Always learn a lot from you here in Phoenix!! Thanks!

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you so much for watching my friend! 🙏🏽😊 Have a great 4th!

[@goatinaboat5]

This isn't the video that we wanted. But it was the video we needed.

[@FixThisHouse]

I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊

[@BennyDelgado]

I've been looking for this video for a long time now. Wery well explained. Now I have a project for tomorrow. Thank you!

[@kevinthompson4690]

1/4 inch is the minimum length of sheathing required inside a box not the maximum.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you for this correction! 🙏🏽😊

[@rickm.6452]

Do not load off a plug unless GFCI ,because if you have a bad plug ,everything downstream of that plug will not work. Pig tail and isolate each individual plug. This makes troubleshooting easier.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thank you for the feedback! 🙏🏽😊

[@matthewstrickland5788]

I’ll go for the whole set up

[@FKS1994]

hey, can you show how to install recessed lighting in your next video? thank you sir!

[@FixThisHouse]

Ofcourse! I’ll keep that in mind! 👍🏽😊

[@ibrahstraore1787]

Hello, Am Ibrahim from Canada, i have one question for you, It's possible to add receptacle 20 amp on wire 14/2 Amp? Sorry for my english.

[@jpascua3824]

Question: Why did you install the outlet horizontally rather than vertically?

[@FixThisHouse]

Hi! You can install either way. I just did it horizontally because since it’s going to places inside a pantry , horizontal position will not interrupt or get in the way as much on the shelves being installed 👍🏽😊

[@hippo-potamus]

Any reason why you didnt use a 20amp outlet?

[@FixThisHouse]

Hi! No reason, just what I had available in my tool box 😅

[@ihafidh]

If you ever need to renovate the pantry, you will have to remove the outlet. Wouldn’t it be better to install the outlet on to the wall instead of the pantry?

[@FixThisHouse]

There are many ways to do this, this was cleaner in my opinion. If you ever change the pantry all you have to do is remove the cover and that’s it 👍🏽😊

[@claypottinger7372]

What does, "Everything is pretty much shut off" mean?

[@reggiesaidit513]

I thought that the box had to be attached to a stud to avoid a violation

[@josephperez3787]

You never stated why the junction box was sticking out so much inner walls are two and a half inches hollow space sufficient enough for a floating junction box or a regular box was there a piece of wood behind the box and you removed it if so you forgot to mention that other than that there will be no reason why a box should stick out so much

[@FixItRight03]

You jump around so much and edit so much I can't make out your wiring why not wire directly to the receptacle.

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

Apparently the wires were "too short"

[@kengevers8738]

You are very confusing giving so many different ideas for this video. 🙄 Yikes!!! If you want a safe outlet box video, then just do that. If you want a video on drywall repair, then just do that. You are all over the place.

[@FixThisHouse]

Thanks for the feedback, just documenting the different situations I come across different situations I find. Nothing wrong with that I think. But if you are looking for something specific check out my electrical playlist 👍🏽😊

[@Tre16]

If you want that, make your own video lol

[@buddyboy4x44]

I find watching a real life fix better than a simple fix to demonstrate a topic. We DIYers work in the real world.

[@EdG-rn7dk]

This is more practical thing having to track down multiple videos
