 4-ways are very similar to 3-ways, and in fact you use (2) 3-way switches
in a 4-way setup.

In this episode I talk about how to install an electrical plug-in
receptacle.  Plugs are pretty day one helper stuff, but I talk about some
methods of twisting joints, using strippers, cutting sheathing, and
mounting the devices that maybe some teachers out there don't use.

This episode covers the basics of installing an electrical switch.  I cover
mounting boxes, drilling holes, running 12/2 romex from a power source to a
new switch box.  From that switch box I install another piece of 12/2 romex
to a light above.  After wiring and rough-in I install a decor single-pole
15a switch and a keyless fixture with a lightbulb.

In this episode we talk about the many different types of electrical
testing equipment that electricians use daily.  This is a list of the
multimeters and electrical testers that I use, as an electrician, most
often.  We cover, plug testers, non contact voltage testers, toners,
multimeters, amp clamp and ammeters, continuity, amperage, voltage,
capacitance, and resistance.  If you're looking to buy a new tester or just
don't know where to begin, this episode is a great place to start.
