One of the reasons why I love this channel so much is; we may not necessarily have the skills to do what you teach, but you give us the extra bullets in our guns when it comes to knowing if we're getting burned by what ever tradesman is working on our homes, who to talk to if that's the case, and which questions to ask to make sure they're real pros vs. someone just trying to make an extra buck. It's like you've said in the past, "no one loves your home as much as you do!"
You've helped me with a ton of stuff so thank you for that. I really appreciate everything you do. For a lot of us you've become the insulation between the words can, and can't when it comes to home DIY.

Jeff and Dustin's channels are my most watched channels. Have been for the last year and half. I was so excited to see my two most watched guys chat it out together.

58:41 NEC 406.4(D)(2)(b) allows a GFCI to be used as a code compliant ungrounded replacement as long as it's properly labeled as "no equipment ground" (why the GFCI come with a variety of stickers). It has to be connected properly to the existing wiring and it changes how down stream devices are wired, but it will fully function since it ground faults to itself but doesn't provide an actual ground (hence the required sticker). It's a not cheap, but cheaper than rewiring, way to get safe three prong outlets into a home with older wiring.

Dedicated circuits should consider motor starting loads. You might get away with running two freezers on the same circuit for maybe months, but eventually they will both want to start at the same moment, like after a power failure, and then the breaker will be thrown off.

Marettes are named after William P. Marr, the Ontario electrician that invented the twist-on wire connectors. Marrette is basically to wire nuts what Kleenex is to tissues.
I guess the trade name stuck around in Canada but not in the US.

I was quite meticulous when I wired my first basement, to the point that the inspector declared it better than most/many pro jobs.

Sweet...two of my fave YouTubers! Love these sessions that Jeff puts together!

[TJ-Rockstar]

I loved the educational video and it was a lot of fun to listen to you and Dustin talk about different things & life events.
The only complaint I have, is that you kept interrupting Dustin and finishing his sentences and a few times i actually really wanted to hear what he said. 😢
Sorry, I never complain about you because I absolutely LOVE everything you've done for me and how you've helped me keep a roof over my kids head and helped me to not lose my house or for me and kids to freeze.
Eternally grateful for everything you do.
Thank you ❤❤❤

Another fantastic and extremely educational episode. Immensely appreciated

[nytrusbk]

this is amazing I love Dustin, he has reminded me and taught me so much.... amazing to see my two fav you tube stars collaborate!

[stephenmacdonald]

Marrette is a brand name, like sawsall. Yes, it is a wire nut in Canada too.

Im 62 and im still doing it and enjoying it!😂

I operate an IT Contracting company and have been looking to branch into being an electrician due to the number of times having Certs would save me time/money. This interview opened my eyes to many things that have intimidated me when confronting the subject. Thanks a ton, @HomeRenoVisionDIY . You consistently deliver quality YT content friend!

Hey Dustin! Love u crazy guy 💚 I have an old house. Ripped out all the walls and starting a full rewire. Love it when my fav youtubers get together!

[lightfusegetaway]

I almost learned the hard way that even turning off one breaker sometimes isn't enough. One outlet in my living room is backfed by wires from my kitchen and almost resulted in an electrical shock. With the breaker off, a lamp or radio on the outlet didn't work but there was somehow still had current going to it. Didn't know until i started unscrewing the terminals and saw sparks. Just ended up shutting the entire house off to replace that outlet. Be careful out there!

[macarenabeeche]

I called them merets too for the longest, thanks to you Jeff! 😂 I recently started calling them wire nuts, but I speak of them so little because all I talk about are wago lever/nuts

[mjahandyman]

Another great video, very informative. Cheers

[daireklewis]

I felt like you didn’t let Dustin finish explaining without interrupting and before moving on to the next question. Other than that good pod.

[tccdlinux]

Great video. I have learned a lot watching both of the channels. Dustin is a good electrician teacher which helps me a lot since I am also in Texas so codes are pretty much the same.

[bobbysmith]

You don't have to have 3 wires to hook up a gfci outlet. You only need 2 wires. That is actually a way you can convert 2 prong outlets to 3 prong outlets in an old house. You install 3 prong gfci outlets and label them. You can tell that Dustin knew this but didn't want to be awkward and interrupt/correct Jeff.
