    I ain’t have no dad so these videos teach me so much and I respect this man for making them 🙏
  • Straight and to the point!! No nonsense, informative , easy to follow. Thank you.
  • @calebroskamp9937
    Appreciate the videos. One note, remove black, white, green. Replace green, white, black. The black carries current. Without it, unless your circuitry involves a multi wire branch circuit, there is no current. The neutral completes the current. You don’t want to get caught in the current, so you want to close that option by connecting the whites first before connecting the current with the blacks.

    Great visual instruction and step by step. Great job!! Been doing electrical for over 10 years and people don’t realize how easy most DIY is around the home. I tell everyone that I do work for that if you’re going to do your own work I HIGHLY recommend a Non-Contact Voltage Tester so you can always double and triple check that there is no electricity in your wires after you shut the breaker off. One issue is you also called your neutral wires your ground wires.

    Thanks internet Dad! I too really appreciate these videos so much. My Dad died when I was 16 so there was so much about adulting that I didn't have time to learn. Never wait to learn anything from your parents!

    I’m following you on every platform. This man is paying for his daughters brain treatments through social media. I would like if everyone would do the same.

    My dad passed two weeks after my 18th birthday, these videos remind me a lot of him, thank you

    Before working on any electrical device ALWAYS use a multimeter to check that it is not energized. Safety first. Never assume that it is de-energized just because you opened the breaker or pulled the fuse.

    This man is doing a good job some people never learned basic things like this👍🏼👍🏼
  • @fletcher1995
    The order should be while connecting Connect ground(green) Connect neutral (white) Connect hot (black) And reverse for disconnect. That's what the union teaches

    Thank you so much for this! Watched longer videos which confused me. Watched this one and was able to replace my light just watching this video. Thanks dad!
  • @the_mirabela
    Why did I not choose to learn how to do electrical work! Seems so handy now that I’m 25! Thanks for the tips, Pops !
  • Now an almost seemingly impossible task seems totally possible thank you good sir.
  • @jstone1211
    when splicing stranded wire (the light fixture wires) with solid copper wires (the wires in the socket) it is best to strip more insulation from the fixture wires so you can get a good tight connection with the solid wires. I like to use connectors from WAGO or similar

    Thanks Dad. I really appreciate this entire channel. I’m remodeling my bedroom and stumbled upon this video.
