well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I'm going to show you how I put in an underground
cable an electrical cable from one of my utility sheds to my brand-new shed and I'm using this
wire right here it's 14 - and it's Underground cable and the only way you can tell a difference
really as you can see the casing on the outside is probably three times the thickness guys this
is the way that I'm doing it I can't recommend doing this any other place in the world because
I don't know what your permits are like and your building inspection type of gizmos stuff
I didn't get no permit I didn't go nowhere near that guys no no I did it my way this is the way
she's going in the ground and not set these guys let me know what you think well you're gonna let
me know I know you will so I'm gonna take you out in the backyard I'm gonna show you what I
did I got the building all painted I'll show you what the building looks like yes I built
a utility shed and it's eight by twelve and if you want to put a link down below so you
can follow along with the series starting off the first one how I built the platform and it's
pretty interesting stuff I'll tell you what so let's go in the backyard I'll show you what I'm
doing and these guys let me know what you think we'll start off right there what kind of tools
I use you could see the three tools I used and we'll start off at the beginning here and yeah
this is some kind of a redneck ingenuity going on here isn't it yeah so that's it right there and I
put it inside this this tubing that goes all the way along underneath the ground here and that's
about seven eight inches under the ground and goes to the shed right here and I'll take you
back here and there's the shed I'll paint it next bit I'm gonna show you how I put a door it seems
like I'm doing everything else wrong so I'll show you how not to put a door in I guess but
uh well we'll start over there there's where the utility comes in I brought it up the wall
brought it up there right across guys I brought it down right here and I like to put these clips
in and guys you know I go rate squirrely if the wire is not straight so I got to have the wire
straight all the time you can't have it bent and it comes down here and I put a little receptacle
down on the bottom guys I can't buy one of them receptacles it's not childproof and I can barely
get a plug in there drives me nuts so let's turn on lights here we go let's take a look yeah we got
some lights there and I like them LED lights and they're just fantastic youse guys let me know it
if you've had any luck with these type of tamper proofs are called tamper proof receptacles guys I
can barely plug anything into it so that's that's pretty funny I'm telling you I looked around Home
Depot all over the place they're all tamper proof now well what do you think guys that's that's how
I roll up here and that's how I do it I'm not too sure but right if it's wrong I'm not too
sure that's the way I do it and the only reason why I put that conduit in there you never know
like maybe 50 years when I'm not here somebody's out in the backyard and they're digging along you
know for some reason well at least they'll hit that and he won't hit the wire that's my thinking
I think it's a good thing to do and it's something I've been doing for a long time now a lot of times
if I'm running heavier cable I'll put it in ABS but you know the thicker heavy gauge plastic but
that's a good way to do it and I have looked in my building codes up here over the years
and they're talking about putting sand down there and then putting a pressure-treated board and all
I don't know what they're talking about half the time it's very hard to follow building codes but
you really should ask and get it done properly I'm not too sure if this is the right way to do
it or not but this is the way I'm doing it a lot of people are very you know like sceptical boats
showing anything on YouTube that isn't to the building code and for me this is the way I'm
doing it and if nobody doesn't like it well that's too bad because you know what I'm covering that
dirt up in about ten minutes and off we go so thanks for joining me here today if you haven't
seen this channel before well you're welcome to subscribe and I'm putting that door in next and
I'm gonna show you how I do it because I know a lot of people are gonna say I'm doing it wrong but
I'm gonna show you how not to put a door in maybe okay these guys take care come back again Cheers
