Would be a lot easier to run the fish down through the hole in the attic to the huge hole in the wall, rather than start at the huge hole and move up to the tiny hole in the top plate...

As an installer, i'd like to ask how she found the fish tape underneath the top plate after feeding it upwards. you cant just give people info without proper justification. This is way to simplified an explanation for the DIYer, especially when electrical is the project

Take a look at 0:16. The white wire has been cut and should be repaired to decrease the chance of a fire.

Get some knee pads and a piece of plywood for crawling in the attic. Those joists will KILL your knees. Also, you can put a piece of metal coathanger into the drill and send it thru as a marker. It will stay put after your loosen the drill chuck and it makes a tiny hole. Also, it will pass thru plywood and even oak flooring! If you have a friend, you can skip this step and let him knock knock.

She doesnt use the electrical tester, or wiggy, correctly. She should insert the prong in both outlet slots to make sure.

Exactly, that non-contact voltage tester is highly unlikely to go off the way she used it.

Question: Why would I snake from a 2"x2 1/2 cutout to a 7/8" hole? Common sense should dictate snake from the small to the large hole.. pretty damn hard to see/ grab a snake through a 7/8" hole! But a 2x2 1/2" hole makes life a "hole" less complicated.........

dont push your fish tape up unless you are going up a pipe

I didn't understand step 3, drilling a hole in the ceiling. So this hole is just purely for reference? . Also wouldn't it make more sense if the manufacturers who make fish wire make it a bright color like yellow or pink? Why make it black. That's hard to see in-between dark walls.

Okay, but how to make a single outlet a dual one? SO you have one outlet, and you want to add a seconed or ever third right next to it? Do you need to run wire through the wall like this, or can you just add the wire directly from one to another?

How do I do this without access to my attic? I want to add a jamb switch to a pull-chain light in a closet but have no clue how to fish the wire through the ceiling, down the wall and into the door jamb without damaging the plaster.

Is there always space above the ceiling for running wires horizontally? Or do you have to cut through joists or something sometimes in a 2 story house or building?

You need to make sure your using the correct gauge wire, because 12 gauge is for 15 amps and 20 gauge is for 20Amps
