I’m on your team. Electricity makes sense. Drywall doesn’t.

Heck ya! I’m excited to keep moving forward!

[@frankbever1788]

You should buy a knock out plug for the extra hole. We fail inspections if we have an open hole. Good job, congratulations.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

That’s what Mel said haha I got one and put it in before the inspection. I should have showed that. Thanks for watching!

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

I’m surprised inspection let you leave connectors on inside of panel. Plus it looked like you could’ve used some more staples at your nail on boxes.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

He said to change them but after hearing why I put them in that way, he said that was a good idea and I could leave them.

[@torchup]

In my region rough electrical inspections will often fail if the wire nut connections are not wire twisted together under the wire nut first with lineman pliers and then the wire nuts twisted-on attached. A wire nut is really considered a "cap" insulator and not a "splice" connector even though they're called "connectors" Electrical currents passing through and relying on just expecting the wire nut to effectively flow the current and not expecting it to short over time, vibrations from tools or usage, or sometimes struggle and heat up inside a box, a knowledgable electrician or inspector looks for twisted wires under twisted-on wire nuts. Maybe it's overkill but electrical currents flowing through just a loose wire nut connection that gets moved about and stuffed in and under switches and outlets at final install is a consideration some electricians and electrical inspectors will often find unacceptable in commercial and residential wiring. We strip back enough insulation, twist the exposed copper wires together with lineman pliers first, then cap-off tighten twist connectors making for a secure current flow and no possibility of shorts.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

That tip I got for my impact gun twists the wires together as well. Thanks for watching!

[@john72346]

Don’t you have a framing inspection did they mention a fire rated door going into the house it’s code in pa made me do it !

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

I already passed my framing inspection and they didn’t say anything about replacing the door. It is a steel door tho

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Arent staples or clips supposed to be within a foot of the boxes? Cant remember.

[@GunpowderandFreedom]

I believe it’s about 6” they all actually are, I’m just leaving slack in case I need to cut them or anything. Thanks for watching!
