[non]PROFESSIONAL Installs 3 SUB PANELS

[@TheElectronMan]

I am an electrician by trade and you wired your subpanels correctly a lot people make a mistake here. As in the only place the ground should be bonded is on the main panel on the subpanels you need to run a 4th wire and isolate the ground from the neutral which you did a good job...

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you, it's nice to hear that!

[@seeenuf]

Glad to see that you're up and around. Guess the foot is feeling better.

[@sam-and-angela]

It is… and a topic that I’m going to make an update video on very soon. :)

[@auntlouise]

If y'all have not used Angela's soap, your are missing out. She special made me a whole loaf of Lemon/Rosemary soap and it is heavenly! Check out their store!

[@diyfferent]

It's really cool to see you being more comfortable and confident with electrical work.

[@Niteowl99]

Elijah is such a tremendous young man to help out around the homestead.

[@danielheartsill4269]

I live in the Dallas Tx area. In winter our water is very cold, like it has been in the ice chest with ice. In the summer time our cold water is almost like bath water. Makes it nice for kids to play in sprinklers in summer. Enjoy watching as always, take care.

[@TheCookster64]

You don't have the winter weather we do but I would still recommend building a shelter over that Mr. Cool unit. Nothing fancy, just a roof.

[@JL-ym4eb]

I love your oldest son always helping his Dad. He looks like a great worker. Enjoy your channel and your family. Have a great year and looking forward to more videos.

[@beckypage6041]

Hi guys, I’m so glad you two just dropped in when you did. I needed some honest context. Been stuck in bed sick since a couple days before Christmas. Very first case of the flu in my life and didn’t handle it to well. Your disclaimer about not being a professional in anything keeps me subscribed to y’all. You own it and I appreciate it. Take care and stay safe 😊

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww, so sorry to hear you've been sick! We had the flu in early December and it took us about 12 days solid to feel better. I (Sam) had a secondary infection of bronchitis that required steroids and also an inhaler to finally get rid of.

[@beckypage6041]

@@sam-and-angela thank you for your kind words.

[@NickWilbertCapps]

That beat sounded like My Sharona. When you going to give me some give me some

[@jimdelong949]

Sam I always learn something from you. On this video I just have to figure out how to make my fingers move as fast as yours.😄 Always good to see you two. Always have a good laugh. Good to see the boys getting involved where they can. Wishing you the best of success in 2023 Stay warm and safe

[@rvgalpals7245]

Nice job! It always feels good to get those projects done,doesn’t it?…then on to the next😉 Is Angela going to share some soap projects? I’m a soaper too, so I’m always on the look for some different way of doing soap☺️

[@carlapierle8623]

Good morning y’all!! I’m sure it’s a relief to get your out buildings all wired up to the grid. Agree, Angela, washing oily items is not fun using cold water.

[@markchidester6239]

Good job. One thing you didn't mention is with the larger wire. You need to tighten the lugs to the proper torque, loosen them, tighten them, loosen them, then torque them again. The reason is the strands shift and squish out sideways. If you didn't do this, you will want to. You will most likely find them loose. Also, over time, lugs can loosen up due to heat cycles. It is a good idea to retorque screw terminals on your breakers after a few years of use. You'll be surprised how they loosen. Glad to see that you used the goop to prevent corrosion.

[@ikks78]

It is technically an COLD WATER HEATER ;P Have a nice day hugs from Sweden

[@KevinCoop1]

I did electrical design from 1983 to 2018. You have done very well on your installations with one exception. In NEC, the Article to do with outdoor branch circuits and feeders, it states that where an outdoor feeder enters a detached structure, you must have a means of disconnect. Since you put in MLO panels, you do not have your conductors connected to a breaker which could be the required disconnecting means. If you need the article number, I can look it up for you. Safety switches would also work. Best wishes, Kevin

[@foundrylabz]

Let me tell you all something! Those SOAPS ARE AMAZING! If you have not had the chance to get some! DO! I love the ones we have! Highly recommend them!

[@geofreypejsa54]

i loved the electrical sub-panel video. Nice job on it! Only 5.3K more users to the magical 100K subscribers!!

[@2MorMor]

I LOVE that you ARE EASILY AMUSED!

[@timnewman1172]

Sam, you may not be a "professional" but your wire layout in the box is very neatly done!

[@estellaknox9285]

Hi Sam and Angela, glad to see you back always enjoy your content and get a good laugh 😂😂 from Sam .

[@JonoGeeGee]

Now that tune is in my head. Thanks??!!! Awesome content. Always gets me thinking about what I should be doing for my workshop and property 😀 As always, from our family to yours... thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@terryhenderson424]

Aside for everything else, it was nice to have a peak at the inside of the soap shack. I dint know that I've seen it before.

[@rockyevans5171]

Sam it is so neat to watch your son learning how to work along with Dad.

[@chrisunderwood2524]

I was excited to see you this afternoon with a new video...hope your foot is doing much better Sam...and what a bummer to find out that the water tank froze...looking forward to watch your next project..Hope you and the boys are having a very Happy and healthy new year...

[@andrewperry8389]

You should have sent the boy to go find the wire stretcher lol 😆 great video glad to see you back at it.

[@dmcalais]

Sam, that ring is called an Adlet , I like them they make a finished job.

[@KevinJohnson-je1pe]

Another great video guys. Sam maybe Angela needs a dishwasher in the soap shack.👍😁

[@Hollybank5]

Y’all are so sweet 🥰 Congratulations on being back at work - with heat too !!! 🎉❤

[@dorisantwine]

love watching You Both and seeing your kids watching and learning so much.

[@angelacross2216]

Sweet, another foundational project done. Must feel so good.

[@doloresbingham7956]

[@kathrynmauro8673]

Woo Hoo! You two are ready to rock! Love the color of the paint in the Soap Shed. Same as your home?

[@haydenuk02]

Amazing work and good to see Sam your feet are doing better. Thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@jamesscroggins3486]

That was a professional looking job! Great work.

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Sam Angela & boys,interesting video.I so enjoy watching your channel.Have a nice week.🌷💕🌷

[@leeboerner6681]

Looks nice but I would use rigid or flex metallic conduit between the box and receptacle boxes. Even for temporary use.

[@cheryld4484]

Yay a new video! Thanks Happy Friday Sam, Angela and feral children lol

[@janetkoball44]

Thanks for the info that I could never understand but you do. You all get right to your business at hand and is very interesting. Thanks from Central Oklahoma

[@sharonaxelrod4608]

It is very satisfying watching you finish projects. I have just been writing lists of things I want to do and that is as far as it gets for now. Happy you are able to work on some things without reinjuring yourself. Your son is such a helpful sweet soul. It makes me happy to see him help you. God love you all.

[@2MorMor]

i AM IMPRESSED BY HOW YOU SOLVE issues!

[@carolyncarlson3825]

Love seeing and hearing y'all. It good to see you going forward with all your plans....hugs

[@lindamaskus5142]

My hubby isn't a licensed electrician either, but he worked maintenance in a hospital many years ago, so he's done a lot of wiring too. He fixes any issues we have.

[@suesmith4325]

I hollered "Watch your glue! Watch your glue!" I think my neighbor heard me. LOL!!

[@stevenpeck5949]

Water? Water collection and storage. Water as in water batteries. Water as in crops. Lots of off grid water issues to investigate.

[@doncc6080]

Sam if you did not know it you can splice wires in load centers/sub panels. Glad you are all electrified.

[@peggystutz8522]

You are like my son n law a blessed by the good Lord, to build, fix or just make things work and in a safe manner. Bless you all in the New Year. 💕

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Excellent job Sam! Also great video!

[@larryfeeks6620]

Happy New Year, y'all! Always enjoy your content, and keep in mind you're not an electricologist.

[@wizard3z868]

I'm not a pro so my advice is not as wallet friendly but when doing outdoor connections use exterior rated ductseal and with the concentric ring knockouts with the larger conduits use ductseal and the reducing washers anyways. Those ring knockouts are not that watertight over time especially in frog freeze areas

[@LookUpTheKalergiPlanWhitePeeps]

Great resolve for the wires coming up a little short!

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks 👍

[@jamesharless5357]

Great video, and great job Sam!👍🏻

Hi Sam & Angela. Happy New Year to you, and family! I always enjoy watching your videos, and seeing the next project. I can relate. I'm a "Jack of all trades", and my Master is one. You get it. Blessings from Rick in N.H.

[@caspercook7337]

hey Sam been awhile i still watch your videos, i hope you all had a good christmas and a happy new year

[@cliff5240]

Sam you might not be licensed but you definitely have some experience. I have some very basic understanding but outside of that I just never can wrap my head around electrical wiring -- shocking I know :)

[@amma3536]

Take care and be blessed.😊

[@Cam-wi3tp]

Looks very clean and well done. You probably already know but you should make sure to wiggle the wires, tight, wiggle again and tighten until it won't tighten anymore. AAs you tighten the cables the strands expand, that's you need to wiggle tighten. If you didn't, yo uwill notice how loose the wires are.

[@thomasfreeman7770]

Looks good Sam, You forgot to show us the wire tie in at the soap shack and at the source at the rear of your home. Hope 60 amps is enough for soap and workshop loads together.

[@EBussom]

Well now ya'll being doing a lot. Didn't know the song, but the hubby guessed my sharona. Hope your foot is feeling better, take care.

[@lugnutzz75]

good work.. a tip for removing KO's is to use a small bit and drill out the spot weld and then file smooth. also it may not be required but good to use is a slip joint where conduits come out of ground to allow the heaving and contracting of the ground and movement of the buildings with ground up and down.

[@vickyrupe8999]

It may not be a tutorial, but up guys still do awesome work. Love the video 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@rubberdc]

Good afternoon Sam and Angela .

[@CCRobertsCarpentry]

I enjoyed your video you done a neat and good job.

[@juanitabrownlee9019]

U both r very talented people- enjoy watching your video as a lady I have learned alot from you both .

[@Truthandlight66]

More about the soap shed please 🙂 does Angela have her own channel for that?

[@ctapson4374]

Another great step!

[@timhogan2056]

Is that aluminum wire if it is going to steel lugs they can have chemical reaction between the two metals and lose power

[@Zeevah-x5g]

Sam and Angela, thank you so much for your videos! I want to let you know that I really enjoy them, and like seeing what you are up to! I did not watch the ads to the end today, I'm afraid. One was 42 minutes, and one was 40 minutes.... So I hit the skip ad button... Sorry!

[@gmapam215]

Good morning!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Like seeing that wiring done. Still ahead for me.

[@ShoxMG]

Hi Sam., i'm an electrican in Germany and i wonder what's inside the tube that you use after dismantling the cable. Under screw-terminals you normally use wire-end ferrules cause of the high pressure a screw terminal produces.

[@annapoppe8614]

Hi guys!!! I’ve been waiting for this video. Hope all is well.

[@dorotheaisserstedt9238]

[@darleneclark6098]

Morning guys. Your an excellent teacher of DIY ology 😂. Are those caterpillar boots I see? ☺️ Can you believe we haven't been able to find a pic ax in our area for two months now 🙄. Ugh that savere cold really screwed up a lot. Definitely no fun washing dishes with that cold water. Lol I know the song 🤣

Great job Sam ❤️👍🏼😉🇨🇦

[@lindasegraves6207]

Good work Sam, ha ha I am not a electrician either. Sam is one of your brothers an professional electrician? That may be where you learned your training. Congratulations Angela and Sam with having heat (air for summer) and electricity in your businesses. I know both of you will enjoy this convenience. Sam how are you doing with your feet? Did you go to the new Dr. or Surgeon? Sorry for so many questions but I am sincerely concerned.

[@sharonyerrell3748]

Hi miss your videos hope your health better x

[@leahr.2620]

When you said you weren't a pro at the beginning, I was waiting for you to say I'm not an electrologist, with that beard who'd a guessed🤣

Great video👍🙏

[@nancyparker8363]

"Fy nyth" has raised beds made with cinder blocks. She was able to move it when locations changed. I believe she didn't use mortar between the blocks

[@sandrahoglan7452]

Happy to see you. Have a great year and keep the videos coming. How do I order soap from.you?

[@judyherman1249]

I'm just curious, what was that stuff in the tube you were putting on the wires?

[@jackie6582]

🤣 I thought for sure it was going to fall

[@mikepetitt9624]

Well Sam now you have done it! Your going to have to add a Samcraft music channel now! 😅

[@annhope7760]

Happy New Year. Great video! I am always learning something on your channel.

Is there a reason that you couldn't take the crock pots into the house and wash them? Or heat water on the stove to wash them? Just wondering.

[@lynnobrien9429]

Great job Sam. any idea when honey oat soap be back in? I have asthma really bad figuring my best choice?

[@darangemaster1]

[@blakewillemsen9925]

Sam, do you have to pull permits for that?
