  It amazes me as to how you just know so confidently the cuts and location work out.

  My understanding went from zero to 100%, it is a fantastic video, I'm closer to having it done. Thanks for your video.

  You did a very good job, ez to watch! You don’t have a bunch of crap.<br>I also was waiting to see if you would pick up on moving the ground as first means of disconnect has changed. Great job.<br>I would probably tighten the wires the same as you.<br>But if you have a picky inspector, he may want to see your toque wrench. And maybe the Noax.<br>I myself would just have the toque wrench laying there.<br>I’m an industrial electrician of 45+ years. And we need new blood like you in the trade. <br>Again very goof job!!!

  This video is actually informational and entertaining. It helped me a great deal with my own installation.

  Great work. I always get a kick out of the fact that the wire cutters are purpose-built and nice and the wire gets skinned with a utility knife. They make a stripper for that, but nobody uses it.

  I enjoyed your two videos on installing and wiring a generator and transfer switch. I am sure this has helped someone.

  I needed a unit <a href="https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y">https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y</a> that I could store in my home when I wasn&apos;t running, so it being light and running on propane were key requirements. I can store the propane tank/bottle outside yet store the generator in my home when it&apos;s not in use as I will never put any gas in the engine. It is so light, and on echo mode, which I expect is how it will be used most of the time, it is pretty darned quiet (certainly compared to all the generators I hear in my neighborhood after each power outage).Many of the previous reviews had me concerned that it would be difficult to start on propane, but I have to say, I had absolutely no problem at all. I primed it first using the choke...3 pulls, heard the engine want to start, flipped it to propane, and one more pull and she started. I ran it for 2 hours the first time and plugged it in my fridge. And when I was done, I put the propane tank away and carried the generator to my basement for next time.I could not be happier.

  Suggestion - for a temporary situation or a permanent solution, get a Generlink meter base adaptor. Would recommend the 40 amp unit. <br>Safe, very easy to use, super easy (5 min.) for the electric company to install. <br>I have no ties to the company. I bought one and it&apos;s a great solution. Using it with my Generac standby genset. Simply plug in the cord when needed, unplug when done.
