    Really liking the longer videos. Josh does a great job of explaining what he's doing and especially WHY he's doing it. It's great for us solar newbs to learn - he would probably be a good teacher. Good camera work too Erin - y'all are such a high quality team working together.

    This is the kind of stuff that should be taught in regular schools growing up so kids know more than the basic reading , writing etc. This kind of knowledge is priceless as can be seen by this couple who work amazing together! Such a great family unit too! I love the vids I have seen so far !

    I'm a retired engineer (electrical) that has spent a lot of time working on industrial systems. It is a joy watching you work, you are obviously a skilled electrician that knows what you are doing. I just started watching your channel, so I'm viewing things out of order, but I'll eventually watch it all, I'm sure. I can't wait, keep up the good work.

    Josh, I have to give you credit. You did a better job covering and explaining what you were doing, and why, than anything I've ever seen on "This Old House", "Hometime", etc. And your lovely lady-wife did just as good a job in getting it on camera. Kudos to both of you! Also, give your queen (cat) a good scruffle from me. I just lost my old black & white girl, who loved to climb my ladders, whenever I put one up. I miss her "help"! Thanks for a great channel.
