Nice work, Ben! Regarding the owner's attempt to do it - I'd give him a credit for trying. I actually like this attitude: try yourself first, if you succeeded - great, otherwise call a contractor. This is pretty much the only way to learn new skills. Unlike every youtuber says "if you don't feel comfortable, leave it to pros" - wrong! You will never feel comfortable with something you do the first time.

I like it when somebody tries to do something themselves even if it doesn't work out. They tried. And perhaps will try again learning from mistakes.

@@Raysnature Well, I suppose that sloppy drywall or plumbing is one thing, mistakes in electrical work another. At least mistakes there are likely not lethal. I have a background in electronics and robotics machine control and machine safety and am quite aware of the U.S. code NEC70 (now called NFPA70) and especially NFPA79 which addresses machine safety. As well as the CE directives for machines. And know that the U.S. also has specific codes for swimming pools and such. So if I were going to wire up a hot tub, I know to review the code for that sort of thing. So I'm not sure how comfortable I would be with average (which means some are below average) DIYers doing electrical work. It might depend on what they are doing. Adding an outlet or putting more lights in a garage can be pretty modest. Safely and correctly rigging up a standby generator switchover or wiring a hot tub might not be the best idea for the amateur. And professionals are like in any segment. Half are below average. And some of them had to have been at the bottom of their class (or apprenticeship).

@Scott, great! Keep at it. I'm not THAT good yet🤪!

My guy! I don't know you, but you seem like such a chill person! I did my own drywall in my home office, and it is a mess in some places, but you made me feel better about my job just from how you came in to a messy job and cleaned it up without any judgement. Good on you!

Instant thumbs up. As a diyer I HATE DRYWALL, but I still find myself doing it. Its nice to see a professional come in and fix these seemingly common mistakes.

holy crap! That's gonna take a whole lot of scraping and sanding. That makes me feel better about my iffy drywall butt joints. lol.

"looks good from my house"... Love it! ... I'd like to see a video where you're in a bad mood, I just can't imagine it.

That's not really Ben"s philosophy. He knows the results will speak for themselves. His call-backs are few and far between, I'm sure.

@@johndeaux9987 It seems so out of character for him to say that. He's so conscientious of the quality of his work.
