Electrical Tips: 1) only 1 ground wire is required throughout the whole length 2) minimum of 6" of wire needs to be hanging out of the box 3) share the neutral; nothing wrong with separate neutrals, just the 2 breakers have to trip together if shared 4) you forgot the strap the conduit. Rule of thumb: 1 ft of a box 5) all the outlets need to GFCI protected; to fix this install a GFCI breaker for each circuit 6) all boxes that you installed have a raised ground screw location. At each box, you need to install a ground wire to a green screw and splice it with all the other grounds. no other screw is allowed, it must be machined and green. 7) you will need a EXIT sign above a man door and emergency lighting - buy a combo EXIT/light and install above the door 8) if you are using stranded wire, you must use a spade to connect to a device screw terminal, ie - outlet 9) use a bandsaw not a grinder. make sure to reem the conduit I got more info if you'd like.

Thank you!!!!

[@austendewolf]

New intro is great. The explosion when you flipped the main breaker was hilarious.

[@ciredfish]

I love the simple look of the OSB at the tops of the walls. An easy and affordable wall covering. This project is turning out amazingly

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Thank you!!! My thoughts exactly and saved me a buck!!!

[@alextheromanian]

Unlike your trailer build which i begged you to have a full size tub in it, I hope you listen and put a full size tub and bath in this shop. This looks amazing. Since i left that comment i met someone amazing, I also introduced her to your youtube channel and now its what we watch on weekend mornings whenever theres a a video out. Love your content! Additionally she also just bought me your semi professional amateur shirt. I LOVE IT and i love the stickers i got with it! The stickers are almost too cool to put on anything except our shared toolbox.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Hahahahaha nowayyyyyy!!!! That’s epic!!! I’ll send you more stickers so put ‘em on stuff!

[@OffGrid_office]

Its coming along so well!! Like the new intro, and the explosion when you flipped the breaker! i laughed so hard! nice work as always!

[@ktkrogstad]

Damn, you just powered through! Unbelievable amount of work! Get 'er done!!

[@RobertJLessard]

I liked seeing how the pros turn on the main breaker fro the first time. 😂 For working at heights I'd recommend making a man size jolly jumper. If you fall you get a fun springy fall. Lol

[@WoodnessGoodness]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@brandons42472]

Gosh darn the intro alone makes the vid stellar!

[@peartreehillfarm]

You’re crushing it! Great job, but take care of yourself ok? We want more videos from you. That gash looked intense! Loved the intro, too. Well done on it all.

[@kcsmiths]

Looking good, nice job on the power!

[@chriscapaccio3463]

Holy woodnessgodfatherness, baby!!!! Now, that is how a semi-professional amateur does electrical work folks. The only thing missing in this video was the architects approval. I have a confession, Graham. I am not really an electrician, I just make people offers they can't refuse and take care of things, lol. You should definitely twist those wires together before putting the wire nut on and install straps on the conduit. It is a great feeling when you can tackle a project like this and save so much money. You should be proud of yourself. The godfather is proud.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@taylormcintyre5759]

Powah! Unlimited powah! Another quality production by Mr. Goodness (Sorry I missed upload day)

[@MrTheShoot]

How fun is it when the light comes on when you test your circuit? Its a magical feeling.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

PURE MAGIC

[@MrKnotWright]

G man, ask the Godfather of Electric which he recommends, but I'd install one for sure to protect your investment, Ask about whole house surge protector, you can get em from the Depot. Also ask about GFCI breakers instead of plugs, its an easy retrofit. Both these are code here in TX. Very happy to see ya back in action and with a smile on your face!!

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Oh yes! I am definitely going to add a gfci breaker to the wash bar area for the whole circuit. Great idea!

[@glg3945]

I feel your anxiousness on testing the electric outlets for the first time! But it was pretty funny to watch though!😅 Congratulations 👌 🎊 👏 it works beautifully and looks so clean and neat! Your videos are off the chain awesome! Love your microphone holders 😂. That gash on your leg looked painful. Wishing you quick healing. Glad you acquired the scaffolding, that was a smart purchase. Those door look awesome with the large and many windows. You will get good amount of sunlight coming in with those. Great update and shenanigans 🤣. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family and friends. ❤️ 😊

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Thank you so much friend! As always appreciate the encouragement and your love! Cheers!

[@DadInFastForward]

Love the beginning. Beautiful

[@brandons42472]

I’m looking forward to a compilation of different microphones in a few years 😂😂

[@PaPawsWorkShop]

I usually do my own electrical work too, but as fast as you work, how about you coming over and finishing up my new shop for me🤣

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Hehehehehe

[@mi1stormilst]

I like this project...looks like a big garage/workshop...keep it up!

[@allisonwanderland9917]

Happy Easter Graeme and Fam! 🐣

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Happy Easter!

[@campbellmalcolm4875]

Well done Cir!

[@24CiViC]

😂…I always use my tippy finger tips to flip a breaker switch - I’m terrified EVERY single time! The shop looks great!

[@alisonself8821]

Have to say I’m really enjoying this series. You are doing a fabulous job of this workshop!! Looking forward to seeing it all come together! Happy Easter to you and your family.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Thank you so much!

[@Wiggles4life]

I was expecting you to come back with a stick to turn on that main breaker 😂

[@Leonitus485]

I know receptacles are considered a form of support but i would definitely add a 1-hole strap in between each one.

[@Forest_Actual]

Thank you!

[@billyr2954]

A bit late now, but you absolutely could have spaced your outlets out 12 ft a part. Looks good ! At any point on a wall (where you'd be standing), you have to be within 6ft of an outlet, but that means there can be 12 feet between outlets. Hope this helps you next time your dealing with outlets.

[@corywadedavis]

New intro slaps!

[@davidiainjohnson]

What a satisfying episode.

[@TheDIYCabinGuy]

Nice progress!

[@charliehermes7886]

That new intro slaps😂😂😎

[@Mak90.]

Looking good

[@canajian]

Good mornin 👋😎👍

[@tekniderm]

Get after it! Nice work :)

[@psterdactyl7253]

Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Hahahahahaa

[@jonathanparker5037]

I am jamming out to this music!

[@Elseweyr]

Always gold

[@Elseweyr]

I'm always so motivated after ur vids. ty master!

[@turnerscot4738]

🎉should have painted the ceiling white to reflect light

[@russelleckenberg2293]

Please support that conduit

[@valdius85]

Great job!

[@anthonyb8405]

I would have alternated the circuits every 5ft instead of a straight run for each circuit. Great job either way! 🤙

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Yea that’s a thought. I’m going to set up power reels which will also help not putting too much on a single circuit.

[@barzalou]

You killed me!

[@Syaxamaphone]

This is also me when I have to turn on a breaker

[@michaelleinen1949]

Electricity engaged

[@jnl.]

i saw an electrician say its safer to twist the wires together, snip the rough end off, then put the wire nut on. relying on twisting the wire nut on to twist the wires together risks a poor connection and higher risk of fire. tho i think most people just twist the wire nut on. but i switched to twisting first, and it does give it a really good twist and snipping the tip gives it a really clean end. tho twisting the wires feels awkward to me and it can be hard to grip all the wires well. especially if there are 3 wires. what was done in my kitchen was use 3 wires to an outlet, and one hot to the upper plug and one hot to the lower, with the tab split so they are not connected. that way i can run a microwave and toaster off the 2 plugs in the outlet at the same time. not sure if thatd be a good idea to do in a shop tho. im not an electrician, just someone too cheap to pay people to do things. so check with a real electrician if u want to do any of that lol

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Yea that’s a good thought. I double checked every outlet cause I agree your kinda guessing that it twisted everything together. Good point though. I need to get some fat pliers that can twist em all.

[@Keasbeysknight]

Big wooden stick for those situations

[@melvincooper8926]

I was nervous when you were about to flip the switch...why? The video is 5 months old 😂

[@BernardAguiar]

The hair!

[@simonthompson1973]

Should do more videos at 150 speed 😂

[@daronrr]

Debur the id on the conduit?

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Yes!

[@brandonehrke4549]

How big of garage doors. And what brand ?

[@WoodnessGoodness]

They are 10x10 and they are from Horman. German brand I think!

[@omaverick2870]

Can you use the ladder as a mic holder next time? hahaha just once

[@WoodnessGoodness]

You got it.
