I Built My Daughter A Dream Bunk Bed

What happens here

For the electrical installation, cut out sections of drywall to expose wall studs for running wires. Disconnect the original outlet behind the bed and convert it into a junction box, covering it securely. Run new Romex electrical wire through the wall cavity to a new outlet location above the bed. Splice the wires at the junction box and connect the new outlet, ensuring proper grounding. Additionally, run wire for a sconce light. Install the necessary switches for the lights.

Goal: Relocate and install electrical outlets and wiring for lighting.

man we overcame our demons next up we got electrical here's the issue this is an iore nobody wants this right over their head so the solution that Irene and I came up with is we're going to have one giant headboard here like a a what are they called tufted tuft I I don't I don't know poolery so the headboard is going to be all cushioned here we can't have it be covering the outlet so this is going to be a junction box we'll cover that up we'll shoot power up here relocating that outlet right there then we're going to continue this power to put a scun right there cuz who doesn't like scones is it Wisconsin scones there's going to be a light there that light is going to have a switch here so I'm drawing out my pattern here I'm going to use my oscillating tool create my channel to have the least amount of headaches of tinkering with drywall and the fun thing about it that'll be all shiplap so I don't have to do like fine fishing touches with drywall I'm always in the situations where I cut this thing out and I can't get my hammer in there this is [Music] dumb feeding cable man it's like pulling teeth ah victory [Music] so here's going to be the science I'm going to disconnect this Outlet tether all these together so now we'll have power going up this will be a blank junctioning box power is going to come out here Outlet jumping from there put an outlet here to regulate that scon [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] no more [Music] Outlet all right let's see if I remember how to hook up a switch so you have the hot cable on top hot cable on the bottom of the switch the single pole switch then we're going to connect to the common together when I was learning to do this I accidentally kept frying all my outlets and Breakers and then I finally learned how to do it the right way thanks YouTube and then we do a piggyback with the ground
