    My time has minimal instructions. Zero mention of the tabs. I NEVER would have figured it out without your video. Thank you!

    Thank you!!! This is a clear example we live in the greatest time. No one can afford to be an idiot when we have such a resource as RUclips and most of all people like you that make these kind of videos. In this case I was a knucklehead and thankfully was resourceful enough to look for aid. Carry on good sir!

      Love this, I created the video because these timers really don’t look easy to program. They look a lot more complicated than they actually are.

      😆"No one can afford to be an idiot" - I haven't heard that phrase before and it is cracking me up! There must be a way to buy currency paper nowadays and tons of people printing their own money at home then, because the stores and roads are chock FULL of idiots it seems 😉I guess I shouldn't be pointing fingers though, considering that I had to come to RUclips and watch this video to learn how to correctly program my outlet timer because I couldn't figure it out for the life of me despite trying at least a dozen times since I bought it less than 24 hours ago... 😅🤣

      Hahaha...I laughed so hard at this comment. I haven't bought the timer yet...because I'm one of those biggest knuckleheads...and being one of the biggest idiots in the planet....I was afraid I wouldn't be able to set it...I just couldn't afford to mess it up for my chicken coop!!!..lol🤣🤣

      Oh good, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one, I don't feel so alone LMAO 🤣 I definitely thought I was the only one that couldn't get it to work and was getting hemmed up about the time being split at 6 instead of 12 like in the other videos
      🤣

    • @dana102083
      @dana102083 Год назад

      ​@bdaly03 honestly I don't get why it would be split at 12 and 12... the sun goes down in the evening and depending where you live, earlier or later so makes sense to be sunrise around 6am and set at 6pm. But my basis is also I've never seen one with 12..where do you live? I'm in canada. Cheers

    Watched one timer video before this one. It was good also. I think close up video on the pins/ indicators with the person demonstrating their operation by pushing them up and down would be helpful. Just trying to locate them was a challenge. And I didn't get a picture of them in my mind when I heard the words pins nor indicators so I didn't know what I was looking for. Whatever a demonstrator opts to call them, I recommend a close up view of them AND the demonstrator showing a close up of their being moved. Nice video and presentation done.

I definitely appreciate the fact that you get down to the topic/task at hand right away without making us sit through 17 minutes of nonsense before getting down to business. To me, that truly shows that you make these videos out of your genuine desire to help others, not to make a video that is a certain length and number of views just so you can make money off of it.
