I put all my garage cabling in black conduit pipes and fitted MK metal-clad switches and sockets just because I wanted that industrial feel to the garage. It appeals to my engineering mindset. Yes, I'm a DIYer with too much time on my hands 😊

[ianflint]

I installed conduit on all the services in the garage to provide additional safety - There's much stuff always being moved around such as garden tools, wood, ladders, bikes on hangers etc. The kids were less than observant and careful when getting their stuff out. Did all that and then an electrician changed our board, rerouted the circuits into the garage and then installed his own cables using tie-wraps on the conduit. All the benefit undone!

[HYUKLDER]

Theory of why the wiring conduit was installed at the same level of joists rather than on top or below, is that maybe the garage owner planned to install a ceiling below and a floor covering above.

[richardlewis]

I always enjoy seeing how you install various items if only to see if my installs have been wrong for the last 40 years!! This garage install seemed very 'over the top' but did not appear to incorporate a switch at the garage door AND the house door. This is usually essential and therefore the wiring as installed would not have been suitable. I would have removed all the existing wires and conduits and done a simple two way circuit to serve them all with the cable stapled to the top of the joists out of sight. Why would anyone need a remote control? Just more expense.

[SimonHollandfilms]

thanks those led work lights are great...as a DIY bloke, i also appreciated their ease of fitting and flexibility to wire up.

[martinjefferson]

Interesting that you have all these cool tools for stripping flat twin and earth cable etc but you used a pair of snips to strip the core insulation on the flex cable. In an industrial/nuclear environment we used proprietary wire stripper to avoid inadvertently cutting some off one or more of the individual cores in the stranded cable. We then fitted AMP crimps/ferrules to the cores and terminated in KLIPPON terminals. I enjoy your channel particularly the solar installs and fault finding.

[MrWeddingPhotography]

Just to pick up on something you said, ‘some diy’ers think it’s ok just to put the switch off but that means the neutral is still connected’ ?? 🤷🏼‍♂️ on all installs pre RCBO’s the neutrals are still connected even when you switch the circuit off at the board.

[WaynesWorld]

Its done like that (conduit and bends) coz it was done by a conscientious DIYer! A leccy pointed to some work in my house and said 'You did that didn't you?' I said Yeah how'd you know? ... 'Cos its too neat' LOL

[Ben-gmlo]

Great video thanks. Music too loud, had to keep turning up and down volume to avoid annoying people in the next room! Love the conduit work in a garage - someone was enjoying themselves!

[Chris_In_Texas]

Make sure that in a commercial environment that you also have a tag with contact info and company name. I have seen a number of times locks had to be cut off because at the end of a project there is still a lock on the device, the person forgot it. It's not so important with residential, unless you have many trades working in the same area. 🤠👍

[Justyburger]

Nice. I will never forget the day I climbed up a high ladder in a warehouse, to hacksaw through an SWA. I was an apprentice at the time and was assured that the circuit was dead by my boss. As I hacksawed, the blade blew in half and I nearly fell backwards off the ladder, but I grabbed the rung just in time. I should have known, as my Bosses nickname was The Cowboy. I thought it was only because he wore Cowboy boots, but there was more to it obviously.

[georgewills-ekgg]

0:23 : I felt that. It's like watching a child or a pet struggle to do something and just laughing at them.

[sparky]

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE! I stopped the video right in the middle, and replaced my 2 double-tube fluorescent fixtures with LED fixtures :) Looks amazing! Unfortunately, JCC is not available in any local 'USA' stores :( One hour later, I watched the rest of the video :)

[jam.bear.allday]

They may use conduit everywhere if they use the over head space for storage e.g. Christmas trees wood

[bibliotek]

I did this myself two years ago and it was a massive improvement

[andrewjameson]

I repalced my GLS fitting in my loft with a nice flourcent tube over 20 years ago. It tokk me 4 hours to do but I was lone working.

[Paul-mik]

Great to see some beginner friendly installs. Would be great to see more.

[EsotericArctos]

You mentioned that just turning off the light switch leaves the neutral connected. A lot of breakers are just single pole, so they also would leave the neutral connected, so that might not be relevant. That said, here in Australia, even changing a light fitting like you are doing is illegal unless you are an electrician.
There are some good safety tips in this video and quite helpful.

[justme]

Been there, done that at 2:27 and I'm a qualified electrician. Had an excavator cut a main feed line from the pole where the meter was to the house, was a 4x16mm2 copper I think. I had the copper end visible in the end and the pen didn't say anything. Also the driver of the excavator had his pen and it had given a signal that it was live, he then unscrewed the fuses that was to the garage and the signal was gone. I used a battery makita grinder to cut the cable, my intention was to repair the cable with two junctions and a meter or two of cable between. The driver was the homeowner and he was digging a new feed to the house, this one I was repairing was gonna be disconnected but was still a month till that. I got half way in the cable and queue a loud bang. Turns out the cable wasn't fed from the 3x35A fuses to the garage, it was fed by the main fuses, 3x125A (it's a farm). No harm done, just a scare. But can say my Fluke T5-1000 has been a lot more in use since that.

Love to see the pros using the same Mr. Quality crimper that I bought. I didn't have much trust in it but if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me!
