Rule one of demo day and mechanical system replacement, RIP EVERY FLAKE OF DRYWALL OUT!!! See what you're dealing with

[@Treylopez1997]

I hope this doesn't sound rude but you may as well have not put insulation in the kitchen with those gaps it's gonna allow outside temps thru easily

[@saulgoodman2018]

Isn't this California?

[@westcoastpacoimacalifas]

Obviously you're not a real electrician. Shout out to my real sparky gang

[@MikeHarrington556]

Definitely looking at frozen pipes in the kitchen with insulation jammed in like that. Insulation should never be compressed like that or it completely defeats its purpose.

[@ClarkS963]

Why even do drywall before the electrical inspection....now it's full of patches.

[@BinnieB81]

I can’t believe you installed drywall before the inspection.

[@goatherderkavi7441]

This felt so janky. I don't understand why you wouldn't just demo everything first. You clearly don't care about the current drywall with all the holes you put into it so why not just take it all down and start with a clean slate. This is "doing the siding without doing the landscaping first" all over again.

[@effthegop]

As an retired electrician that has done this stuff thousands of times, I LOLed at everything :). Next time just take out all the drywall. It will make all the tasks 20x easier and the completed job 20x better. Hopefully you will live and learn.

[@PntBtrNjelus]

Clearly all the people praising him and saying good job have never picked up a hammer in their life. But kudos to him for trying something, just maybe he should watch a few youtube videos first before he makes one trying to tell people how to do it, or in his case, not do it.

[@RoxaneJ14]

Why the clickbait tho? I'd have watched anyway...

[@danchev338]

Before closing walls and ceilings you have to do a dead test to your entire wiring. Also with the amount you hacked off with a hammer you might as well have ripped all the drywall out to be able to see everything how it runs. Keeping the attic insulation doesn't help you either. Most important of all if you will have someone do your test and inspection make sure they can see all connections and have easy access to them

[@saulgoodman2018]

As long as the old wiring is disconnected, which they are. It does not matter where they are running to. He ran all new wires. He can leave the old ones in the wall.

[@danchev338]

@@saulgoodman2018 agreed, but it saves you the hassle of having to find a damaged wire that you didn't send a screw through

[@saulgoodman2018]

@@danchev338 But all of the runs, he did rip off the drywall. He should have also pit plates over the studs he did run them through.

[@IAintScaredOfNoGhost]

​@saulgoodman2018 that isn't a thing for electrical - the inspector makes sure you place the holes in the center of the studs, and drywall screws don't Pentwater drywall+stud to a depth that penetrates the center. You're thinking of plates for water.

[@saulgoodman2018]

@@IAintScaredOfNoGhost For protection, just in case.

[@Heymrk]

The whole point of an inspection is to fail it. It's like when someone edits a paper for you-- they see the things you don't. That makes it easy for you to go back and fix the problems. Only then do you try to pass it.

[@nicosand86]

why does the insulation look like its been hosing a city of rats for the last 60 years?? And why not just take the walls back to the frame so you have a much easier time doing the electrics??

[@DiZZiEntertainment]

I'm definitely with them on the service outlet for the outside condensing unit. You have no idea how many times I've serviced a home and had to run extension cords all across the lawn or through a window of someones property just to service their units. Ever since this became code in most dates I've definitely been a happy campers.

[@aceplatinumog9534]

Demo day I would have removed all the drywall, carpet and furniture.

[@bdub4820]

Guy drywalls the entire place to find out he has 50 electrical findings on the inspection. How does the saying go, work smarter not harder. 😂

[@rmhanseniii]

This is comically unprofessional… just another person with no training or experience trying to make a KZbin video for money and giving bad advice

[@itxHaavik]

Cut your insulation around outlets. Having compressed insulation around an outlet lowers the r value significantly and also leaves a void around the outlet. You'll get cold drafty air around your outlets. Especially with how many you have on your exterior walls.

[@FrostyBoom38]

Look... I've been watching your videos for a long long time now... But I'm waiting for that hair reveal... Just sayin...

[@neilhargis8120]

I keep thinking this will be the video he talks about it lol. It's been almost a year I think. Looks like he's got it shaved short in this one, so curious!

[@RCPhotosVideos]

Unfortunately a lot of hair transplants fail. Maybe that’s the reason. He also is it active in the comments so might not see that people want a update.

[@jaredgreen5305]

soooooo.. click bait then??

[@Evan-zc5hv]

The amount of drywall finishing you’re going to have to do is insane. Wishing you or the subcontractor a lot of good luck

[@lou9108]

Believe it or not, The inspector is there to actually help the home owner and make sure the work is brought up to the current code. Not bad work by a non professional electrician but I am surprised he let you "cover up dry wall before he inspected the rough in and there are still things that should not have passed... just sayin.

[@tomconway6808]

Yeah I was surprised he drywalled it before the inspection...unless he already had the inspection done and it was just kind of an editing thing.

[@tonyi4085]

He was lucky he didn’t have a mean inspector. They could’ve easily told him to rip out all the drywall so they can get a full inspection. Lol.

[@ClarkS963]

Wait, when did you fail the inspection?

[@edwardwahnstrom6907]

Right? Did I miss it? The intro make it seem like a "Coming up" type deal, then it never comes.

[@cyuca4348]

Right. I was totally catfished and click baited....

[@RCPhotosVideos]

This channel lives off the clickbait

[@billybike57]

It’s like you have no electrical experience at all?

[@robinmamo]

If you unroll the wire before you start pulling it, it will kink and bend a lot less. Makes things easier

[@Skitlanne]

I dont understand how you are allowed to pull wire like that in your walls, what if something happens and you need to rewire?.. in Scandinavia you need to first do protection tubes which you pull your wiring through, which protects wiring and then you can rewire through.

[@JoJo-op5xy]

Hair update????

[@michaelmayfield4618]

Congratulations on getting your green sticker for your electric you doing a wonderful job

[@A3777-i5m]

Glad you got inspection as an electrician I was getting worried 😂 but you got everything figured out and educated so great job 👍

[@clellbritt3434]

Bottom to Top??? Didn't you do the roof first? Doing a great job. Can't wait to see more.

[@sohayel_nafi]

The way you put back your insulation, is giving me nightmares dawg

[@DGuyette]

$5,000 for the antique ceiling fan! woo, I wonder how much for the vintage couch!! LOL Great job and keep the videos coming

[@w2ttsy670]

Bro, throw a temporary frame around that stair well. It’s only a matter of time until you walk backwards and fall down that opening.

[@danielsmith7935]

Your issue with the Roto Zip is user error counter clockwise around the outside of boxes or it can run away! Thats what you are doing just push against outside of the box going that direction around and it will work a whole lot better for ya. Go clockwise when cutting around the inside of an object and make sure the depth is set correctly for the material.

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

I remember when the inside was going to be small changes only 😂

[@charlireed9555]

You did GREAT!!!! Btw: That Freddy Fender look is not becoming. Well unless your wife is happy, that's what matters.

[@benjaminsims3424]

You never explained why you have this house and what you are planning to use it for

[@xamhemelx]

Hope you’re labeling those wire runs at the box! I’ve made that mistake before!

[@Schten]

Just binged this entire playlist & subscribed. Love it. Just so you know. This video is not included in the playlist for the house!

[@muthagoose00]

What in the sam hell did I just watch

[@JrNichols5]

No insulation between the kitchen and garage? Seems like a missed opportunity right there. Also on that wall where you deleted the window, where's the insulation?

[@nogoodnecktie12]

im glad this guy is getting inspections

[@BruiserFL]

The bathroom vent is required by code to exhaust humid air from the bath or shower. An added bonus is to exhaust 'deuce' smells!

[@Gn4rkillz]

“This spade bit sucks”…. *Removed it from impact*

[@demonfire691]

i'm super curious about why so many people use spade bits with an impact driver. Is it just because the impact is a little squatter or am I missing something else?

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

Looks like you opened a can of worms with this wiring job. Mistakes were made. Yes sir.

[@Golfexpertbelieveme]

Watching you put insulation in the walls in the kitchen was painful. Lmao did you really drywall before testing your power?

[@tomb5372]

It's funny, I live in a ~10 year old home that I bought brand new. And pretty much we have everything that the inspector complained about. And I am sooo grateful for all those outlets, circuits, especially in the kitchen. It may seem excessive at first but I have come to appreciate it. It literally is one of those things that sets apart modern homes from poorly planned and built out older homes. Lots of these "convenience" things, e.g. being able to turn off the furnace or having outlets within certain distances all over actually prevent a lot of bad things from happening, e.g. having to resort to extension cords and overloading circuits unintentionally.

[@TheJeracuda]

I'm surprised that you've still got that fireplace in the house but I suppose you just haven't gotten to the demolition of that area yet since I don't see you keeping that cheap fireplace lol

[@Martenioh93]

Am i the only one interested in what type of people that lived there before it was abandoned?😅

[@Matty_ice429]

Alex, you’re out here complaining about “convenience” outlets and switches but I promise you’ll be the first one thanking that inspector the first time you do another project in that house or an upgrade. I wish I had more outlets in my house.

[@timg4800]

Super rad, quick flip! Was this house chosen because everything was wrong? I’d love to see what’s doesn’t need replacement. Also, what’s in the basement?

[@AlexGriggAnimation]

the way you squashed that insulation in there makes me really sad...

[@Joethetoolguy]

Not to be weird but you need some lipstick bro, not for you but for the boxes. It marks the box for easy cutout 😅

[@MikeGusFifteen]

Dishwasher and disposal can share a circuit btw

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

Is that basement easy sqft to up resell value? Looks like fairly cheap to convert

As a former AV low voltage guy, wish you would’ve run conduit and a string from the TV area to where the cabinets are. Makes running your HDMI to you cable box or game systems so much easier.

[@majstealth]

not an us-house, but european. we(i) decided to have nearly each 1-3(1 like dishwasher, 3 for mixed stuff regularly changed) socket on its own fuse, just because toaster, waterheater etc etc. we had aluminum wires throughout the hole house. am about halfway through with replacing when i open someting up.

[@ifeelsoalive]

As a DIYER seeing you work around and rip the drywall as you go was so frustrating. I would’ve removed EVERYTHING down to the bones of the house and started from there.

[@shawnd7798]

So, I've been meaning to ask this. Is the house just really short, or is he gigantic.

[@imequationzyt]

Short cielings and he’s pretty tall

[@sueallen8188]

7.5 ft ceilings, I live on a house similar to this, also mine is 62 yrs old

[@gpatton1]

thank god for the inspector

[@jeromycaballero91]

Is that wiring job incredibly messy or is that normal? They’re just all over the place. It looks like spilled spaghetti at the breaker box. I’d be terrified to drill anywhere into those walls.

[@thexodus]

Is it just me, or is the foundation undermined? It looks like they originally had a foundation on grade around the outside walls with a crawlspace and later dug down in the middle to make a service basement, made a berm on wall, some kind of retaining wall on another side, slid some cinderblock towers in the middle and then just covered the remaining dirt with plastic in hopes it would not dry out and fall away. Am I seeing that wrong?

[@Thewoodworkingconcierge]

Definitely got me with the intro 😅 was definitely worried lol but great episode!

[@saulgoodman2018]

For $500, you can easily pass any inspection.

[@Torbox1]

You ruin the insulation value of the fiberglass when you compress it like you did behind all the wiring. You should have split the bats in half and fed half behind and half in front.

[@tanaseav]
