DAY IN THE LIFE OF A 24 YEAR OLD ELECTRICIAN - INSTALLING A CHARGEPOINT EV CHARGER IN TOUGH BASEMENT

What happens here

Using a fish tape, the main 6/3 Romex wire is pulled from the garage's pilot hole into the basement. The electrician then meticulously routes and secures the wire through the basement's drop ceiling, ensuring it is properly stapled to the wooden joists. This prevents the wire from sagging and ensures it's safely tucked away above the ceiling tiles. Care is taken to navigate around existing structures and 'annoying ceiling tiles' to maintain a clean and code-compliant installation.

Goal: Route the 6/3 Romex wire from the garage to the electrical panel
