Dan we use stainless steel , but mostly in businesses building, like schools, libraries, office buildings etc.... well done Dan. Your home will stand for many years now! For your children and grandchildren!!
Im surprised, what country is this in? In the US its pretty much always Copper or Aluminum.
It the usa we use aluminum conduit to cover wires. Copper is for plumbing. We do use plastic boxes for the outlets in residential and aluminum in businesses or commercial.
In the US we use steel conduit with zinc plating to prevent rust, and it’s either rigid pipe, or flexible spiral metal tubing that looks similar to Dan’s. As sheric said, it’s mostly just in business/commercial buildings. Never stainless steel or copper. Almost never aluminum, although some outdoor boxes are made of aluminum.
@@kc9scott also flexible plastic sealtight for short conduits, like those used for AC units, i've never seen it on longer runs probably because code don't allow that
I wired my He-shed using Smurf tube, really like how it turned out.
Dan, it is so good to see you! Please, never apologize and no need to be nervous. We love you and enjoy you. You're family is part of all our families. The house is looking good.
there may be no need to be neverous, but if you like me, its just a reality
Agreed My big brother from across the the big drink ....glad your project is coming along well ...hope you and the family are as always blessed...in my prayers as always my friend....I was as a younger fellow a ...we were called " Stick Framers!“ if we were using or building with wood .... Yes I would have to say most new houses unless you know you're financially independent for secure we will say res wood-framed on the inside the skeleton though though on commercial jobs or interior walls that do not have weight for a load on them aren't load-bearing walls will be steel studs for metal studs are usually galvanized metal look similar to what it looks like you have their on some of your interior walls maybe your wire actually looks like pretty good quality from the looks we would call that Romex or 12-2 probably I like the color of yours I'm jealous a lot of our most houses are the skeletons if you will or wood two-by-fours framed I would have to save it probably 70% of the exterior of the house is for cost vinyl siding... Oh boy I could write a book but I love the videos I give you big-time respect for sharing so much and love blessings to you and your family I couldn't imagine trying to do videos like you do in a language that is not my own native tongue you do a great job respect Big brother
I get nervous talking in front of a crowd. But never be nervous about your English! Your English is better than some here in the USA.
I am a retired electrical contractor. We used flat cables like you do when it is 3 conductor. If four conductor then it is round most of the time. They make flat 4 conductor and I preferred it. I always wanted to know how it was done over there. Thanks for the video.
Dan is a man of many talents.
I'm repeating myself but Dan you are such a humble, genuine & wonderful man 💙💙💙
It is so good to see that "simple" people in all countries relate so well to each other - even when international politics, "Special Operations", wars, trade wars etc. interfere with peaceful cooperation. Keep on making these videos to remind us all that there should be no animosity between nations in this current age.
@paul - Agreed!
99% of us are “simple” people regardless of nationality.
@@Sniperboy5551 I agree. Dan referred to himself as a "simple" Russian - which I interpret as "an ordinary citizen with no real political influence or power".
Dan we understand toilet paper.. our stuff is so high can't live. Take of your darling family❤❤❤❤
Agreed ❤
Houses in hurricane 🌀 areas are built with cinder (cement) blocks ie Florida. Most houses in the USA are built with wood, any brick is just for looks, it’s not structural. Wiring is usually 14-2 with ground or 12-2 with ground for higher amps application, microwave and fridge. ❤️🎥
Dan Your English is doing great even with your breaks.❤
Dan don't be nervous, you are a good man and you are doing very well, try keep up the videos people enjoy watching because they can see your honesty and willingness to learn and how you invite everyone into you're life's, all the best from Ireland.
Your family are the adorable ones.
Dan , You are smart to learn the safest way to do work ! Glad you protect your family . Tell Susie and Sari hello ❣️
Here in the usa each state has there own electrical codes. Keep up the great work your home looks great!
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the U.S. standard for the safe installation of electrical systems. The NEC is published by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and is updated every three years.
They follow NEC, but may make more strict rules.
Yes that is true. Most if not all USA states adopt the National electrical code (NEC) which is part National Fire Code. The states sometimes adopt rules that are more strict than the NEC. Canada's codes are quite similar to ours. I like the Russian way of just making recommendations and no inspections. Still the codes are the minimum for work, quality work can always exceed the code.
Nice to see you again Dan we have missed your videos. Love to the family
Please do not apologize for anything! You are a blessing to us all dear sir!
Dan, I've remodeled a house before. I had to learn so much. I love watching you work on your house. I loved your electrical panel video as well but I admit it's much easier to do it in a new house, than to run new wiring in an old house.... pls make more videos showing us your skills !!!
Hello from pilot mountain , North Carolina! Always enjoy your videos
Where I grew up in Connecticut, our house was made of wood. When I moved to South Florida, all of the houses are made of concrete because concrete holds up better in hurricanes and termites do not eat concrete. There are some pretty cheap concrete houses down here!😊
Your English is excellent!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
US - 240/120V single phase in houses - Industrial - 480/277V 3phase in most industrial - but can use 600V or 577V depending on what type of equipment or where they are getting that equipment.
House wiring Romex - same as what you have just different color individual wire insulation; Most of the time THHN. Black/red/blue for hot (120V) White for neutral or Grounded conductor; Green for ground or Grounding conductor.
Rules for Electrical are guided by NEC - National electric code - It is updated ever 4 years.
You must get a permit for anytime of addition of electrical items or additions onto a house. Once permit is got you much do inspections from local government building inspections office. Types of inspections - underground/overhead/wall/TCO/final.
There are also local codes that are often stricter than NEC or CEC. For example, Chicago forbids Romex (non metallic cable) in homes. Only metal conduit and short runs of flexible armored cable are allowed. It's for the exact same reason that Russia recommends metallic conduit, fire safety. Non metallic conduit is quite common in Europe. In N. America, ground is usually bare, non insulated, except in appliance cords, where it's green or green with a yellow trace.
Please pardon the nitpick (I teach code classes, so nitpicky "attention to detail" is my bread and butter) - the NEC is updated on a 3 year cycle, not 4 year - and grounds can also be bare copper, or green with yellow, but otherwise, pretty much spot on.
Over preaching it. I don't ext code watching this video.
You skipped over 208/120 which I'd put under the category of "light commercial" but also important because many people call their apartments home and I usually see 208/120 in apartments so much so that when I tested two seperate outlets in an apartment and got 208 not 240 I was shocked (no pun intended) at first.
You are doing a great job! It is not an easy task doing all that by yourself. Hug Suzie and Sati for us!
Thank you so much Danlel for sharing about the differences in electrrical wiring in the USA and in Russia! I love the non-political! I'm so glad nice Americans have sent you such helpful tools. Much goodness and grace to your wonderful family everywhere.
Canada and the United States have interchangeable electrical outlets, therefore similar wiring. But if l was to visit the EU and brought my hairdryer or curling iron for example, these products could not be plugged into European outlets. Great to hear from you Dan, it's been a while. All the best to you and your family.
The main issue with equipment from Canada and the US compared to the rest of the world if the voltage ratings, rather than the outlet type.
You can get an adaptor for most countries. However if you're plugging something from a 110v country in to a power system that provides 240v you'll either over heat, or blow up something.
@@anthonypetniunas354 if i remember the 240 in EU is single hot wire circuit with common just like the 110 in US, so i guess the plug adapters have some adaptation for it, the 240 in US is 2 hot wires completing the circuit, it's never normally used for handheld devices
@@tallll70 It's not 110, it's 120. I don't know why people still call it 110, that was pre- World War 1 days, and a holdover from when the system was direct current. Voltage standards in both USA and Canada are 120/240 volts for single phase split phase power, 120/208 for WYE 3 phase system, 277/480, and especially in Canada in recent decades has been moving towards 347/600 for 3 phase small industrial buildings. 480 seems to be fading away, at least in British Columbia/BC Hydro. In Europe for single phase 50 Hz the standard is 240 volts also (UK used to be 250, and Germany used to be 230, but countries in the EU are trying to harmonize voltages to allow appliances made in one country to work properly like from France to the UK for example. In the netherlands as far as I know, the defacto standard is still 230/415v for smaller 3 phase installations.
@@brnmcc01 i guess it's because it use to be 110, before i was born lol, but not anymore you right
Most important thing is the frequency difference between USA and Europe. 60hz vs 50hz in Europe. Motors will not operate correctly!
the problem with our permit system is it is corrupt and expensive. Contractors also overcharge for simple jobs.
yes..finding that out myself right now as I was getting bids for new build homes on my own land... found out they charge the same price for covered porches & empty garage per square foot as the finished livable space...thats literally insane. Since when did it cost $500k to build a 2000sqft home (in texas nonetheless) and that price is if you have your own land!
Just like the medical system
Regulations are also written in blood. Some of them are there for good reason.
@@ayah922 yeah, like you have to have a license to cut some ones toe nails, it's all a scam.
@@gumby2241This is no lie. You need a permit for everything!
Sheekoz brother love you and your family ❤🏴🇧🇩🇷🇺🙏🍺and love your work 😊
I am poor person in USA. Prices have gotten so high on everything. It's good you can do this work yourself. Makes it easier to improve your home. Electricians charge $$$$. Keep up the great work on your home. Looks like upstairs bedrooms.
There is a good reason why one should never do their own wiring of a house, if done incorrectly a fire could result, it is hard work being an electrician and they charge accordingly for that.
@terrylynn9984 Dan looks live he knows what he's doing. It's a nice you are concerned about his well-being.
Hi Dan! the type of house construction also depends on where you live. for example, Down in the south of USA in Florida, most houses are made of Concrete Blocks because it has to be built to Hurricane Code.
Great video Dan. You are doing a phenomenal job on your house.
You are a man of many talents Dan job well done 😊....much love to you and Suzie and Sati .......☮️❤️🕯️
Your English is quite good. Your kindness and humility speak for itself. Your goodness, kindness, and decency is a language that can be understood by people from all over the world. Love to you and your beautiful family.
Good work Dan! It is nice to be able to build certain things yourself, especially as important as the electrical. You will always have the peace of mind that it is done correctly for you, Suzy and Sati’s safety.
Thank you Dan for sharing your expertise and your lovely work. Your home is going to be lovely when it’s finished 😊
Dan you are such a great guy and making good choices for the protection of your family with using the steel pipe to house the electrical wires. You are a wise man 😀 looking forward to seeing your completed work 😀 👍
Excellent Dan!! I know nothing about electric and you explain so well!!!🎉
Again...so great to know your family is OK as your region grows more and more dangerous from our perspective.
that's not perspective. it's factual. asia.the middle east. Europe and Africa. it's popping off all over the world right now. we are next in the usa
My husband is a retired electrician. At home or at work he is very particular about all of our electric. He didn’t do our solar panels, but was very pleased with their work. He was an electrical inspector. 💙
Dan Susie and Sati,it is amazing how your English has improved, wishing the best for your family.
LOL...wives are alike all around the world. While wives appreciate their husband's hard work in doing what needs to be done by themselves, they still don't like the noise and the mess the husband makes, plus the time not spent with them. But they do love the finished project.
Prices have really gone up here, too, everywhere. We have inflation, being called greedflation because companies are making record profits because they are all overcharging for everything.
Lovely to see you Dan, I hope you are well and your beautiful family , sending love and blessings to you all♥♥♥♥
Hey Dan. Nice seeing you again. Hope all is well and healthy with all you. Still enjoy watching and listening to your channel.. God Bless My Friends.🙏🙏🙏🇩🇪🇺🇸
Great job Dan, keep up the good work!
I am happy to see you are doing well! We pray for your protection and for safety. God bless you and your family!
Brother, I think we have wood stick frame here mostly because of earthquake fault lines. Brick crumbles, while wood bends. We got the material increases as well about 2 years ago
Dan,you are correct,we were middle class,but as time goes by it is getting harder to make it to the end of the month with any thing left over ! We are still better off than most ,we are grateful to God for that.
I think your English is coming along great. The fact that you are trying to use good products in the building of your house is for the safety for your family. I live in Canada and each tradesman has to have their work inspected to make sure the building standards are met and no shortcuts were taken. I’m sure in some cases inspectors turn a blind eye for a cash payment or gift to the inspector depending on the location and trade. I think the past few years of living with the Covid 19 pandemic has put prices through the roof pretty much everywhere, you’re not alone. I think that you’re doing a wonderful job building your house and you and your family will be very happy with the finished product for many years. 👍👍🇨🇦
I have never heard of an inspector just looking the other way for cash payment, if an issue arises they overlooked then they lost their job. Seriously where have you heard of this in Canada?
@@terrylynn9984, it may not be so prevalent today but in sub divisions where numerous houses were being built the inspectors would check some but not all of the houses. A quick visual on some and more in depth on others. No way did I mean every inspector looks the other way but it did happen. Maybe you’ve never seen it or heard of it but I have. I had a good friend who was a licensed electrician and he told me stories. I’m almost 80 so I’m going back quite a few years ago.
Hi Dan. This video was very interesting to hear the differences in our housing. The prices here in the U.S. are the same as you say they are in Russia. I make what should be a middle class wage but I have trouble buying the food for my family that I would want. We have been eating cheaper and cheaper. What I will say is good is that, as a single woman, I support my mother, daughter, and granddaughter. My daughter pays her bills, but she cannot afford to rent her own home, so she lives with me.
he's that group of people in Russia who live in lala land. He builds himself a house like it is nothing.
@@iiii-nn1dthow is that lala land? I know people who have built their own homes as well here in Bama and they are not wealthy or crazy
Central Canada has become extremely expensive especially for young people. Cost of home purchase has gone very high. Over 500,000 immigrants allowed in plus foreign students each year. An extreme shortage of housing. A social disaster in the making.
@@janetyeoman1544 more like reality.
Hey Dan good to see you are well. Stay safe and may God bless and protect you and your family.
Wow, even EMF protection. Smart man, I’ve never seen anyone add that (except maybe some millionaires building bunkers). I’d like something like that but my house is already built.
Forgot: It's to be installed on the breaker box by an electrician,
Glad to see you here again. I love to watch your videos. Love to you and your family. 😊❤
Excellent English Dan.
Only the permit part of it . I think most homes in USA do not use these pipes, mostly businesses use the pipes. I remodel homes and deal with this daily . U are doing a great job
Hello Dan, Suzie, Sati, and Alexa cat!😁😺💖👍❤
We love you!
That electrical wire stripper tool is VERY expensive...
That was very kind of the person who sent that to you..
It's always a pleasure to see how much you appreciate what others do....
You are a good & humble man...
I enjoyed this video today...learning how things are done in other countries...
I look forward to the next video...
10.00 at walmart...not that expensive but yes it comes in handy.
Dan you are a humble man, anything but simple, keep up the great videos.
It is difficult living in a house that is being renovated. You are doing an amazing job and I can see how careful you are in your work to make sure your family is well protected. I hope you are able to get the rooms completed by the deadline! Be well.
Stainless steel conduit (pipe) is a great safety product. It looks like your house will be very comfortable in any weather. Your construction quality appears to be at a high level, not just the electrical.
.
Dan, You are expressing yourself in English better than millions of USA citizens.
Hey Dan and family! Always thinking of you and praying for your safety. Please keep posting often.
Wow you are building a house that’s amazing ❤
Houses in hurricane areas like Florida are all concrete block with concrete caps and roof tie down straps so the roof won't be blown off. Concrete block construction is not expensive. Bricks in the US are used as a siding not as construction. Brick siding does add an increased amount to the construction.
I live in hurricane-prone Houston and most houses are not built on cinder block frames. Where it floods habitually, they’re starting to require stem wall foundations vs pier and beam.
Not all houses in Florida are concrete block. Mine is wood frame on a concrete foundation with stucco covering the outside alls. I do have hurricane straps for the roof.
And many houses are made of brick especially ones built in the 50's - 70's
@@dougs7367- But even homes built back then, and even before that were not built of solid brick or other masonry - the brick and/or stone, etc., - the brick/masonry construction was a wrap or an outside wall of "cosmetic" brick only. It was not the entire wall through and through.
My mother and stepfather had more than one home built beginning in 1964 and after, into the 80s, and no homes we saw, built or lived in were solid brick construction. We frequently visited every build site we ever had while it was being built, even wrote messages to the builders on the drywall mostly in the garages, writing with small pieces of drywall, and found artists and comedians in the crews working on our houses! The brick was always about the last phase of the exterior construction, unless there was also part siding above the brick, or on specific panels of the home. Every one of them were first constructed of all 🪵 wood frames, on top of some kind of concrete pad or block wall foundation with a poured concrete pad for the crawlspace under the floor joists. We never had a basement, because in my area of the country, the southeast coast of Virginia, truly right on the Chesapeake Bay, (look up "Peninsula, Virginia" to see what I mean) basements were not possible. Water tables are too high, and the frequent🌀hurricanes this area of the country also gets, (i.e., see H. Irene) would just fill them up to the home above, making them just useless, and bigger dollar pits. Tornados are much less frequent, than say in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, etc., and in those areas basements can be life savers, being in Tornado Alley. Also, they tend not to fill up with rainwater as often, and much more useful in the meantime!
My husband's grandparents had a farm in northwestern Indiana, and they had one farmhouse, the stereotypical four-square home, with pyramidal house roof, 6 bedrooms, 1 bathroom behind the kitchen, both of which were added on in the 1920s and 1940s. The house was over 90 years old, and had this amazing basement. Never once flooded, but certainly used to shelter in times of weather emergencies.⛈🌫🌪
@@dougs7367 What part of hurricane zone confused you? By Florida building code High Velocity hurricane zones are required to be constructed of concrete or concrete block. Since Andrew it has been proven that all of Florida is a high velocity hurricane zone. Wood frame in Florida is not wise because if the hurricanes don't get you then the termites will.
As to brick: "Most homes in Florida with brick on the exterior are actually constructed with wood stud framing and the brick is applied as an exterior finish. The wood-framed wall behind the brick is the structure and the brick just provides a pleasing facade, as shown in the photo below of a home under construction." That is not a house made of brick.
@@TisDana Yeah Houston has seen it's share of hurricanes. Concrete block buildings are great in high wind areas but not so much in flood areas as concrete block is normally build on a concrete slab.
Hey Dan! Another good video! Very interesting info. As usual, thanks for sharing.
Don't know if you're aware, and just an interesting little factoid: In British (and I think international) English, they call the insulation material "aluminium" (Al-loo-MIN-ee-um). But in American English, they say "aluminum" (Al-LOO-min-um).
Just a little nuance of American English, in case you were curious. As always, my wife and I continue to pray for you, Suzie, and Sati. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My dad who was a sparkie (slang for electrician) from Britain and he went to work in Moscow back in the seventies with his company as their knowledge and experience was needed to do the work out there back then. He liked the architecture and some of Russia but not the cold as he was out there in winter. He did bring back a russian doll of which I loved. Sadley he has now passed away at the age of 85 but I always remember the photos of him in russia with his russian fur hat and the doll he brought back for me. Dan you and your stories are so compelling to watch as you are someone who has a good soul and tells the truth. We love listening to your life and family Xxxx
Thanks Dan for the information and differences
The jacket color is by brand, not code. Romex is available either round, or oval shape like what you are showing. Round is preferred, because it is less likely to kink.
We follow the NEC (National Electrical Code) as the minimum standard. Additional requirements are in place in some US cities.
I Love This video 👏❗️
And your English is amazing.
Blessings from Paso Robles, California,USA 🇺🇸

Love your family keep up these great videos. Your home is going to be beautiful.
My parents house has the metal pipes/conduit that wires ran through, but in the 1960's when it was built each wire (3) was fed through separately, didn't have the already prepared bundles of 3. But any new wiring using the bundles (whatever the proper name is) does not require the metal tube/conduit anymore for residential building codes. But I always thought the metal tube was safer because it would prevent any nails or screws accidently hitting a wire if you were hanging a picture, putting up shelves etc.
Would that not also protect the wiring from fire? I don't mean an out and out conflagration, or a total loss house fire, but smaller controllable burns that can be put out before losing the whole wall or ceiling?
you are probably talking about knob and tube wiring which only ran through ceramic pipes when it went through a wood stud or joist. otherwise it was tied to ceramic insulators attached to the wood. i have never heard of individual wires in metal conduit.
Middle class families can buy brick homes in US infact it’s very common ,it depends on where one is from on what kind of homes are popular. Here we have all types of homes stick built homes are generally considered desirable. The standards for building a home are high as inspections are required.
Tenn is brick CA is wood. Mostly
@@wanarazyeah I live right next to Tennessee in NC we have both.
Hello from California ❤😊
So proud of you and your family, Dan. 😊
Hello Dan, nice job with the video. Yes you are absolutely correct in that there is difference between different countries electric wiring codes. Yes here in USA, we have an electric code standard for use throughout the country. Yes we are talking about AC alternating current and not DC direct current.
Some areas require inspection of work done to ensure no code violations are present in the structure of home dwelling. Some areas like here in Texas that are not incorporated into a city, don't have inspection requirements and it's up to the home owner to follow the electric codes to ensure safety.
Yes we do have stainless steel electric conduit (tubing to carry electric wires). That is primarily for commercial applications like schools and government buildings etc... . We can use PVC or steel or flexible conduit. We do require nail shield which is simply a strip of hardened steel to cover suds on over the areas where the electric wire passes through the wood stud be it 2x4 or 2x6 inch studs. This prevents anyone whom may be latter install drywall or individual putting up a picture frame. The nail shield will not allow someone to drive a nail or screw into the wiring behind the nail shield. This prevents damage to wiring results into fires 🔥. There is much more in the code here to share but it too lengthy to explain. Most contractors and electric conscious home owners try to size wiring next size up from given load requirements. This oversized wiring will prevent over heating of the wiring due to load limit current draw through the wire that will produce heat (not good). Many of us (voluntary/ not code requirement) will install a circuit capable of 20 amp load continuous and protect it with a 15 amp breaker in the breaker box. Yes it cost more to do this, but it engineers safety into the wiring circuit to be fully reliable and protected. 73 and GOD bless you and your family and everyone else whom reads this. Thanks 👍 Earnest K5EWM.
In Canada we can wire our own home, but need a licensed electrician to sign off on it.
We have two kinds of electricians.1. For houses.2. Industrial applications.
Yeah same for us..we have residential & commercial as well...but we have to have a licensed electrician to do any work.
Same in US.
We use conduit in the US just as in Russia. Our permits depend on if it is in the city or the country which you are building a house in. A city has their own electrical inspector and complex regulations to meet their specific code. They have to come and inspect the wiring to sign off saying it passed inspection. Prices have doubled on building materials in the US on everything. Inflation has made people that were middle class here also struggle and need assistance to get the basic household bills paid and feed their families---we call it making ends meet in the USA. Able to get by with nothing fancy or much left over for a better quality of living.
My husband does both he is a master electrician, and licensed for industrial and homes. You would not believe how many home owner wiring screws up jobs he has re done, because the work done by novices would not pass an inspection nor be signed off by an electrician. Ends up costing the home owner more in the long one.
And I believe by law one has to have a licensed electrician wire a home, especially in the case where a permit is obtained. Of course you always have those who do not do so in Canada.
Great video.Your English is very good.Your video reminds me that regardless of the country in which we live we are mostly the same.Good hard working people that just want to provide for our families the best we can and pass on love and our knowledge to our families and friends.I pray our Governments soon see the value of peace and love.Look forward to more of your videos.
My dad he's Electrician . We live her in Florida as far as I know each state has different laws or code on construction and building. Especially when our state is a state of Hurricane. Love ur content.... Each of us learns new things every day. Prayers 🙏 from USA Florida
Your a smart guy Dan ,always enjoy your videos ,stay well . From USA
Great video! Thank you so much for taking time to share!
That was very interesting. Bless you Dan and family!!
So wonderful to see you ,and don’t apologize. ❤to you and your family.
Great video Dan! Thank you for sharing your observations. I found your observations informative and interesting. Best wishes to you and your family. I'm very impressed with your building project, knowledge and skills.
Dan hopefully you get the work done soon so Suzi doesnt hurt you!❤😂 I understand how hard it is living in a home under construction with a small child. Trying times but you will get through it. Blessing to the family
Great video. I have a problem with my wiring and so i turned off power to half my house until i can call and pay for an electrician. I wish you lived next door to me so i can ask for your advice. Thank you to whoever sent you that tool that is helping you so much. That is wonderful! i always learn from your videos. Thank you.❤
I always love watching your videos. Always very informative. Thank you
Dan, thanks for bringing us closer!
Excellent instructional video, thanks 😊
Hello Dan love seeing you😊
I always smile every time he says “adorables.” I love your channel, thank you for showing us what everyday Russians are like! We are the same, despite what our governments say! Russia is and always will be on my bucket list of countries to visit, I’d love to meet you someday! You’d give me a better tour than anyone else could!
Thank you for sharing your work.
Looks like you are doing a great job. The standards in the US are different but, you are making every effort to make your wire installation as safe as possible.
Please don't apologize. For anything. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER ❤️ AND WE LOVE THE 3 OF YOU. WE ENJOY BEING WITH YOU AND SUZI AND BABY .❤❤❤
Great video Dan! Thanks for sharing, I hope you and the family are doing well and surviving through all of this craziness. Keep up the high standards and looking forward to the new video content. Your English is getting better and better, keep it up! You and your family stay SAFE!
Dan you are such an AWESOME HUMBLE MAN!!!! YOUR FAMILY IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU!!! Thank you for sharing this video with us. I was wondering, are you building this on top of your already existing house??????? Love your videos 💕
Dan after knowing about your family for several years now I have seen you are a very knowledgeable man.
Dan, I thought you were done remodeling??? You are a great man!!! That is a huge task to do yourself! I commend you.
Your adorable family will be safe in a house built by you, Dan Your English is good too! 👍👏❤
I learned a lot. Thank you for your thoughts and your English is great! 👍
Your comments about wood vs concrete popularity were interesting! I am in the USA, but in the state of Alaska. Even in the extreme cold, wood is much more common for houses here. Public buildings like schools, shops, and offices were wood a long time ago (1930s) because they were easier to build, then concrete was popular starting in the 1950s, and now most are steel or concrete.
Good vid Dan, Thank you. Keep up the good work there. Blessings to your families and friends and neighbors!
Your honesty is commendable.
truly enjoy this look into a russian family, well worth my time. thank you so much. love to your family, from canada.
Dan, I am inspired by your craftsmanship and your work in learning a new language. You speak English WAY better than I speak any other language! I want to begin learning now.
Your home is beautiful and safe .Your blessed! Thank you for sharing you knowledge❤️
Yes where I live in the US the frame work/foundation of the houses are made of wood with brick on the outside for looks.
