Helps me!! Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I’m glad it helped!

You must have been a narrowback before becoming a lineman, because no lineman can derive a switch from an outlet like you did. Great videos! I love the little line trade Easter eggs around the shop. The FR, the stay out sign, your rigging the heater as if it where a single phase pot.... I got you brother...Once again! great videos, I'm just getting into the woodworking craft myself.

Thanks for the kind words man! My actual line of work is an electrical mechanic, I build and maintain substations, and do all the electrical in our dams and other generation facilities. So I have a little knowledge in a lot of different areas one day I can be running control circuits, the next day I will be taking a 230kv auto transformer out of service to change the bushings out.... thanks for watching, and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@@brewbuilds yep me as well! I am currently reconfiguring a 69 to 12 substation and adding a 41 MVA transformer out here in AZ. I love line work but I just cant climb any more, (Bad knees and back). I work out here for an utility in substation construction. Love it, I have lots fun. Currently working on making my 3 car garage into a shop because of your videos and learning from you. I guess you can say I am an apprentice once again. Thank you brother...

@@scientegichumansystems1835 that's awesome! (well not the part about the bad knees, and back) i got into the trade after going to line school in 09' in Washington state in my hometown, and actually signed the books and interviewed in Arizona, but i took the first opportunity as a grunt in my current department with the utility i got in my hometown and stuck with it. all these trades have an endless amount of knowledge to learn that's why i like them. don't ever hesitate to reach-out to me at [e-mail] if you have ang questions or just want to b.s, and thanks for all the positive feedback.

i just used a drywall lift, strapped it on and hoisted it up. easy peasy

[@brewbuilds]

My buddy did the same thing. 👍🏻use what you have.

[@TheLawngestYard]

Nice beard cam! And that’s so smart to use snow as ceiling insulation.... Nice video. I want a heater in my garage so bad! Not that big though.

[@brewbuilds]

Thanks dude, sure didn’t taste like snow😂. Oh come on get a big one!

[@TheLawngestYard]

@@brewbuilds yeah I bet. Insulation sucks. You’ll have to update on how much it costs to run that thing.

[@brewbuilds]

@@TheLawngestYard will do buddy!

[@designsinorbit]

What did you use on your ceiling to lift that out of your truck? Like a huge eyebolt into a stud?

[@brewbuilds]

Yeah pretty much, if you watch at about the 3:03min mark when I’m up in the attic you’ll see the 2x4 with the eye bolt in it laying across the frame of the hanger I installed. Then I attached a pulley to it for my winch rope to roll through.

[@bigsexy104]

Why electrical tape the outlet in a plastic box.

[@brewbuilds]

It’s mostly just habit for me, I do it at work so I do it at home too. There are a lot of times when I come back to trouble shoot or add on, and I’ll do it hot so it just gives me a little wiggle room when opening it back up. But really it isn’t necessary.

[@colewomack4688]

Yes pleas install a dedicated circuit breaker and a ssu so if something breaks and theres a short everything will break

[@brewbuilds]

In my opinion installing a separate cb for this small of a load is a waste of panel space…
