      A lifesaver for me thank you very much. I'm on day 10 of a 10-day notice to clean up this grown large lot. I rented a Makita machine as the coil is going down in my shindaiwa. The rental shop is closed for the weekend. Young man who handed me the trimmer gave me some line and said a lot of people don't respool something like that. Thought I knew how to do that but I did not know this is a new animal. Also I was not able to use my phone to watch a video or any information on the internet as my charge port line failed. So you are the savior of the day. Thank you very much. I'm sole caregiver for my wife who had a major stroke it 44 I used to be a TV news reporter but she had that stroke in 2007 I quit work and now 24-7 full-time caregiver for my wife. My expertise is short-format video.. with that in mind, if I may make a suggestion that will Garner you many more viewers than what you'll have currently which will be a lot. My advice is break this video into two subjects not part 1 and part 2 it's going to be a different name for each video. Google likes short quick crisp video. The end viewer wants something that's quick to the point. and explained well by someone who knows what they're doing. That is you. I'm not saying talk faster I'm just saying look at your video and ask what you can leave off what's not important to this particular story. If you have something this important make a new video. call it something different but yes I think you did an excellent job on this video thank you so much for your work, very good, fine work.
