DIY- How To Wire a Small cabin

[aderfigueroa]

I gotta a small shed that I want to wire, I didn't even know where to start.. I still don't know but I can just watch your video for guidance when I'm ready to do it.

12 gauge wires can be challenging to twist correctly. There are some good videos on yt that show this. Get a good pair of linesman pliers and some scrap 12 gauge and practice. Alternatively, you could use Wago lever nuts and forget the hassle. All that extra sheathing is robbing you of space in the box. Use a deep box, 20 or 22.5 cu in. Use a green wire nut with a hole in it for ground, it saves space and eliminates the need for a separate pigtail.

I'm jealous of that drill! Nice video.

Just watched your video and it's just what I need to get started doing my shed "Man Cave". I will be running a 30amp Generator for power however I was hoping to see you connect the wires from the Generator Connector to the Circuit Box because that's where I'm stuck right now. Can you tell me where you connected the wires? Thanks!!!

Thanks for this video. I have a starting point for my she shed

Just use the 4 screws 2 silver neutral 2 brass hot less joints and space in electrical box

[FrankGreenway]

Why not connect top and bottom on each side of the plug?

FYI....many of those blue"new work" boxes have depth markings molded into the box themselves.

Nice video and good information, but I'd put the ground down. Code doesn't specify, but most equipment that needs it one way or another is designed for ground down. Also, OSHA recently made one of my clients, an electrical firm, change theirs to ground down stating one is less likely to break the ground connector off when unplugging if it's down.

Yes! Finally someone on YT that knows how to properly orientate an electrical outlet right-side-up, which is for safety reasons.

Thanks for do this video man. Are you still in Minnesota. I have a question about doing an apprenticeship with you

[spratsprat]

Any reason why you pigtailed the hot and neutral wires instead of putting both neutral wires on both of the silver terminals and both hot wires on both of the brass terminals?

[aderfigueroa]

I like that " it's code out here for me" first guidance to follow

[bigchippa]

even tho the plug is flipped, it was still a good video and worth a thumbs UP... (its called ground for a reason, otherwise if it was meant to be UP it would be called sky)

[joesphayala]

is this the same as rv style? i'm trying to wire to hook up to a rv power station. would i do the same and the only difference is just the plug-in adapter at the end?

Can you use a gfci outlet on that instead of the one you used?

[perucabana]

nice job, extra tape that is a good idea

Google analytics must be reading my mind, because I just bought the wiring and outlet boxes for an outbuilding today. But I will probably use drywall instead of car siding for most of it. Do you know how far out those boxes should sit for drywall instead of car siding?

Thank you for this video very helpful we will be wiring our cabin soon!
