  I should add that you might want a junction box in the middle of this whole thing (in the attic) in case you want to add another outlet/whatever to this circuit later.

  They’re not saying to do this at any/every job, just shitty ones with shitty people

  No.

  You cut the hole where the outlet will be.

  You feed romex wire down from the attic to that hole (ideally with metal sheath).

  The part at the circuit box is important to do and do properly, but doesn’t pertain to your question, so I won’t get into that.

  Then you insert a box in the drywall hole and feed the wire into the box. Secure the box to the stud/backside of the drywall. Attach the wires to the receptacle and secure it in the box. Install a cover plate (adjusting the 4 metal tabs at the receptacle corners with pliers may be necessary for it to sit flush).

  And that’s it. Except for the circuit box part. But don’t attempt that as a layperson.

  The head and tail aren’t adjacent if you only look at my blue line and not the original. But my attempt fails due to the far left edge.

  Either I’m misunderstanding the problem or a length of 8 is possible.

  Losing their minds?

  Recognizing that a douchebag is a douchebag doesn’t necessitate losing your mind… You just write him off like the many other douchebags.

  Yup. Why waste time voting when the libs are already getting owned every day? There are college football games to watch and light beers to crack open.
