So long as they meet your production standards, I have no problem with bringing on other creators to contribute to your channel. But it's your channel, and so you're putting your name on whatever it is they produce.

[@chillstep4life]

yah I always feel like its kinda risky when other people start taking over a youtube channel.

I think just the one video a week is good. Quality over quantity. Also there's only so much time in a week and if there's 3 videos a week i won't be watching every one meanwhile one a week i can watch every one

[@markproulx1472]

Thank you for saving me the trouble of writing a comment.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks so much for the feedback. That is the risk of cranking things up and also why I am not locking in in on what is the best path forward. I am interested in testing out new things in general but always appreciate the feedback.

[@carolynk3022]

Love the build list idea. That is good planning which can prevent multiple trips to the hardware or big box stores.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

@@carolynk3022 As DIYers we are always trying to reduce the number of trips to the hardware store 😅

Being alone in my house, you saved me a fortune and I thank you. From a Canadian girl from Quebec

[@shubinternet]

For myself, if I have to choose between quality and quantity, I choose quality every time. So, as long as you can keep the quality of your posts to the same standard, then I welcome having more content to watch. Thanks!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

💯 and thanks for the feedback.

[@coreygage2023]

You introduced me to wago lever nuts and it has been a game changer. I just wired a three car garage with lights, outlets, a 240 volt receptical and a 100 amp breaker box. Thanks a million!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Nice!

[@hassanbazzi3545]

Congratulations. Your hard work is paying off. I will definitely watch all the videos you will post. I enjoyed the rest of the guys. Free and clean videos beats any others. Well done 👍

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

I had a reservation for an F150 lighting. Over a year went by and still wasn't called to order so I canceled and got back my interest free loan to FoMoCo. Last week I finally got a chance to test drive one as the dealership had several on the lot. I was like Meh. Didn't really do anything for me. Didn't find it comfortable to sit in either compared to the Silverado. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you this is I know you're excited to get a CyberTruk and had a goal set to get one. My advice is to wait until you can sit in one. If you get one and you hate it, don't expect to be able to turn around and sell or trade it without it costing you a fortune.

[@donz6901]

Thanks for the information. I have been watching your videos for at least two years and you have helped me on some projects, such as patching my driveway and walks. I also bought the same secure door latch after watching your video and I put on my walk in garage door for a more secure door for possible break-in and I added three inch galvanized screws for strength all around. Thanks again for your help. Don from Milwaukee

[@jamessotherden5909]

Looking forward to the new year of videos. Your videos gave me the know how to change out outlets and install outlet boxes.

[@jwhillyer]

This is a great channel. You have helped me so much with regular DIY projects. I will be following your channel the rest of this year, and am excited to hear about your plans for 2024.

[@imacexpress]

I seem to feel the sweat spot is one maybe two videos a week. I may not be able to watch both every week, but the options are nice. I’ve been a watcher for a few years for sure. Really appreciate your help over the years. I think your Shed build idea, design plans, shopping cart fill all sounds nice. I personally need a shed and I think it’s got to be one of the more popular “needs”.

[@howardg4443]

Keep up the amazing DIY videos. Once a week instructional is great. Maybe put into practice some shorts that may provide some tips on some specific small projects. I love your videos and they have helped me learn how on many levels of projects I’ve done. Thank You for what you do!

[@100vg]

I didn't know you do Polls. I'll start participating. I knew how to search and channel's video page. I have enjoyed your videos with visitors and other KZbinrs, so more should be great. Full DIY projects from plans doing all the work and then comparing them to pre-constructed store bought and kits would be great. One-click shopping lists would be great. If we wanted say a different 2x4 type or roofing type, etc., we could make our own changes, and maybe you could accommodate that with check boxes. If you get a Cybertruck and video that trip and process, it would also be very interesting to see follow up videos on things you still really like and things which become a disappointment over time. I'm talking a few videos over time, after the newness and excitement ware off. It's going to be a 1st year release, so there could be some bugs to be worked out. Personally, I would never buy a 1st year release of any vehicle. Your November 22, 2019 price from the *F150 Owner Is Switching To The Cybertruck* video was ≈$57,000. From everything I've been hearing about Tesla, prices have skyrocketed, but are supposed to be coming down again. Are you locked into a price from 2019, which I think is doubtful, so how much is it now, if you don't mind saying. I will say, Good luck with it and I hope you love it.

[@rontiemens2553]

Fantastic channel. Your teaching style really brings in the learner and provides confidence based on understanding, knowledge, and respect for safety. This is true of your guest presenters as well. I look forward to what you have in store for '24! 👍

I believe it has to be your decision. Some can watch (and appreciate) 3-4 a week,others can only watch one. Put the info out here and see how it is received.

[@anneoreilly4900]

Bringing in your experts helps share their knowledge within an existing channel - a win win.

Yes, always good to introduce “ new blood “ into the channel looking forward to the new year!

[@wallingj68]

I'm good with the changes as long as you don't go down the This Old House road and make the projects way above and beyond the average DIYer. And following in the TOH vein, you're the face of Everyday Home Repairs, so when you have other experts doing video's on YOUR channel, and it just launches into them doing the project, it's a bit shocking. Even if you did a quick blurb introducing the person doing the video that week (which I think you may have started doing), it would keep some of us from thinking that we clicked on the wrong video. And, 6 years into this project you represent the "brand", so... Keep up the great work!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

I have went back and forth on the format for the guest creators. I see advantages to doing the introductions for all the faithful viewers but also see the value of just jumping right into the topic at hand. I appreciate the support and feedback.

[@hvailjr]

I think additional experts is a great idea but please keep the output to beginners and intermediate DIYers.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Honestly, something that I would really like is a video on all the different kinds of PVC fittings and couplings, and everything like that.

[@CaptM44]

I really appreciate the compare and contrast cost videos you’ve done. I’d like to see one for pouring concrete, like a sidewalk, driveway extension, or larger shed slab

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks for the suggestions and support!

[@ldc0707]

I’ve enjoyed and benefitted from your videos for years now… many thanks. As for increasing your video output? Let’s remember that we have repairs that need to be done around the home and yard, so too many videos is not necessarily conducive to that 😉

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

🙂 good point and thanks for the continued support.

[@Noochbaby]

Lots of good ideas here! I’ll just add that oftentimes for channels like yours I don’t watch the video immediately, I watch it when I’m ready to do the project. Not sure how that affects your watch time and views.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

That is how 95% of the audience consumes the videos and really what we would assume especially when we crank up the frequency of videos being released. Thanks for the feedback.

[@aaronp1764]

While I think your current format is great, im excited to see where things go. Thank you for everything you put into the channel and genuinely helping everyone!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks for all the support 🙌

[@MyGuyKirby]

Yes, keep up the once a week but I do like having a few extra’s from the new creators you have partnered with. Rather than long videos on bigger projects consider breaking down to help viewing times and reduce links to material lists

[@Obtuse94]

Love this change.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks so much!

[@buddyboy4x44]

You have the personna and ability to make videos that are very watchable. Third parties move away from that successful formula so take care, as it is clear you will.

[@NWcpl]

Came from your solar channnel! just subd here too. 🙂

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Nice, welcome to my other channel 👍

[@NWcpl]

Too bad you aren't in the NW, would love to have you come out and put up solar panels on my shed and use it for your other channel to show folk how it's done to have solar just for the shed.@@EverydayHomeRepairs

[@ursamajor7468]

A video on building a shed, urban/suburban chicken coop, catio 🐈‍⬛ or outdoor birdcage might be unique and helpful.

[@ursamajor7468]

Shorts seem quite effective in bringing in new subscribers. I have subscribed to several channels after discovering them that way. Otherwise good quality weekly videos are better than quantity.

[@Fnu-ex1tc]

I would expect one to two videos per week because of the quality of production. Like someone else had mentioned, "quality over quantity."

[@joedance14]

It would be helpful to know what would be involved in running, or adding, a 220/240 volt single phase circuit.

[@jstpsgthru]

Amazing and exciting! I hope you're not disappointed with that Tesla.

[@ncooty]

Kudos to you for trying new things. I have 2 thoughts on this. First, don't lower quality in order to chase viewers with quantity. I think quality gains and keeps viewers. For me, the value is much more in the advice than in the editing. Second, I value advice from pros who know code and offer suggestions for utility and durability. I absolutely do not want advice from some DIYer who thinks they know a "hack".

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@TejSwaroop]

Maybe videos to find a good contractors in that zipcode or at least tips on finding a good one and price for different repairs will help.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Oh man, no doubt. That is a struggle for most of us. Thanks for the feedback!

[@azph]

Would love a vid on how to rewire one circuit on a long wall without cutting sheet rock? Needing about 5 outlets? Mine got cooked. Thanks.

[@davidwayneprins]

I've thought about doing Electrical DIY videos based on my years working in that department of the local Menards and as I tweak things in my WWI era house. But I quickly gave up video documenting the process. My video production background was slowing the projects down way too much in wanting to block out all the shots, shoot from three angles and then edit. To quote Larry the Cable Guy, I just wanted to "get 'er done".

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Oh man, documenting on video definitely stretches out the project 😅

[@soldier7439]

Scott, do you have a video on the easiest/most affordable way to add a soft close capability to our kitchen drawers? Please and thanks!

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Depending on the type of cabinet hinges this one might help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJqnhKOQjZiEh6M

[@soldier7439]

Thanks for the quick response, Scott! I did use those for our cabinets, but unsure how to proceed with the drawers. Do you have a video for soft close drawer install specifically?

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

I just spent 1/2 hour trying to unscrew my old rusted license plate screws. - do a video showing how vise grips can save the day.

If you do a shed video, make sure to cover the site prep. The one put up by the previous owner of my house is rotting from the ground up.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Totally agree. I will probably do several videos maybe doing a Good, Better, Best format.

[@Jgood22]

Any guesses what time of year those will be coming out? I'm in the midst of planning how I'm going to do our shed and weighing those exact 3 options

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

@@Jgood22 I am trying to get those done as soon as possible but would like the weather to be above freezing so probably March - April 2024. I will purchase the shed kit and that is where I will start with a gravel foundation 👍

[@kennethpon9498]

EVs of any kind is a bad idea when you consider that about 61% of electricity in this country (USA) is produced by fossil fuels. Take into account the inefficiencies of the energy conversions from fossil fuel into heating water into super-heated steam, through turbines, rotational energy into electrical energy from a generator, into transforming the voltage from the lower voltage output of a generator to bulk transmission level voltages (500+ KV), conversion into lower level transmission voltages (230-345 KV+), conversion into local transmission level voltages (~138- 69KV), conversion into distribution line level voltages (12.5 - 35 KV), conversion into the typical 120/240V house-level consumer voltages and one ends up consuming more fossil fuels-- a classic case of unintended consequences. Also, the electrical grid infrastructure just cannot handle a mass conversion to EVs capacity-wise. One would, instead, have to settle for local/neighborhood/home EV recharging stations powered by fossil fuels such as diesel, oil, gasoline or natural gas. How absurd is that? And these problems do not even take into account the low range of EVs, long recharging times, the massive destruction to the environment mining rare earth elements, China's stranglehold on these rare earth elements (a national security issue), dangers of lithium-ion batteries, the difficulty of putting out lithium-ion battery fires, and cost of replacement of these batteries (as much as the original cost of the car). Hard to conceive that anyone would think mass EV usage is a good idea. OK, I'm off my soap box. :-) I want to say that I am new to your channel and, being a DIY'er, I really appreciate your content.Thanks much!

[@rickski3769]

wondering...... did you make enough revenue for the cyber truck ?? 🤔 ... ( i just went back and watched your cyber truck video )

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Mission accomplished ✅

[@rzh3443]

I'll be "fascinated" by your Cybertruck odysseys- maybe. I think it is a mistake to buy something that new off the line. Musk has numerous issues with his vehicles and many recalls, Let someone else test the beta versions. "Remember the Delorean !" I do enjoy your videos. The main complaint about many of these type videos, regardless of channel, is that they tend to edit out the real life issues you run into doing these tasks. This Old House is especially bad for this. They appear to have a crew come in, in advance, to loosen or remove troublesome screws and bolts, provide easy access , always have the right part in hand. My personal rule is if you think an hour for a job , triple it for the real world.

[@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou]

I suggest that you do at the very least a brief on camera intro for every video that features a different expert. It could be a simple set up shot done at a totally different time & place or could be onsite with an actual personal introduction, but since you are the face of the channel, there is a great amount of reputation and trust built up that could be somewhat eroded by seeing someone else without explanation. This is not to imply that your experts are any less anything but likely could result in not recognising the channel and or being a bit jarring to some without context. A presentor role suits your style in any case. Ooh, videos where you interview your experts about their background, experience and expertise might be interesting, especially if you intend on giving each a specific video playlist.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Hey George thanks so much for the feedback and support!

You could make videos to help an untrained older woman make repairs on mobile home issues. I cannot afford to pay someone but have no knowlege on how to do repairs.

[@ursamajor7468]

I think a Tesla truck would be a mistake. Lots of hidden costs, extremely expensive repairs, tires (tires don’t last very long on electric vehicles) and Tesla quality control issues are rife. I really want an electric vehicle but beware of Tesla which overpromise and underperform.

[@johnslaughter5475]

Belinda Carr does a lot of that comparison stuff. They're not bad. I think it all has to do with building materials and methods. As for the Tesla, I will NOT watch that. Personally I'd like to see Musk go bankrupt and all of his companies with him. You want an electric truck? How about the Ford F-150 Lightning? We're going to be seeing a lot more EVs in the fairly near future.

[@EverydayHomeRepairs]

Yeah, to be honest i am a big fan of Elon and when it comes to producing advances on multiple fronts I would say it is hard to deny Elon is the best we have seen in a long time. The lightning is a good truck but I expect the Cybertruck will be a great truck. Time will tell 🤷‍♂️
