i don't know who this woman is but she IS NOT a licensed electrician and all her advice should be completely ignored. the way she installed that outlet was painful to watch. the only thing she said that made sense was to turn off the power before doing any work. after that she should've told people to hire a licensed electrician. electricity is capable of starting fires and fires destroy property and sometimes take lives. electricity also directly kills fools stupid enough to listen to hacks like her. the National Electrical Code was never once referred to in her so-called installation. article 110.12 of the 2008 NEC says electrical equipment shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner (page 33)... her work was not neat (she hacked that box in and hacked that romex sheathing off and hacked the insulation of the wires, and munched the screws, etc), nor was is in a workmanlike manner, meaning she probably hasn't heard of the accepted industry practices for good workmanship in electrical installations. if anybody is reading this, PLEASE, have enough sense to call a licensed electrician and don't attempt these "simple" things.
