As a past code and building official, I love it when you post videos, and I love it when a person not just any person but a lady who really knows her trades and has perfected it....I am working hard to get my daughter into becoming an electrician. Everytime you post videos I send them to my daughter Gabby. My wife and I enjoy keeping up with your videos,,they are great. And your work is spot on perfect and a million thanks. Great to see a lady in you in the trade. As always keep it safe and cheers to you. Love it when you show the Milwaukee trade tools, your too cool , thanks for all you do in trail blazing the field for our female friends and letting so many know they too can do anything men can do. And keep it up! Thanks Jonathan and Maria from wva

[@lextheelectrician]

Thank you so much ! That means the world! I hope your daughter gets into trades

[@jonathandavis1525]

@@lextheelectrician I have had the opportunity to do many inspections in the electrical and plumbing trads and have done at least 35 years in plumbing and the trades. It warms my heart to see a young lady whom not only does the work but takes pride in her work, her tools, and perfects her her skills and trades is simply spot on great. Keep up the good works, I will try and keep forwarding your videos to my daughter and hope she jumps into the trade. My wife and I really enjoy all the videos keep posting them. My wife and I are so proud of you. Wish I could connect you and my daughter so you could give her pointers. Thanks again. And we say You Go girl!

Good work ! Awesome to see a young lady like this taking pride in this field!

[@ivanmedina7676]

I've been in the trade for 19 year's and Honestly I wish some of my helpers/apprentices would have half the talent you have. Would make it 1000% easier to be a foreman. Keep up the good work and be safe!

[@nickseamus7340]

Its up to you to train and develop your helpers. I guarantee there's someone who taught you when you were new.

[@style45boy]

then teach em

[@johnkulpowich5260]

It's so hard to find people that know how to think. And think on their own

[@N0Sbunny]

If you train them up, your apprentices can be what you need when they become journeymen. She is already a seasoned j-man, so the comparison to your apprentices isn't fair for either Lexi or them.

Great videos Lexi! Try shooting horizontal. KZbin likes it better and will push it out more.

[@neogeo227]

[@johnhaller5851]

The last electrician also put the holes in the wrong spot, but the damage is done. Holes should be in the middle third of joists, close to the edge reduces the strength of the structure.

[@MrWaalkman]

A perfect example of adherence to NEC Section 110.12 "Mechanical Execution of Work". Remos (remodeling work) are always a pain, with fire jobs being the worst. But you did a very nice job with this one.

[@garbo8962]

Only did a few fire jobs and everybody should be warned to NEVER open up a refrigerator or freezer while they are still inside of the house. Opened up a refrigerator that had no.power several months during a heat wave. Between the eggs, meat and other rotted items my helper throw up. Had to go out and purchase several cans of air freshener to lesson the stink.

[@MrWaalkman]

@@garbo8962 Been there. Yeah, it was nasty. :) A close runner up was a steakhouse that had a room just for potatoes and it stunk. There were some rotten ones in the pile and it was pretty bad.

[@noneyabusiness8065]

"Such a pain in the butt" is the motto of remodeling/tearing into any existing construction. Job well done!

[@jetspray3]

The one thing I notice is the pride you take in your job and it's something I always believe lead to perfection in your job.

[@GhostVnture]

I love watching your videos , they’re clean , simple , and u explain everything clearly . It’s really helpful as a fellow electrician just seeing different ways to solve a problem

[@trevenwidmer5222]

Your work is so clean and you make all of this look so easy lmao. I wish everyone had your level of integrity and attention to detail.

[@metalman22cinco]

So interesting to watch another electrician at work. It was interesting to watch you use calculations to map out each light, my boss just has us nail up the cans without much thought haha

[@lextheelectrician]

Haha yes this is the easiest way I’ve found

[@toomasrett3931]

I've done a lot of electrical since the 1970's. I did not know what I really whanted to do in life, so I wandered from profession to profession, a lot. I now know what I enjoy doing, but had to retire because of my heart. Make a good go of it. I am proud of you, serously. Make more videos 😀

[@TR-ut3yh]

We use rough in pans for the wafer lights. Makes the finish much quicker. Nice work.

[@why-be-normal7014]

Great job. Love how Meticulous you are with your work and I see that’s constant throughout your videos.

[@dcpowered]

I am very impressed and admire your passion with your job. I always have to take days off to keep a close eye on any workers at my place, otherwise they just mess it all up! I always come back at the end of the day with bad surprises. The last one was with the electrician who made a hasty and messy job... He broke a lot of things and ended asking me to buy all the extra parts so that he would come back the next day. I can say that extreme disappointment was a real thing at that point. So, i started learning myself so i can hopefully take care of most of it.

[@peterarroyo8772]

Smokin'

[@brucerobak145]

Nice work! I prefer to use a flat frame for canless led lights. Doing this, the sheetrocker cuts the hole for the light, and I return at the finish to install the light. It's cleaner for me this way.

[@xx360xxmw2xx]

i would use diagonal pliers to take the staples out instead of the crowbar. Way lighter! Good Content 👍🏼

[@joshua43214]

Takes way more hand strength though. Crow bar prolly less fatiguing for her

[@ale15MMv]

I like that you are not afraid to to work with out gloves,you are not afraid to build some blue collar calluses. Most apprentices are afraid to rough up there soft hands now a days

[@Mystik314]

I recognized that blue pry bar you were using, I'm pretty sure I have one that's either extremely similar, or the same; it's a great tool. I'm a DIY-er and these videos are an inspiration to me, especially when you're saying "this only took me ..." because it's nice to know how fast pros can do this stuff, compared to how much more time it takes me. I'm still fairly new to the work, and I'm always fearful of doing things wrong; I spend a lot of time checking on videos like this, and videos from other youtube electricians to not only ensure what I'm doing is correct/valid and safe, but also afterwards to double check and make sure I don't need to revisit something I've done to correct it. I appreciate electricians, it's an important job and valuable work - unfortunately, I'm too poor to hire someone to do it for me. I'm currently bringing my own home closer to code, as the previous owner seemed to like to do things however they wanted to, with little to no regard for code or safety. There are sets of lights connected in the basement right now that all go through a plug (romex to NEMA5-15P), that's plugged into a "handy plug" (E26 to receptacle) to power fluorescent lighting in the basement.... four magnetic ballasts on that, with eight T8 bulbs. Needless to say, not exactly safe, or code. There's still a lot of aluminum wire, and I'm trying to only install 12/2 or 12/3 romex to replace any lines that need to be pulled out. There's a lot more electrical horrors here, but I've already said a lot here. Videos like this help motivate me to keep fixing the electrical here, and get things into a better state, so I thank you so much for this. Stay safe, and be well.

[@snollennu]

I usually work with "slow" (low) voltage. What sucks is when you have to bring someone else's work up to code while at the same time installing your new work. Good stuff sis, keep it up.

Fellow sparky here. Love the way you work and really respect your knowledge level and attention to detail. I love my milwaukee laser as well.

[@philliphaessig]

You seem to like good tools so I would suggest looking into Werner Ladders 3 legged ladders. More stable and you can get into corners better and also stick the front leg through open walls to get you right up onto the wall. If you ever hang lighting outside it makes a world of difference also.

[@houseman2414]

You need a NM-B spool of some sort for those 250ft coils, even if it's little more than a spindle nailed between studs.
