While I think it is awesome that you’re running a provisional conduit for data, theoretically, when running data communication lines (esp. Ethernet) parallel to power, it should be run 12in apart from electrical. Of course, distance between fiber optic and electrical doesn’t matter.

Ever since I learned your trick with stranded wire from you, wiggling it around in terminals to allow the strands to settle, I've been applying it to all of my electrical work. This includes 12v car electrical and audio equipment. I can't really say I had a huge loose wire issue before, but ever since learning that method I haven't seen it at all. Thank you for spreading electrical knowledge in such a positive and meaningful way. I share the proper method for tightening down stranded wire with others whenever I can.

52:26 I think it would have been faster and more cost effective (and neater in appearance) to change the grounding lug in the can. If you don't currently carry a few of the larger size lugs in the truck, you should start. The cost of those lugs would be a lot cheaper than a Polaris (best thing ever BTW) plus the added labor.

THHN/THWN-2 is dual rated and sunlight resistance.

It’s split phase, instead of 2 phase. Since it’s just 2 ends of a single phase system, it makes no difference which line goes where. Same as the wiring inside the house. When making 240V connections to say a hot water tank or range, it doesn’t matter which color wire you connect to.

Not to scare the customer, but in all honesty they should know that if the wiring is not up to code and that causes the house to burn down? Their insurer can simply say goodbye and walk away. That's the customers' choice, but they should be aware of the risks of not meeting code.

05: 39 I LOVE those solar generators. Hope the price comes down considerably. At minimum, it would be ideal for every room, and better, at every outlet and all of them connected to solar panels to be independent of the grid and the greed of the electric company. How long would it run an AC compressor, its fan, and inside blower ? Maybe 3 ideally for that application... Does it have protection if there's a ground fault, short, or water hazard ? I don't like that the two top outlets and the 220 outlets are upside down, so that kind of messes with my OCD. I don't care about that app stuff. That's just more things to go wrong and another point to allow a hacker to penetrate your network and for someone to keep tabs on what you're running. Overall I do like the concept and if money wasn't the issue and it had protections from shocks, ground faults, overheating and the fire risks that are all too common with these batteries, I am otherwise sold. Been debating with myself if I should buy solar panels for my house or not. I know better than to lease them. I can't afford the electric bill I have so I am looking to eliminate it, not have another one, and then have those things on the essentials to start. Heating A.C. refrigerations, CPAP, computers modems and TIVO, then expand from there buying that instead of paying the greedy electric company as currently they're cooking me to death in 101 F degree heat Oy vey. Great video and thank you for posting. I do like those solar generators though. Usually if I can't get something with a manual screwdriver, so far, a reverse drill or DeWalt impact driver in reverse ALWAYS works.

55:29 I'd be VERY particular about my conduit. I'd INSIST on galvanized steel and made sure you knew it before the project started and if you absolutely could not, and would not, I'd come in after the fact and change it, then dispute that charge on the bill. When a customer is paying, especially these MILLIONS you spoke of, they should get solid GOLD connections and top shelve premium, stuff. Not plastic and nylon garbage.

34:08 Also, one would think that in these days, since everyone knows better, they would stop constructing houses with combustible materials. But no, they like to regulate the hell out of affordability for everything else, but when it comes to codes to keep one from losing their house, they're willfully, insufferably and blissfully ignorant to that fact.

Great Video! At 37.49 the length of the neutral wire coming off the HomeLine Surge protector should be a SHORT and DIRECT as possible, according to the manufacturer. Direct quote from installation guide, "NOTE: The SPD requires two adjacent mounting spaces and must be installed as close to neutral assembly and main circuit breaker or main lugs as possible. Keep wire lengths as short as possible with no sharp bends."

Always hate these instructions. I know it may be a space constraint issue but I guess, the manufacturers, never had to re-run a whole ONE cable bc it was cut TOO SHORT and when needing service, no service loop left for a new termination.
