Hey Alex, please consider the strength of that plywood going forward. The pine boards were providing rigidity as the cargo was moving. As it is, anything heavy that comes unsecured could just punch a hole right through the plywood. Especially for the bottom, you're going to need to use either more solid boards or a metal sheet + more strut system. Source: Hull Tech for 4 years. Hope you have more time to plan in the future!

For future reference, those places always have the security company listed on the building. Usually there's a sticker on the door or window. You can just call them up and their dispatcher will send security officers to turn off the alarm and notify the owner/manager. My ex-husband was a security dispatcher for Per Mar.

I'm so emberassed to say it, but when I was younger, I was in a Walmart with my mom and sister and I pulled the fire alarm. Everyone left the building, thinking there was a fire, but my mom just kept shopping because every time I tried to lie to her I ended up crying, so I just told her the truth of what happened and she wanted to finish getting her groceries. So she was just...shopping and I was walking beside her...sobbing. So, yeah.

I imagine him recording the cinematic shots of the trailer just thinking to himself or saying out loud “why am I doing this?” “do they like the shot?” “do they even need to see this part of the trailer?”

I work opening a cafe, and the night team left the door unlocked once and a customer (bless her heart) came in fifteen minutes before we opened and scared the bejeezus out of me.

Hey, I work for an alarm monitoring company so I can provide some insight. Most cameras are for post hoc investigation, though some are live, or semi-live. Unless someone approved the police to be dispatched by Uhaul, it wouldn't have dispatched, so calling the police yourself was the best option, since you couldn't reach Uhaul itself.

@GoHerping

good to know! when they went off I assumed it's be like a house alarm where no disarm results in auto dispatch

You were so conscientious to call it in and wait. Probably a forgetful employee, but I instantly start thinking of crazy scenarios where a employee was trying to activate the panic button and armed the alarm instead. I always worry about the safety of solo workers.

That reminded me of Johnny Bravo calling the police on himself after looking at the mirror because "there is a handsome man in my house."

You know you could've just called the non emergency line for that

I’m glad the employee wasn’t like injured or unconscious of something and that’s why you didn’t see anyone.

Just incase anyone doesn’t know police have a non emergency number that’s super helpful for situations like this so you don’t take time from an emergency . Each one is different so you search your city and the non emergency number.

your parents must be so freaking proud of you. You just are unafraid to figure things out and try things. Way to go young man!

The rare incident report to specify the lack of a crime. It is somehow extra suspicious

Dude this was SO SATISFYING no wonder you refurbished the whole thing

I don’t know if this has been said before, but there is something so oddly calming and comforting about your videos. Your calm demeanor, calm way of speaking, and you just going about living your life doing what you do and documenting it is very comforting. I always enjoy watching your videos because I feel like it’s time to just be in a zen state lol.

You can just do a quick google of the local police dept and call their non-emergency line so it doesn't tie up the 911 dispatchers. Had to do it several times when I lived in bad area and had to report crap stolen, and for fender benders.

This brings back memories! I installed a hitch on my Tesla 3 last summer. Did all the wiring myself, too! Then I took my car into Tesla for repair of an unrelated item and they undid all the wiring since they thought it was in the way but didn't put it back! Grr! This may be obvious but don't forget that hauling stuff will suck your battery MUCH faster and the battery calculator on the car's computer doesn't take that into account. Be well charged up before any hauling. We coasted into one town on zero battery because of this the first time. Luckily made it to the supercharger!

I'm averaging about 400kwh vs my usual 275 or so, honestly not quite as bad as I anticipated. do you tend to find chargers with trailer pull throughs or have to disconnect the trailer every charge? the majority I find don't have them. Also my NoA is having issues connecting to the ultrasonic sensors so I guess I'll need to give service a heads-up on the wiring

For anyone who wonders 'geez how can this young person be so successful what is his secret?' I think the secret is pretty obvious in this video. You are willing to put in the hard work. Very inspiring to kick myself in my own lazy ass.
