If a wire just wont stay on the hanger(or fish stick).. a helpful tip is to run a good piece of twine instead of the wire..and use that string to pull the wire through

Seems like you move to new house ? I liked the way you install the three way outlets, that makes sense when you make a pig tail, for 3 cables that good

So you added 3 outlets to this circuit? How many can you put on a 15 amp circuit? Some say 8 total but I’d like to know how you would figure this all out.

On the first outlet, how come you didn’t daisy it? I only ask since I just watched “how to add an outlet to an existing one” video of yours. You said connecting directly vs daisy could melt the passing through outlet

Where's the Romex from the TV routed? does it go behind the wall and down to through the baseplate location?

Why 5 way Waygos when it is only 3 wires for each color? would a 4 waygo work as well?

Instead of having 2 outlets connect into the 1. Can i just do 1 to 1 to 1? or does it matter?

Adding an outlet from an outlet can melt the plastic outlet. Use a pigtail or a junction box to connect each outlet and use gauge 12 wire, not 14.

I agree with your thoughts on the back connections of the outlets. I have seen them mess up and the wire slip out, fire hazard.

now that you added the fireplace, who is moving out?

In addition, my advice when using a metal box, always tape around the wire connections of the outlet, so the electrical connections can not touch the metal box.
