How to remove/install electrical outlet for beginners/Part 125:52
I have to laugh here because you will probably never see anyone else remove & install an electrical outlet as I am showing you how on these videos. Why? Because most people out there will not be a beginner at knowing just what to do in order to replace an existing outlet with a new one.
I am showing you the very easiest way for how YOU can remove & install an electrical outlet on your own. By the time you get ready to remove & install your 3rd or 4th outlet you might scratch the idea of removing an outlet half way to then start installing the new one before you even have the old one removed. Great!
Yes a professional electrician will obviously never remove & install an electrical outlet in the way I am showing you how to do it...because he is a professional at it.
Can you really learn from a professional on pretty much how to do anything? Maybe yes & maybe more than likely no because you will not have the experience or the feel or the know how for how to do this or that...until you start getting in there & doing it yourself.
A perfect example of this is have you ever seen a drywall finisher working with mud on floating out a drywall seam or corner or something similar on your facebook or twitter or tik tok feed? They make it look soooo easy you just want to get in there & do it too. News flash...you will never be able to do it like how they show on their quick videos because there is no way you will ever ever ever get it right because you are a beginner! Same thing with electrical or anything else for that matter...thus my videos. You will learn the ins & outs for how to do this or that, such as this video course, so rest assured any time you see one of my video courses or are thinking about signing up for this one or that one just know that my teaching style for those videos will be the same as here...showing the average Joe beginner (you) how to do things around the house so you can save your hard earned money!
Here's something else to realize. You will only learn so much by reading all that you can read on something you want to learn how to do. Thereby also meaning there is only so much you will learn from watching a video (me) showing you what to do & how to do it. I don't care if you watch these videos ten times or more there is only so much you will learn until you go out there & start doing things on your own & that's exactly why I do my videos!
I want to give you the confidence & where with all for the information that you will now need to apply on your own in order to start saving money around the house...boom!
