New electrical outlet install behind the TV, branching off of an outlet near the floor. ⚡

I still have yet to see a residential homebuilder install a recessed outlet in an area designed for a TV but this approach does help save space and avoid shorting the outlet (worst case scenario). 🔌

This outlet alright about the max of three circuiting currently ran into a 1- gang box and the 14ga wires are a bit brittle (1960’s build), the ground wires were cracking off when bending to nut together which took the majority of the time on this project.

“Old work” gang boxes don’t work with recessed outlets without modification due to the plastic channels inside that limit the outlet. These need to be partially removed, an oscillating/multi tool and needle nose pliers work perfectly to remove them flush.

We didn’t need a low voltage pass thru plate for wires at the bottom but routing the new 12/2 (overkill but it’s what I have) wire to the bottom left of the existing (new work) gang box would have been virtually impossible otherwise. 💡

This home was built in ‘77, sold in ‘78 for $48K.

The bathroom sink faucets installed by the builder have served the homeowners for over four decades now, and the handles that open the valve have ceased to mostly ceased.

This is a great opportunity for replacement which we did with a few .

To the individuals that stole my 18 and 15 gauge finish cordless nailers, series battery power station and other items from my Van (with a security system) while I was working all night until 5am Saturday morning in West Seattle that I need for this project. I have a big gift for you, contact me for details.looks.like.shxt
