Here is part 2 ruclips.net/video/tbYHvVH_hmk/видео.html No matter what, if you're going underground code states that it must be 200 amps 4/0 wire in a 2-inch conduit.

How To Install A TV Mount To The Wall
This was the perfect video. You helped me fix my drying 😂❤ apparently the previous owners of this bad boy never cleaned it. Guessing that's why they got rid of it lol
can’t see a dang thing!!
Great video man. Thank you for this. And you made it fun 👍🏼
Ty sir. This helps greatly for a do it yourself home owner like myself. I appreciate it
I buy copper dust and dust the roof with it. I don't like the flashing sticking out. The dust impregnates the asphalt shingles and does same thing. Another point is asphalt shingles have a tack strip to keep them from lifting in wind. That copper flashing breaks that bond. Another thing is you don't have to lift established shingles trying to get a nail in and risk cracking the shingle. Dust is just better over all.
Lol u nailed it with hearing a pop and the wife yelling fire😅 I messed up changing dryer plug. Mixed the black and white.
Drill a 3/8 hole just before the nails or screws, use a jigsaw to cut across the board. It’s simple.
Thank you Sir, I appreciate your video..I have to install a 240V 15amp for an window a/c . I'm using 14 Gauge wire. My question is this , my run is 50' is that still a proper gauge wire to use? Thank you.
Use #12
My door hit on the side of the hinges when I try closing it. How to fix that?
We had a three prong stove put in with clickers for the gas elements. Wondered why the clickers worked sporadically. Finally got rid of that stove and bought a new one that had a 4 wire plug. Read the install sheet and it stated 3 wire plug will not operate the clickers correctly. Now we know. Putting in a 4 wire. Luckily the plug goes straight down to the basement so the wire run will be easy.
The one video that showed me exactly what I needed to see...how that wire slips through that acorn to the second ground. Thanks for your wisdom
My home is 1940 as well. It's about 1300 square feet. About how much does this g house your doing going to cost im wondering.
Great video, thank you!
Good for level five.
Very well done, thank you. Your demonstration and explanation is the best I've seen. Thank you again!
Slinging arms and pointing. I don’t think this is the place for me.
Unsat, unsafe. If you use a metal box, ground it
Thank you! Very informative and helpful. Unfortunately, the new dryers that stack don't have the lint doc's easily accessible from the back and you have to take the entire front off.
gonna leak something here... your dryer doesn't need to be using 30 amps, in fact, just a few pico amps. the reason it draws so much is because it was designed this way (on purpose), ie, the electric company needs to make money somehow. all your electronics, really, are designed to operate in the high amp range. 15amp vacuum cleaner, blender motor, etc.. turns out, a little project that draws energy out of the air feeds a heating element in the "pico amp range" and gets just as hot as your dryer's heating element. thanks to a few advancements in this field, the electric company is guaranteed to go out of business. give it a few years..
Pico... Delicious
Best DIY wiring tutorial hands down
Thanks buddy
American shovel's 😂😂😂😂😂 what about the banding around the edges of the patch.
This is great. Looks so easy. Now I don’t have to have extension cords all over my garage. Thank you!
You would think you show a close up of the top of the water heater so it would be helpful forba reference
Probably calling an electrician. I need to run a ground to old 3 prong dryer outlet, thankfully its like a foot away from the breaker. My 30yr old speed queen finally finally died and I'm loathing having to buy a new budget machine.
The heating element is glowing and I saw a spark inside. I cleaned out the vents I’m gonna try this. The dryer is very old I’m scared of it catching fire
Sparks! Junk it and buy a new one asap
Using this in 2024 on a Sony K-53HS10 from 2001.
It DOESNT matta!!! Great video. Thanks for posting.
Man, your videos really helped me out alot. Kept coming back and watching like wait whats the next step. thanks for the help,. Louie
You can really tell you like what you do, I respect that. Some people can be great at their craft and terrible at teaching it, you're not one of those guys.
Brother from the northeast best friggen video hands down no elaborate BS straight to the point, you are the man!!!
Thanks buddy, yeah who has time for BS
Great video ……….
I really appreciate your videos, I learn a lot thank you so much!
Always my pleasure.
Will that survive a transplant, or should a person dig a little bit around it some more dirt stays with it
I wouldn't think so. Not being pulled out like I did anyways.
"maybe you want that" ??? LMAO!!
Do you uae #10/2 wire or the 12/2?
Depends on the amps. 20 amp would be 12 wire. 10 would be 30 amp
Awesome.
Is there code for how far or close an outlet can be to the circuit box. I have to move my dryer to the opposite wall and the opposite wall contains the breaker box
No not at all. Distance, yes. But nothing you need to worry about.
Lmao I love the ending man thanks for this video. Very helpful. I think I mis connected my outlet thanks for this!
Thanks buddy, glad you liked it.
Good instructive video! Thanks!
Does anyone know what the round hole, just below the heating element, is for?
Love this guy. Thanks for the tips and the laughs.
Thank you. Very helpful to see.
I have a 1930 home in cheektowaga that has a similar situation ongoing and I must do the repair myself. This some crazy creative thought process. Thank you for posting. 4/9/24
Great video!
You're right about using a hammer on a ground rod. Me and a friend had to drive three of them for a commercial building, 8 feet apart. As soon as the end of that rod hit the hard pan, about 4 ft down, that was all she wrote. There's a provision in our code in California where we can lay them sideways, just so long as the 8 ft length is in the ground.
Great video! Right to the point. Is it within code (or an okay idea) to go from the circuit breaker to a junction box in an attic and then split the circuit to be at two receptacles on either side of my garage? I want to run two tools on either side of the garage not at the same time, but don't want to take up the space in the panel with a dedicated circuit. Also, say I did want to run the two tools at the same time - they are 6-20P plugs 12 amps - could I install a 30 amp breaker connected to two 20 amp receptacles?
No, the breaker must be no higher than 20 amp.
This is today's task. However, there is something i believe i missed that is very important. Did you run both hot wires from different incoming hot lines. One on each separate incoming line. Or both off the same incoming hot line. I've watched this video several times to be sure. Thanks awesome video
A 220/240 breaker would grab two different hots. Otherwise, it would be 120 volts, no matter what.
@Askmediy lol thanks. Quick question. We are to far away from the breaker box to run a line from the breaker box. Is there a way to do this using nearby lines or outlets?
What would you fill the hole with if it's much deeper because the soil underneath washed out?
Props to the inspector who cares enough to do his own tests!
No safety glasses.....
