Project Overview and Initial Planning

can't pass it. Hey, welcome back to another episode on this abandoned house series. If you're brand new to the channel and you haven't been following along, we bought this abandoned house. It's 63 years old. Nobody's been living here in a while, and we are gutting it from bottom to top. So, in the last episode, we demoed this entire abandoned kitchen.

The electrical panel got relocated over here in the garage where it's supposed to be. The goal of today is going to be to run all brand new electrical through this entire house. And if you're wondering why brand new electrical, well, let me show you. So, these are the existing 142 cables. As you could see, they are getting worn out.

And so being a potential fire hazard, we have to replace every single one of them and of course add any outlets that conveniently might be needed. So we're going to start with the kitchen today because we already demoed it. The kitchen has to have 20 amp uh outlets. Uh for the lights, they could be 15 amp.

You have your appliances, you have your dishes, you have your cooktops. It all drains far more energy than any rest of the house. So, the plan here is going to
