Theres too much decoration in that house. It's very cramped! He needs to remove some things to clean up the look!
In Florida handyman cannot do electric jobs. 5000 dollars penalty.
I have also made a bunch of money flipping breakers for people. 😆 "but I checked the panel and all.the breakers are on!"
Lol you could of used a canless can light and not need the can at all not talking bad bout you but you should of known that I’m from New Orleans so y’all might not have them
I'll echo a few of the other comments. It's dangerous to make a blanket statement about licensed Electricians based off of one, or maybe two lazy Electricians who don't do such basic troubleshooting as checking a breaker. Trust me, there are A LOT of Licensed Electricians who would have found the issue just as fast as you did…or faster. Nice work finding the problem!
I went to buy a piece of art the other day. The store was completely sold out. Now I know.
I have my fan running and my LED recessed lights on. When I turn off the fan, on it's own switch, my LED lights also turn off momentarily (and then come back on). Why??? I have a switch for my fan, and a switch next to it for my LED recessed lights in my bedroom. Any insight would be appreciated.
Pigtails in a panel are fine… Wire-splicing and pigtailing within a loadcenter cabinet (panel enclosure) is expressly permitted by NEC 312.8 (A), and is quite safe (provided the splices are made up properly, of course): (A) Splices, Taps, and Feed-Through Conductors
You should replace any breaker that doesn't trip to center on a fault or over current situation. In fact, it looks like every breaker in that panel is due for replacement, but that's a lot of money, so probably not going to happen.
Usually breaker handles end up sticking when they're old, and never "exercised". Not a joke.
I'm not making excuses for a poor tradesman but I may have another explanation for what you saw at this job. If the electrician pulled the panel cover and traced the wiring back to the "apartment", and they saw the code violations that would have to be fixed, they probably notified the landlord and the landlord turned it down. My son is an electrician and is required to meet the electrical code or he risks his license. In this case it's not likely any tradesman were liable for anything if there were an accident after your visit, you just flipped the breaker back on. The electrician could have done the same but I can understand walking away from a mess like that.
I once asked a handyman how I can prevent light flickering in the 2nd floor he said I need to replace the wiring and run it to panel I laughed at him. We had an electrician come for another project, and he tightened the connection at the terminal. Light stopped flickering. Saved us a headache and 2k that handyman wanted to charge.
I've learned over time that usually if a circuit doesn't work its most likely a tripped breaker
Love it! Been following you for some time now… interested in super secret channel 👍and am going to check out your business channel in a few. Thanks!
When contemplating a project, every DIYer should consider three things. They are Time, Effort, and Money. Most, if not all, contractors and professionals look at these and think of Time as being a hindrance, Effort as something to be avoided, and Money as their only real goal. To them, speed is their primary concern: how fast they can put their customer's money into their pocket. I've found one item that is far better than a flashlight. It's a USB rechargeable LED light strip that you wear over your head and frees up your hands.
I found a problem in an outlet box that 2 guys had spent 4 hrs trying to troubleshoot and couldn't find the problem. To their credit it was tricky because it was an intermittent problem. When running a continuity test on hot black it would show V then open. Turns out the solid 14 awg wire was broken inside the insulation about 1/4 of an inch where it entered the box. Of course it wasn't visible but once I removed the outlet from the box and reached for the very short cut wire, I could feel the break about an inch back from where it was stripped. Not sure how it got broke unless someone attempted to bend & pull on wire in an effort to pull more length through the box.
I couldn't agree with you more I was explaining to my father who started our business 20 years ago how prices have changed he went with me for a week running some estimates doing a few small jobs and I explained to him it's not the work exactly every time they're paying for it's the years of experience and knowledge that you taught me that I know now on simple things like you just showed in your video that other guys even professional electricians did not know how to do you can't pay enough for that kind of know how it's priceless
Put your other channel in the description.
Also, that fire hazard in the furnace room……sheesh
$5 to hit it with a hammer, $95 for knowing where to hit it
Handyman is better than an electrician 🤣🤣🤣 probably a terrible handyman vs a good handyman to be fair any electrician would fix that in no time at all…
that was not an electrician. The first thing a good electrician checks is the electrical box.
Thank you! For inside! I'm 47 years old single mother of two kids! I wanted to redo my living room. And my contactor walked out on the job! Now I got electrical wires showing. I called 3 electrician in my town all wanted about $1200. To do the work.. So at my job LoWe's they are offering employees $2500. Education per year. So I'm thinking taken online courses. And do it myself! Thank you so much. If I can get this down maybe I'll office help to other moms in my town! Being handywomen! Lol
Typical rental house. Never put a dime into it. But if needs a new appliance landlord will buy a used $50 piece of junk and raise the rent to pay for it. Yeah make $100k off of it.
You can do that. You can wire nut two hots into a breaker. It’s considered one circuit. Nothing different than splicing at a junction box for power to a new receptacle.
So lost on his point, seemed like he talked a big game but I learned nothing in fact questioning wtf are ya good for huh?
Can pressure wash half that stuff
Handyman work is perfect for landlords bc you can kind of do it all and that’s what they want
It smells interesting… lol
