  I am helping a buddy tomorrow add a circuit breaker in his little weekend house in the country. &nbsp;I wanted to refresh my memory and found this is the best instructive video I have ever seen. &nbsp;Thank you!

  I&apos;ve been an electrician for 35+ years, we didn&apos;t have some of the tools you do. But always hookup first the ground, then the neutral, then the power. Remember electricity takes the simplest route, so you don&apos;t want to be it.

  Whenever I turn off the main power to the panel (typically the large breaker at the top), I also turn off each individual breaker before I turn the main power back on so there&apos;s not a large power surge going back into the whole system. &nbsp;So the turn on procedure is: main panel breaker on first, then turn back on each individual breaker.

  Outstanding! Not many have the rare combination of technical depth + presentation skills; this is what makes Ben stand out. The key to great videos is getting the message across to the viewer and making them understand by watching just once. Keep it up!
