    Been watching alot of your video's. Started looking up how to read blueprints just to possibly gain some general knowledge and came across one of your videos. Since ive watched 4 or so. Keep it up bud, your doing a great job, putting lots of good knowledge out there.
    I actually live in Putnam county but ive been working in jax since i was a small kid. My dad used to own a construction company when i was young so I've been learning from a young age much like you. Im about to start a new job tho, within a week or so as a superintendent assistant. The job was offered by a good friend that lives in Pennsylvania and plans to travel to Florida soon to start the job. Ill be starting it with him. My back ground is between stucco and masonry to electrical, low voltage and mechanical. My friend has alot of faith in me, and granted i have faith that the good Lord gave me gifts but im not too sure of my knowledge and how in depth my knowledge has to be to do this job.
    So not trying to be too long with this "comment" but my question to you Jesse is do you have any advice to share with me going into this field? Ive been doing electrical for right at 5 years now but im 33 and ive done construction for all the past 17 years and i honestly dont know what to think about the job. Im very excited but very intimidated aswell. Anything would be appreciated.
    And most importantly i didnt really elaborate as much as i wanted to but i read were someone commented in a previous video somewhere saying that you were "truly inspiring" and thats a great description bud. You really do have a great upbeat attitude and the correct knowledge and you enjoy sharing that knowledge. Thats pretty much why ive started watching your videos. Not to mention its faith based.
    So anyways, great job, keep up the great work.
