07/01/2020 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM PT

Description

Ever wonder how electricians run wire through walls and ceilings without so much as making a tiny hole? Curious to learn to do it yourself? Well... you can!

Join us virtually for a live, video seminar as we demonstrate how to "fish" wire within walls and spanning rooms, and how to safely install it to the boxes hidden behind your drywall. This class is Part 1 of our first online homeowner electrical series (Part 2 covers Switches & Outlets), and in it we'll cover:

  • "Old-Work" vs. "New-Work"
  • Stripping wire & identifying hot/neutral/ground
  • Safely cutting through drywall
  • Identifying hazards or barriers within walls
  • Pulling or "Fishing" wire from boxes to fixtures (e.g. overhead fans or lights)
  • When to upgrade your old wire
  • When to call in a professional
  • and plenty more!

Whether you're a homeowner, or you've just wondered how electricity gets from A-to-B, join us! Presentation begins promptly at 6:00, followed by Q&A. 

Registration will close at 5:00pm the day before the seminar.
Cost: $15
