards homes with 14/2 wiring and a single pole wall switch so users can control both the fan speed and light dimming all via the included remote control (eliminating the need for 14/3 wiring.) While I appreciate fan manufacturers are making fans that will work with 14/2... it made my the simple swap installation of my new expensive fan even swap more expensive and painful than it had to be. Personally if I was remodeling a home today I doubt I would bother running 14/3. NOTE: In fairness, in another great video you did - IN DEPTH Fan Installation Guide" - you covered a fan installation where 14/3 wiring wasn't used because of the fans remote controller design. Just wanted to mention it here in case anyone was on the fence about rewiring

[@StudPack]

Cool thx Elton 👍. Yeah definitely a lot more ways to control ceiling fans now even from your phone I’m sure.

[@illestofdemall13]

It would have been faster to take out the old fan control and hardwire both black and red then use a remote control to control the motor and light. Then you can put a blank insert in place of where the control was. It isn't complicated if you are experienced with fans already. When I buy a fan or ask a customer to shop for one, I get all the controls sorted out ahead of time.

[@illestofdemall13]

Having 14/3 is better than 14/2 because you can reconfigure 14/3 in several ways, but with 14/2 you will never have the red conductor (if you were to need it).

[@kenbrown2808]

it's a lot easier to safe off an extra wire than to connect one more wire than you have. but if you already have the fan, and you know you won't need the third wire, then you don't have to install it.

[@illestofdemall13]

@@kenbrown2808 Basically what I was trying to say is there is no issue with having an extra conductor that you don't need. It seems like the gentleman above isn't very familiar with different fan wiring configurations and might have expected things to be easier. Things are easy once you already know how everything works (after installing hundreds of fans like myself). I'd rather have one more wire rather than not have enough conductors.

Please learn to use Wago 221s for the situation where a wire is on the verge of being too short and you can't afford to break it any more by twisting and untwisting. There's plenty of debate about these but there are some situations where they are a godsend.

[@mattwilliamson1714]

Great video! Those gloves are comfy too (have a similar set). Can't handle that nasty pink insulation either... beside the fiberglass particles in my lungs, my arms itch for days. Found out a lot of the old stuff has formaldehyde in it, so hot or not, I wear an old long sleeve button down over my clothes with a respirator in every attic. Not fun, but less itch & cough. Also, prefer to find where the new light, fan, etc. will go, do all my drywall patching first (hot mud whenever possible), then cut the new hole, and drop in the fan bar. Same thing, just different order.

[@thezfunk]

I hate that fiberglass insulation for the same reason. Makes me itch for days.

If You get insulation in your skin, A strip of duct tape will pull a lot of it out.

Great video! Quick question.. What would cause a wire to start burning up in the middle of it for no apparent reason? Had one wire do this to me and thankfully I smelled it before it caught the house completely on fire. I checked the entire length of the wire and couldn't find any places where I might have nicked it. Could this have just been a defect in the wire?

[@pondlakes]

I want one of those small milwaukee recip saws. looks handy

[@kevinintheusa8984]

I changed a ceiling fan when we bought a home in Georgia and I found the entire fan was being held up with one drywall screw through the side of the box into a ceiling joist. It was a pretty big fan and I was surprised it never fell down. My guess is that the guy didn't want to go into the attic since it was in a part of the home where you had to crawl quite a bit. I fixed it with the right hanger and ended up running two new switch legs to the fan we got. Great video.

[@corwynherrick6284]

Why not use some Wago 221 Lever Nuts? In your fan box, it adds the ability to quickly and easily change out fans without messing with twisted pairs. In your switch boxes, you can easily add more wires to any of your boxes. Need to run a new wire? Flip up your lever to your ground and lock it back down. Easily add three ways without fatiguing wires.

[@StudPack]

They’re cool no doubt. I have a few. Need to get some larger ones though.

[@Roy-ij1wq]

@@StudPack The WAGO 221-400 series will handle up to 12 ga. wire. The WAGO 222-600 series series is larger and will handle up to 10 ga. wire. The new inline WAGO 221 will handle up to 12 ga. wire and is perfect for extending short wires in a box.

[@illestofdemall13]

[@chiefinspector7280]

I agree. I always assume that the exposed wire is weakened from previous stripping and twisting and make a fresh end. The new WAGO inline connectors are perfect for extending short wires in a box.

Love the detailed video! I picked up this ability from my father and hope that one of the kids picks it up, betting on baby girl. Recently installed remote fans and rewired to use wall controllers (lady of the house wanted a certain model of fan and a certain model of wall controller, so had to bypass the controller and correctly wire the coils/ cap to phase shift). Recorded the process, but my production value sucks lol. The only question is would you use expansion cell foam to close the broken drywall near the end instead of hotmud? I felt the hole was small enough that the fan housing would hide it and we foam sealed ours in the end (also way more north and R50ish in the attic)

It's always very stuffy and fed up using 4 floor fans if I can change to just one decent celing fan. (floor to celing is bang on 8ft btw) or even two fans each side of the light if that's better but that will need more wires and cost more.
