Eric’s never ending talents are awesome, is there anything he CAN’T do? He cooks, he fishes, he drives, he builds, he cuts lumber I mean Ariel you seriously are a VERY lucky lady to have such a capable husband. And he never seems to run out of energy either. I think the two of you together are amazing: Ariel the grower, the gardener, the canner, the bread maker, you too are brilliant and so enjoyable to watch. Well done and please, keep the videos coming. Stay safe xx

And I would add that he doesn't patronize you and isn't threatened by your competence. You both seem to respect and empower one another and work together as an extremely capable team. Lastly, I would also add that in addition to what you're listing as her gifts/strengths, Ariel is an outstanding photographer/cinematographer AND video editor/producer, which is likely the source of all of their current income. The bottom line is that between the two of you, there doesn't seem to be anything you two can't do! Super impressed. Congratulations on getting so much done and done well!

I gotta wonder how much time they spent taking classes, or learning from some expert nobody knew was an expert. Classes on butchery? On canning? How to build X, Y, or Z? I particularly like that there is what he knows, what she knows, and what they both know.

We bought a newly built house last fall and found that the basement only had one outlet and the lights on a pull chain.....in a $500,000 house. The first thing my husband did was install more outlets in the basement. You can never have too many and it is easier to install them in the construction stage rather than after drywall and insulation is complete.

15 years as an electrician. Thanks for putting the connectors on the metal boxes. Also please change the vent fan electrical box from plastic to metal I'm twitching over here that metal MC wire from the fan needs to be put into a metal box to continue the ground slash bonding. You could probably keep going with your strut and EMT. Just put a nut then a washer then the strut then a washer than a nut on your threaded rod. You should probably do this anyways because it will not stay tight against the foam. I believe you could get away with only six lights total those High bays are very bright good choice but the more light the better. If you wanted to dim the purple and gray would require wires back to the switch and you would need a 0 to 10 volt switch dimming switch the lights are still 120 volt but the dimming circuit is 0 to 10 volt. Looking forward to more videos thanks

Suggestion: Please check with your electrician friend to ensure that #12 wire will work for the long power runs across the shop. I've worked large commercial buildings and we often ran #10 wire across the building to the junction box then used #12 to run from the junction box to the outlets. There are tables that will tell you size of wiring for distance and well as current & voltage. I do enjoy watching your progress and don't want you to have issues with a power feed that heats up because it doesn't have the cushion capacity for the distance you're running.

I have over 50 years of experience in the electrical industry. You have made most of the changes that I would have suggested. I'm waiting to see what kind of outside lights that you are installing. Most lights are installed onto round or octagon boxes, not switch boxes. It's a good idea to have each side of lights on separate circuits. That way you can add more lights if needed and not worry about overloading the circuits. Also I only install six 120 volt receptacles per circuit. Always install plenty of 120 volt receptacles and some 240 volt receptacles if you have have 240 volt equipment. I am impressed with Arielle and your abilitie and work ethics. Great work and great video. 😊

Another suggestion….My husband is an electrician and said you should use 3/4” EMT conduit on your outer walls because if you ever want to add any wire for anything it would give you plenty of room to pull your wire. He said you want to also use jam nuts on the threaded rod so it will tighten in and not get loose.

The armour for the exhaust fan cable should be taken through the stud and secured to the box. The bare copper wire (bond wire) should be attached to the armour to provide a ground connection for the exhaust fan. Changing the plastic box with a metal box will make the bond wire connection to the armour much easier. Two bare wires should never be installed as you are doing in the video. This advise is to be considered constructive as I am the electrician and you are learning. Love your video's.

I'm an electrical engineer and see some problems with your design. Grounding is a very critical item. All metal boxes, power panel, building metal structure requires a grounding system. I recommend following the Alaska electrical code as it is the only protection for shock. The ground system enables circuit breaker faults to ground which protects your from a short to the building or metal devices. I don't want you hurt and 3 wire romex is the better choice for electrical wiring as it provides a fault path in the case of short circuits. Regards, Ron Conway

When it comes to a work building, I have one suggestion. (Told to me many years ago by an old timer, Now, I'm the old timer LOL) When you plan out your lights, and outlets, put in all your boxes, and then, put in some more! What this does is when all wired, you will use a lot less drop cords. Drop cords suck, esp when you are dong something and are walking(tripping) on them! Not heard of the brand of flashing tape you are using, but for ease of use and getting it stuck really good, the other brands you should be using a roller to install it. Those lights look great. Just 5 yrs ago, my choice(and what the purse allowed) was 5500 Lumen 4' lights, I put 16 in my 24X30 shop, and I could not ask for it to be any better. My eve is 16' and my walls are 12'. But, todays lights are even better from what I have seen. My lights called for no more than linking 4 lights together, and 8 total on a circuit. As for your outside lights(except for the motion detector one) I'd put a timer o n them so no excessive power usage. I know your lifestyle as you have learned to live with, you are going to have so much more power with your gen and solar, than yo have had, can't help but think the 8KW gen is going to be on the small side. But with a good size power bank(batteries) it'll all work good. I was under the impression that the shipping container you mounted your solar on, was gong to house your batteries, gen and so on, but it makes more sense to put it in your qanset(sp) hut building due mainly because of the heat, esp for the batteries. Just like you did for your vehicles, I think block heaters will be needed for the Gen too. And not just for the gen it's self, but also for the diesel tank you'll be putting in to keep the diesel from jelling up. I am so happy for you two with getting all this done! It's gonna be great being able to take off on one of your adventures, and know that everything is gong to work, even when you aren't at home. Great video! Oh yeah was glad to see you put the clamps on the switch boxes LOL

You guys so deserve to get to 1 million followers. I’ve recommended you to a number of people. This is one mega building, you’ll benefit greatly from this now and years to come. Apart from your garden plan I can’t think of anything else you need. However after watching you for a couple of years you’ll come up with another project. 😅

Eric and Arielle, You 2 are AMAZING! This video was fun to watch and your quonset is turning out AWESOME! Eric when you plugged in that new light~~~ WOW that was BRIGHT! With 12 of those you will have more than enough light! A barking wolf.... yup... that's what it was! 😂 You 2 work so well together! You remind me of how my Husband and I have worked together for over 48 years! ❤Can't wait to see what happens next! Until your next video~~~Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! ❤

You may want to reconsider adding a dimmer to the high-bay lights. They will draw nearly 2000 watts on their own with is 25% of the generator capacity. Either that or split your circuits into 4 zones and only turn on the lights you need. Looks great though!

I'm late to watching this in Australia, but on purpose, I wanted to watch it without interruptions. Honestly you two are awesome, the knowledge that I learn from you both is fantastic, not sure if I will ever use it all, but I am better at conversations now!!! Thank you, seriously I could watch your video's daily, I love when you drop them.

Love your videos. I noticed an issue (unless I just can't see) with the door jamb at the 41-minute mark. If the deadbolt doesn't go into the framing, or at least a large striker plate with screws going into the framing, one strong kick or push of a bear and the door jamb is done. :)
