I'm installing a new microwave / range vent hood above my stove and it needs an outlet in the cabinet. I decided to run a dedicated circuit breaker so that the microwave never flips a breaker if other devices are being used. This is a documentary of my process, if you're not comfortable doing DIY electric work do not risk it.

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
