  • Perfect and I’ve used it for ballon arches as enjoyable.fishing recommend well as other decor with parties. It is strong and will hold up well. It works so good that another decorator stole my roll at an event!

    Very helpful that it was slow and detailed. Some of the comments say too detailed, but those people have probably already done a few of these. I appreciate how it covered everything.

    I grew up doing this exact install with my father for all outlets. I just got a fix-me-upper for my first house and need to install this outlet 8n the kitchen, replacing a normal outlet for a convection/microwave combo. Thanks for the quick, informative how-to. Refreshed my memory, especially about not jamming the wires into the box, but working with them. Also, GREAT tip on the double box with bigger faceplate. I was going to do a single, this saved me hassle and it LOOKS way nicer. New convection microwave successfully installed. Now onto all my other honey-dos. Thank you! Subscribed.

    Thanks, helps me out. I want to make a separate laundry room about 15 feet away from where the washer and dryer is now and never wired a receptacle for a dryer before.

    Excellent video! I used a metal fish-tape, feeding it in through the In-hole, and then a telescoping magnet to get ahold of the fish-tape inside the wall, and pull it to where I could grab it and pull it out through the Out-hole.

    Thank you so much. I didn't know that it didn't matter which hot side the hot wires went to.
