    In the UK it is customary for other electricians to point out how badly the work was carried out by another contractor
  • Guy was a logger, then a home builder, then a blacksmith, then a 1 million sub YouTube guy! Wow a powerhouse! Always impressed Sir!
  • @haphazard1342
    Around 8:00 it looks like your electrician has run a lot of holes through those engineered joists. Worth mentioning for the YouTube audience that engineered joists have limits on the number and size of holes you can put in them for installs like this.
  • @mr.h4714
    Watching the electrician twist, cut to length and then seat those grounds into the box all with a couple quick movements of the crimpers he was using was amazing.....you can tell it's muscle memory developed from thousands of times of being done
  • It's a Christmas miracle!!!! Essential Craftsman wore a respirator when he was supposed to!!!! I can't believe it!!!!!
  • @BubbasDad
    From a retired Electrical Inspector; neatness always received extra points. It showed that the installer cared about the work and took extra effort to see it done right.

    Been an electrician for over 50 years now, like a couple of others, I do like seeing how other electricians do their work. However, I do question the main service meter enclosure within the wall! It does look nice but!! I know that the main service drop is enclosed in conduit, but is is still inside the house! Should something happen to the meter or service drop to the house, the only protection this has is back at the transformer from the utility! Also, like to see more on how you are going to feed the sub-panel with 200 amps from the 200 amp panel in the garage ???? I still really enjoy watching the Chanel! The detail you have included is just Great!!
  • @dmkaeding
    Excellent time to pull communication, computer, and entertainment wires too. Working for Ma Bell for decades, I encountered many brand new beautifully crafted homes and I had to drill a hole and have exposed surface mount wiring. It was a shame they didn't plan better.
  • @clayed
    Always interesting to see how things are done elsewhere.
  • @bryanwinsor9392
    What do you call 12 electricians on a scaffold? A whine rack🙂🎅❤
  • @av_990
    As an electrician, and a fan of the channel, ive been waiting for a video like this! Cool watch 👍
  • @BluntStuff
    I could've watched him wire those boxes all day. So efficient with those crimper/cutters.
  • @TokyoCraftsman
    I've been waiting to see this electrical video. My whole family on both sides are sparkies, both grandfathers, my dad, my older brother, several uncles, various cousins, etc, and my dad was an electrician and then he became an electrical inspector of the province for 30 years. I grew up doing this work. Yep, I was waiting to see the panel, you can tell a LOT about your electrician by how he makes his panel, this one looks great! Cheers from Tokyo, and Merry Christmas! Stu

    When I was a kid, in the back of the comic books, there was an ad for a gag called the ‘Joy-Buzzer’. By about the age of 9, I knew how much I hated getting shocked, so this looked like a hilariously funny gag to play on friends. From the cartoon picture in the ad, it appeared to pack quite a wallop. What the ad failed to reveal, was that the perpetrator received about the same ‘shock’ as the victim. After an agonizing 6-8 weeks waiting for delivery, it finally came. I secretly palmed the toy (per the instructions), held my hand out to my brother for heart-felt, honest handshake and WHAMO! we were both ‘shocked’. I hated that toy! I think I might have used it twice before trading it away for something less ‘painful’. I think from that point, I knew working with electricity was not in the cards for me. I love all the things it can do for us, but I’ll leave it up to someone else to work on the installation part.
  • @salsyou
    It is also helpful to the electrician to have a builder who is involved with the process. Just one example to make the meter, panel, equipment layout, etc look good and incorporate with the construction. As an electrician I appreciate that. Thanks
  • @JayKayKay7
    We had an electrician get launched out of second story window when his drill motor bound up and rotated him up and away. We were building some apartments and the land sloped up at the back so he ended up unhurt flat on his back on the side of the hill. We all heard a yelp and walked to the back and there he was. After about a few seconds, the foreman yells out,"Whattya doing? Taking nap? Get back to work." Those things break your wrist in a heartbeat.
  • I’m an interior contractor in Ohio. I’ve traveled the states doing Sheetrock. I subbed several housing developments here in my area between Dayton/Cincinnati, when the housing industry was booming in the early 2000s. I now specialize in interior restoration. I turn new construction away. Water, fire, wind, whatever peril damages a structure. There’s a good number of restoration companies around. My guarantee is this. My customers may suffer sticker shock, but will never have buyers remorse!! A superintendent that’s worked for me for years says. “No one can do it better!!! We know we’re not the only ones that do this, there’s folks that can do as good! But not better! There’s just no such thing!! You guys at EC could say the same! Keep up the good work! The good work can be sold anywhere in the world!
