    Great video! My kitchen doesn't have nearly enough outlets. Thank you!
  • @jbnotbot4654
    Very informative video for a beginner. Thanks for the great communication.

  • @hang4963

  • @cherylseaangel153
    Hello, thank you for this video, it is exactly what I was looking for. In my garage I have a GFCI that is on the other side of the garage from the sink. Unfortunately for me the GFCI is the outlet closest to my Landscape Irrigation timer thus when it trips (and it has when I was out of the country) my landscaping & grass was almost dead from the Texas heat. Would it be possible to put the GFCI & the other outlet in a double gang box? I really would like to pull power from this GFCI and add another outlet in an upper cabinet so that I can plug in my battery chargers out of sight.
  • @jayp3687
    Ur channel is fuego 🔥 my guy👍🏼.
  • @Lovetoflyeast
    question : can this connection goes first to none GFI plug and to a GFI plug ? thanks for the great video you know how to make it simple.
  • @HungNguyen-sb1yu
    I have an outlet in my bathroom, no GFCI. Can I add a GFCI using the wires from that outlet for a bidet? Thank you so much for your help.
  • @garyczerkas9924
    Excellent video....this did not fix my issue with the load of the GFCI tripping my plug, but it is very well done.
  • @nahpungnome
    Thank you for this video. When we had our bathrooms remodeled, our contractor put GFCI outlets as required by the sink, but the circuit that it's on also has bathroom outlets on it (older home). Every time the bathroom GFCI triggered, all of our bedroom outlets would lose power because they hooked up the downstream to the load connectors. I've rewired my GFCI outlets this way and now triggering the bathroom outlets don't cause loss of power to our bedrooms.
  • @garintiger
    I have existing GFCI outlet in the patio. I would like to add another outlet in the patio using power source from existing GFCI. Do you recommend the new outlet to be another GFCI or regular (not protected) outlet? Thank you.
  • @tamimorales1116
    Can it be wired the opposite way? Reg receptical as the main source then attach a gfi in the bathroom on adjacent wall?
  • @stetsonforsure
    Correct me if I’m wrong but you are not supposed to use 15a outlets on a 20a breaker.
  • @joelblauvelt5062
    Plrase tell me: Why woudn't you simply wire to downstream terminals of GFCI & protect the other receptacle?
  • @BuzzRetirementGarage
    My situation: Breaker to GFCI no ground wire. Line in....load out.... to next non-GFCI outlet. Outlet has power but shows open ground. Ok or nah?
