  I understand not sleeping. I can’t understand how much additional stress it must cause to also film all this on top of it. Thank you for showing us this adventure. Yours is my favorite channel and one day I’m coming over to Jersey and helping you on a job just to check it off my bucket list! I’m gonna do my best to unleash some hate on any negative commenters you get. Don’t let anyone discourage you from making videos because lots more of us are waiting every day for the next video. You’re the man Ron!

  And that&apos;s the exact reason why our service line had to be relocated forward from the rear side of our house to the front side. The line was 8&apos;9&quot; above ground at our house and only 14&apos; above the street. It&apos;s now on a full 10&apos; - 2&quot; rigid pipe mounted to the new service meter box that&apos;s 6&apos; above ground, so from 6&apos; up through the soffit and roof puts the service &nbsp;wire 10&apos; above ground at the house and it&apos;s at least 18&apos; to the connection on the utility pole out on the street. A tall truck should never strike our service lead now!<br><br>I enjoy your videos Ron! I do learn from you and have done many electrical projects at my own home. I do need to install a panel or sub-panel in our separate from the house garage. A previous owner has a rats nest of a wiring mess that I untangled to make safe, but it needs a panel with breakers and a few separate circuits. We have a freezer in the garage, and my wife has water features, lighting and I have a traeger smoker that needs underground wiring ran out to a pergola with lighting and a ceiling fan. I told her that extension cords are a bad way of powering things and even had a cord burn up starting a fire in a flowerbed in the wee hours of the morning that I had to run outside to check, unplug the cord and put the fire out! I was able to show her the proof though so, no more power cords used outdoors.

  Ron thanks for your video. Knowing that youve been doing this for a long time and still make mistakes actually makes me feel better about my mistakes. &nbsp;Live and learn is what I always say

  I’m really impressed that you’re able to solo these jobs and still manage to keep your composure. 💪

  Putting a lot of faith in that little fiberglass stepladder to keep you ungrounded 😊. Nice job with far from ideal conditions. I like these &quot;real world&quot; kind of videos!

  I had a standby generator professionally installed at my home 5 years ago. As a non-electrician, I got curious about what was done to prepare my home for the transfer switch and generator. I started watching your videos to understand. I appreciate the work you do to make really good videos. I appreciate the integrity of your electrical work. Thank you for helping me appreciate what electricians do and how the good ones do things right.

  I’m not an electrician, but I enjoy watching your work and hearing you quote from the code books as you work. Shows you know what you are doing, and I’m sure you’re a great teacher. I noticed a big improvement in your videography. Probably not just a camera change but your recording skills have taken a leap upward! Congrats!

  Ron <br>Great Job. <br>On the end of the quad plex service the utility company is using pre formed dead ends. Ron <br>You should be able to find them. They are really easy to install. Get yourself a service grip from Klein tools and a small come along or ratchet strap. <br>Keep up the great work. Your videos are very educational
