welcome back! If you guys follow me on any other social media platform (Instagram, TikTok or Facebook)you know I’ve been working at a Carwash on and off.

Great stuff! Seen lots of house wiring, but the way you handle the big stuff is new and awesome. Hey for mounting flat items on uneven surfaces, short lengths' of ~1/2" PVC conduit as standoffs can be your friend. If it's a _really_ uneven surface, you can put work gloves on, make them soft with a heat gun and press them on the surface to get any shape needed.

A tip from a Canadian , after fitting the flex put a string through it to pull with . Then finish putting it together . Use the string to pull wires . I never use metal tape around panels or transformers . Be safe pretty girl .

Just wondering if I misunderstood that she said the code does not allow line & load conductors in the same raceway. Usually that only applies to wires on utility company metering. All drive manufacturers tell you to always use a separate conduit for the feed ( line ) and output( load ) but its not a NEC requirement. I installed a 4 pole 7 day timer and only used 3 of the poles to control Christmas lights. Ran 3 line wires, 3 load wires ,a neutral for the clock motor and a ground wire all inside a 6' piece of EMT. Would pass inspection every time. On drives that produced DC for a DC motor we always keep the AC line wires in a separate conduit from the DC wires.

Designing a Rotating Gallery Wall: Designate a section of your home as a rotating gallery wall. Use frames, shadow boxes, or corkboards to display their art. As new pieces are created, replace the older ones. This way, you can showcase their current work while still preserving their past creations. Dont forget to put mirrors at the ceiling of your bedroom. Different color lighting can bring the most of the wild life

That was awesome! I love the extended vids!! I know they're much more work on your end but they're quite interesting. Shit man, I'd watch your live stream too if you'd do one from a job site. You don't even have to narrate it. Just stream it live while you're working. Big Rig Travels is a channel on YT and he's a trucker that streams every hour of his work day, except when he's at the shipper or getting loaded. He will literally do like 11 hours of streaming and there are hundreds of people that watch that!! hahah I'm one of them and love it. I just find electrical work so fascinating.

Helped with a demolition job of Sam the Record Man, downtown, turning into a Multi-tech, and a fight broke out between two street vendors selling shirts. One even pulled a knife out. And then the fight rolled into the zone we were working in. With broken florescent tubes. And me and my co-worker and buddy had to stop the fight. Because you get cut by that broken glass, it makes it tough for the blood to stop. I always feel safe, like a Slavic Viking Warrior, every time I strap my saddle on, nice and safe, with a trusty well made hammer by my side. And why we promote no fighting on the job.

I have a safety question.... would you cover the mains incomer terminals with a screen in future? I know its unlikely.... but a stray wire or snake could hit a live terminal and the result wouldn't be pretty.... I remember taking big metal covers off of main switchboards exposing 400V busbars carrying a lot of amperes.... one slip and I/we would have been history.... no flash protection or nothing.... wouldn't be allowed these days... was decades ago.... Stay safe and keep the video's comin..... very interesting Regards from an Ex New Zealand Sparky

Those screws are difficult to install in those lights. Those are Topaz lights. We get those from Graybar. You have to line up the bracket just right. On the time clock they are called "Trippers" on the clock face for the lights to turn ON and OFF.

Just wish that all of the dedicated people who produce electrical vidios abide by OSHA & common sense and wear the proper PPE every time its required. Also should tell peop!e exactly what PPE & LOTO requires. The strict place that I retired from would fire you if you remove the cover from an energized panel without all the required PPE. Here's a trick for installing large heavy covers. Drill & tap a 1/4" fine thread hole in top dead center of panel frame. Install a 1" long 1/4" fine thread hex head bolt with a lock washer on it and threads sticking out. I like to use a wing nut to secure panel covers.Use a counter sink on back of panel door to make installing the bolt easier. Bolt will hold entire weight of door. On 800 to 1200 amp panels that we had to tie in load banks every month for generators would spend time and install 3 heavy duty 4" hinges on 8' high panel doors. Took me over 5 years to get cave man to purchase 200 amp 600 volt cord connectors & panel inlets to greatly speed up tying in several 100 KW load banks for a generator.
