I'm sure your dad is proud you bring so many skills to the job. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, coming from a 40 years of being an (CT) electrician. Nice to see the "Younger" guys gettin into the trade. Keep up the good work brother!

Great video Jessie, you have lots of useful knowledge and skills! Those drone shots are just incredible too! Thanks, DC

Loving the electrical work, hope to see more!! I like how you go through each step. It’s very interesting and I learned a lot

Looking at the sawmill in the background makes me homesick. I had a lot of spruce on the backside of my property and when clearing ground stacked it and other types of trees so to be used in the future. I saved thousands of dollars on forms as I used trees from the property and made my own forms as the bakelite forms are expensive. I made all my foundation forms and some sheds that had poured walls;; I had everything out of pocket and to start out with house and property paid for was a large step into the future of my business as a mechanic. I put in my own shop and it was big enough to have three lifts and room to park a few disabled rigs needing repair and my service truck. Took me a long time to unpack my "suitcase" or service truck as I worked out of it long enough to buy my place. Three years after I was permanent and truck was gone, a forest fire put me homeless again... a sick feeling

Your Dad sure picked a beautiful piece of land! WOW.....just spectacular! Any time I can see a master craftsman at work is a good thing. 👍👊👏😍

Thanks Jesse, I really enjoyed your video with all the steps involved with setting-up your dad's electrical power system, I can't wait for more!

Jessie, I feel educated. Learned a lot from the video. You're a good and patient instructor.

Thanks for a well done video and through explanation, enjoy watching you and Andrew

Thank you Jesse, I enjoy all your videos - keep them coming.

I enjoyed watching you carry out electrical work on this video , most entertaining .

Good Day, I came across your channel and absolutely love your videos. Great job explaining everything.

Great video and you did a nice job on showing how it was all done. I am no electrician but like you said some places don’t require any paperwork. As a welder I have had to hook up 440 welding banks and also done some wiring on my house. But I have never put in new service. To a house, the 360 rule on the conduit is something I didn’t know about. Again very nice 👍 job.

Very well done, Jesse. That was very informative and your explanations were right on the money. Plus those drone shots were spectacular. Look forward to more electric work videos.

Nice Job Jesse! That was very interesting to see how the electical Power is Wired in the US. I´m Electitian too, but in Germany. Here we put in every House/ Appartment 3 Live Wires and PE/N. Usually we have 230V between L and PE/N and 400V between L1 and L2 for Example. AC at 50Hz In my House, the Mainfuses are 3x 63Amp (for the 3 Live Wires), also a 3x 60Amp Meter. Then it goes to a Subpanel in my Appartment and another Subpanel to my Garage. The normal electric Plug for Vacs, Fridge or TV is fused with 16 Amp, 230 V AC. Then there are Power Plugs for Machines like Concrete Mixer, Wood Splitter, Lathe or Cranes. These Powerplugs have Conection to all 3 Live Wire. The smallest has 3x 16Amp (11kW), then the next bigger has 3x 32 Amp (22kW) , 3x 63 Amp (43kW) and 3x 125Amp (86kW).

I'm Electitian in Russia, now we do the same. 230-240/380-400 But here i don't understand the scheme here. The transformer output must be L1-L2-N, where 220 between L1-L2 and 127 between L-N. Here i see it. But for working like this it must have L1-L2-N 7kV at input. And i see only one phase cabel with grounded braid. I dont understand how we can get two phases at the output.

Just an awesome video. I love/look forward towards any video of yours, so completely understood while tongue in cheek entertaining. As a retired journeyman electrician from Walt disney world(2000-2017), and prior to that, 29 yrs as an all around maintenance(commercial & residential) mechanic(Paccar),truck-semi driver(interstate/intrastate)-tour bus driver(entertainment-electrical engineering[live & recording sound]), etc., had to keep busy when "off tour" in Seattle, until the mouse made me an offer I couldn't refuse LOL.....imagine my delight when email announces "Jesse Muller has posted a new video." oh boy howdy, I'm all in!

Great video. Love watching the electrical work so including it in future videos would be awesome.

Beautiful job Jesse, nice and neat. Your explanations are easy to understand to us "non-electricians" and I appreciate that. Great job buddy.

Definitely more electrical stuff! - I do love the "I can do anything" kind of videos too.

Best video I have found on doing one of these combo boxes which is what I am using on my new icf house. Thank you for doing it.

cool vid, its so helpful to see actual professionals doing actual jobs. I learned a lot. I'd enjoy more electrician related content! :)

It is nice when the primary is a higher voltage, I am at the end of a run just about and it is stepped down we used to have so many issues when we ran the big pump motors. Now it is just residential on the run and it stays nice usually 122-124 VAC. When the neighbor turns on their pump you can still tell sometimes the drop and brown out is sad. I did electrical for equipment rooms and res panels and I just followed what that inspector wanted. I kept a card with notes for each inspector in the area because they did not agree on things. Just easier to give them what they wanted. Nice video.

Wow! The things at which this guy excels is totally mind boggling!

Great video. Thanks for sharing and I'd like to see more. I'll be doing this on a lot, we are buying in Greene County.

Hi Jesse, thank you for the new video, it was really educational as well as entertaining. I was astonished to see that you used aluminium cables from the transformer pad to the meter/breaker panel. Before I have never seen aluminium cables used for house electrification. Here in Germany copper cables are used 99% of the time. The 360° scene around 33:30 had me laughing since I was reminded of Guido from the Cars movies.

Jesse my friend, If you Have never moved big boulders like that before is pretty hard to imagine how heavy they are, but the way we do It is we go get an old car hood, the older the car the better, and will slide the boulder up on the car hood and use that as rock Skid. They are a whole lot easier to move around that way. If you can't find a car hood you can actually use about anything you just want it to turn up on the leading edge.
