    I FINALLY got my opportunity to start as an electrician apprentice.. doing so much amazing shit.. working on an 18,000 SQ. Foot house here in Vegas! I love it.. was inspired by YOU .. you made me fall in love with this and it's changed my life, so thank you, Dustin. I will be forever in your debt. Joining the channel now.

      Amen! When I was 4 years old I liked to watch electricians and wanted to grow up to be one. After a long and varied career I ended up being a computational linguist and avid electronics hobbyist (author of dozens of magazine articles) but I still leave the house wiring to people with licenses -- and enjoy watching them do it!

    I am not an electrician (unfortunately) but I love watching your videos. Job descriptions coupled with code is absolutely excellent. You are teaching code by working the jobs with us, your viewers. I remember taking my low voltage qualifier class/test, and if I hadn't worked in the space for years prior, and if I didn't play with electronics design/assembly/soldering for fun, I wouldn't understand and especially remember 70% of material. Working through the actual jobs with you kicks ass. Thanks dude.

    You're 100% right about trusting your customer and what they're experiencing. It can be very frustrating doing diagnostics when you can't find any faults. I do HVAC and had a customer with heater that was failing to work intermittently. I've done two house calls already and cannot replicate the problem. I'm not calling her a liar and I'm not comfortable spending her money without a clear reason. Guessing can get expensive.

    I worked at minutelube where all the concrete was covered in oil. A roofer did not take that into account when putting up a 20 foot extension ladder. He just barely grabbed the gutter and scrambled onto the roof as the feet of that ladder slid away from him.
    Be careful of the feet of your ladder. Make sure they are on stable surface. Even grass can be slick enough to slide on.

    Bro, the moment you said you put an extension ladder on a rug I gasped. I've been cleaning windows for over 10 years and the guy that got me into it all those years ago did that exact thing except he was using a sectional ladder. I heard a noise and turn around in time to see him slide down the wall until the sections of the ladder came apart and he hits the ground, it happened really fast. His ankle got caught in one of the rungs and got messed up pretty bad. Your very lucky that move didn't end in a similar fashion. Glad your ok dude. Stay safe.

    Extension ladder on a rug... I just did that a few months ago at my own house... slid straight down for 10 feet... happens very very very fast, before I knew what happened I was on the ground.

    I brought the M18 FUEL deep cut band saw with the dual batteries and charger, the box it comes with is huge, how do you lug it around and keep it on your truck, any recommended bags?? Although your tiny service truck… it wouldn’t even fit lol do you only use the tool for larger jobs??

    So on the school job how did you get the ground wire through the ridge conduit? The only way I know how to is to tie a new feeder to one of the existing feeders + a ground wire soap the heck out of it and pull. Is there a better way?

    I do pretty much the exact same thing as far as trip charge goes except generally a service charge for the first hour for closer calls pretty much 2 hour minimum.

    Really enjoy the service calls. Everyone different.
