What it concludes

• A Zenith trim puller is the best way to pull trim without damaging the wall.
• Cutting the drywall below the trim line allows the new drywall to hide cut lines upon reinstallation.

• Pre-installing connectors on romex before feeding it through tight spaces prevents connection difficulties.
• WAGO 221 lever nuts are an efficient and reliable wire connector choice.
