" We here in the sitting area of the second floor let's kind of run through these the room I know we've got. I date that is going in here absorption that's right and we didn't put any reason receptacles in the back here that. The date that's gonna protect the wiring in this area that care what are these wires or those efforts -- person reading lights so we'll have lights mounted on the stud here that's right. And what about up in the cathedral ceiling there we have a panel and the center of the room and and track lines. Mean close the windows like this window that first color. -- that a watched the whole wall on the ended here. And then receptacles along the unload every how many feet every twelve feet. OK -- we went in there yet another we're close to the corner of course the question in my mind is how how do you protect the Romex when you've got an exposed like that system. Run along the edge of the law. Would this be failures outside -- Ito is a bit of a challenge what we did was we call the local wiring inspector. And that we ascended that we can allow us to cover protectors wire with this is what dispatched. Maybe we're just gonna rip down some boards. And put some flash cuts on at the table so and cover the parameter with. A -- like that that's correct yup. Now we could have done a wire metal raceway on reliable. National that we do it yet but in this case I'm talking and he felt that this news. Let's go the main thing it to check with -- local inspector. Now we're using the wire mold boxes right yes and what -- run it through the steps of about wiring -- Cocaine when rusty deploying air disaster in the wires. And -- he'll proceed news putting out connector. On the gas on the box and is that why camel -- but the main thing to find his back inside there's always agreeing not. And what he's that worked that's a grounding screw right we want to take that. The bare copper. That's right wrapped around there the grounding screw in the ground screw accepts the grounding conductor. Ethnic grounds and metal box OK. Now how how do you attach the the box to India. The stud there and rested we'll do is put I would screw. Through the gun back of the box and secured to the side of the stud. Two of those in place. And that's basically the finished work right yes it is very if we're able to the finish work also would just -- out. Lou didn't manage forests -- what he'll do their street box up and then the grabbed his grounding wires together. And to secure those around ninth green grounding screw. Our equipment that's -- in addition to work in these tight spaces one -- many years of failure. All right. And from their annual attaches neutral mister white wires. And how wires that we also calling ground at Mars will be attached to the out. So there's a little bit -- here installation that I your average do you think it adds much the cost of the whole got pine it does with the with the the drilling is. A little bit more yet to be little more carefully drilling these outside walls."
