Sparky here. Only thing I would suggest us putting your chicken kitchen outlets on a 20a circuit and a dedicated 20a for the microwave. Most appliances draw up to 12amps each. Code in kitchens is 2 20amp circuits, but that for dwellings, not live stock. 😉.

Hey Andy, still praying for You, the wife, and the kids.
I hope God's grace and peace finds you all.

[garyreed-rc]

Dude...I am so sorry I just found you. Big praise for your content. All of it is how I would have done it. (Jus so ya kno, that's a huge compliment!) Nothing but best for you and your wife in your future.😢

Andy I’d give your microwave and coffee pot and toaster a go on the chicken kitchen circuit before you cover the wires. Hi amp-draw appliances going at the same time while the chickens are making scrambled eggs and toast might over power that 15amp breaker.

If so, re-run it with 12ga romex to a 20 amp breaker.

Theres been a few sparkies in here already, but they are all correct. For the chickens kitchen area, you WILL want 20a lines for those plugs. i would suggest only 2 plugs per circuit in that area. If these chickens need hot water from a kettle or you feel like making them toast, you will want the beefier power

Electrifying! Making a really nice place for those beloved chickens!

[joshhunter]

I've been a plasterer for 23 years and I wish I would've become an electrician. They have it the best of all the trades.

It feels like we are finally getting to see you complete the cabin! OG vibes I loving it!

[elzamiller]

Thanks Andy. I'm sure the chickens will appreciate your work.

The one thing I have always loved about your video's is you explain everything in simplest terms instead of all technical, I actually understand more about wiring in a house better than I ever have. Thank You
