Looking at the sawmill in the background makes me homesick. I had a lot of spruce on the backside of my property and when clearing ground stacked it and other types of trees so to be used in the future. I saved thousands of dollars on forms as I used trees from the property and made my own forms as the bakelite forms are expensive. I made all my foundation forms and some sheds that had poured walls;; I had everything out of pocket and to start out with house and property paid for was a large step into the future of my business as a mechanic. I put in my own shop and it was big enough to have three lifts and room to park a few disabled rigs needing repair and my service truck. Took me a long time to unpack my "suitcase" or service truck as I worked out of it long enough to buy my place. Three years after I was permanent and truck was gone, a forest fire put me homeless again... a sick feeling
Thanks for the great video mate ,always enjoy watching this kind of work in a different country and climate ,been a plumber for thirty odd years retired now through injury so watch a lot of CZcams ,found your channel from Andrew's glad I did .Cheers from down under.
Great video and you did a nice job on showing how it was all done. I am no electrician but like you said some places don’t require any paperwork. As a welder I have had to hook up 440 welding banks and also done some wiring on my house. But I have never put in new service. To a house, the 360 rule on the conduit is something I didn’t know about. Again very nice 👍 job.
yea thats what this video was for, of course I could ramble on with my electrician lingo like alot of others. but I did electrical for a long time before I got my license so I dont mind helping other people in that position
@@jmuller86 Same here, 1,000 hours plus then I got bored and went on to working in Thermal Dynamics (Stationary Plant Operator for VEPCO), then techical writer for 40 years plus, now write novels. p.r.morehouse
@@jmuller86 You have an extraordinary ability to explain things. I would indeed like to see more videos from you about electrical, code, etc. Keep up fine work!
Very well done, Jesse. That was very informative and your explanations were right on the money. Plus those drone shots were spectacular. Look forward to more electric work videos.
Jesse You have so much knowledge and I am happy for you. because it pays off in the long run. So many people out there growing up and have no idea what they want to do! I was the same back many years ago. Growing up my Grandfather was my idol and my teacher. It gave me a great life. retired now and enjoying thinking back many years.
Just an awesome video. I love/look forward towards any video of yours, so completely understood while tongue in cheek entertaining. As a retired journeyman electrician from Walt disney world(2000-2017), and prior to that, 29 yrs as an all around maintenance(commercial & residential) mechanic(Paccar),truck-semi driver(interstate/intrastate)-tour bus driver(entertainment-electrical engineering[live & recording sound]), etc., had to keep busy when "off tour" in Seattle, until the mouse made me an offer I couldn't refuse LOL.....imagine my delight when email announces "Jesse Muller has posted a new video." oh boy howdy, I'm all in!
Nice Job Jesse! That was very interesting to see how the electical Power is Wired in the US. I´m Electitian too, but in Germany. Here we put in every House/ Appartment 3 Live Wires and PE/N. Usually we have 230V between L and PE/N and 400V between L1 and L2 for Example. AC at 50Hz In my House, the Mainfuses are 3x 63Amp (for the 3 Live Wires), also a 3x 60Amp Meter. Then it goes to a Subpanel in my Appartment and another Subpanel to my Garage. The normal electric Plug for Vacs, Fridge or TV is fused with 16 Amp, 230 V AC. Then there are Power Plugs for Machines like Concrete Mixer, Wood Splitter, Lathe or Cranes. These Powerplugs have Conection to all 3 Live Wire. The smallest has 3x 16Amp (11kW), then the next bigger has 3x 32 Amp (22kW) , 3x 63 Amp (43kW) and 3x 125Amp (86kW).
The us runs off 120v and big machines like large compressors motors ect are 220v single phase bigger motors are 3 phase with is 440v+ Mains in most houses are 150amp or 200 amp 220.
I'm Electitian in Russia, now we do the same. 230-240/380-400 But here i don't understand the scheme here. The transformer output must be L1-L2-N, where 220 between L1-L2 and 127 between L-N. Here i see it. But for working like this it must have L1-L2-N 7kV at input. And i see only one phase cabel with grounded braid. I dont understand how we can get two phases at the output.
@@jmuller86 I look forward it! I do nearly the same work you do in North Carolina and really appreciate your attention to detail and the quality of your work.
Hi Jess...the things I like about your videos are not just entertaining but also educational.you are a natural born teacher and innovative as well. Good luck with your projects and thanks for your good quality videos.
It is nice when the primary is a higher voltage, I am at the end of a run just about and it is stepped down we used to have so many issues when we ran the big pump motors. Now it is just residential on the run and it stays nice usually 122-124 VAC. When the neighbor turns on their pump you can still tell sometimes the drop and brown out is sad. I did electrical for equipment rooms and res panels and I just followed what that inspector wanted. I kept a card with notes for each inspector in the area because they did not agree on things. Just easier to give them what they wanted. Nice video.
Jesse as always awesome detail and explanation. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along. Keep them coming and I would be interested in additional electrical vids when time permits you.
Hey Jesse. Just want to say thanks for the info and for your philosophy on life. Really appreciate your approach to contracting, projects and life in general. Imma get an electricians cert and license. It just makes sense. Thanks brother!
These videos are awesome man. I really like these long format videos that show the whole process. Alot of things on CZcams involving construction work are condensed and dont so the process justice. There is only a few guys on CZcams I can think of who do anything like this. I really hope this inspires other contractors.
thanks. short videos will probably never be my thing.I dont post often but I think I get a better response when I finally do. weeks of editing go into some of my videos..like this one
Good job! I would like to see more electrical. I did my own hose including the underground service 21 years ago. There's been a lot of changes since. The electric field is always changing.
Man I'm glad I found your channel. Awesome videos. Detailed and informative and fun to watch. Some of the best I've seen. It's cool to see all you can do with your mini excavator. A friend is trying to talk me into buying a bigger excavator. It's obvious from watching you I can do all I need to do with one like you have. You do great work and I'm learning from you. Thanks.
Thanks. I have made hundreds of thousands of dollars with my mini. Its easy to transport and still makes $100-$125 /hr all day long. Big machines are great for big jobs but a pain to move and parts are expensive
I think you are wize to not restricting yourself to one thing in your working life. In truth I think I can safely so I've had two dozen types of jobs or interest. In many parts of Australia. I'm retired now and wouldn't change a thing, I'm having a great life. Very much enjoyed this video and learned a lot.
And yet here most of the time, my mid twenty year old able bodied children of mine won't even bring my trash cans in from the road for me !!! But here you are helping out your Dad with this fairly BIG job for him ... Nice work Jesse...
I might have been like that when i was 20, I am 33 now though . I think the education system has failed our generations and all the generations after. I am going to be homeschooling mine after some recent bills that are going through right now
@@jmuller86 my 4 boys are a long story... they wanted to live with their mommy, since I have RULES in my house, b4, during, and after divorcing her.... I picked the wrong woman to have children with, Hopefully mine are, coming around brain soon, and little by little ( helping me out some ) since they realizing their mommy protectiveness crap isn't working out to well for them in REAL LIFE ... But good luck to you... Kids are sometimes just a GRRRRR, PITA, even when as they get older .... :)
@@proven6270 I hear you on that, kids now a days also spend too much time on electronics instead of going outside and in the woods to learn a few extra lessons.
@@jmuller86 That's certainly where me, and most of all my growing up friends spent ALOT of our time growing up when I was a kid... I took all of my kids out 4 wheeling when they were all growing up... HELL I'm 50 now, and I'm still out riding my quads...!!! My 1 son just bought a Raptor last week, and keeps it here in my garage, So he's 1 that's slowly coming around... but yes on electronic stuff... even I played Nintendo and Atari tho...
I enjoyed watching the video !! would like see more like this !! but I enjoy all your videos !! very well done !! just keep them coming !!!! thanks for sharing !!
Hi Jesse, thank you for the new video, it was really educational as well as entertaining. I was astonished to see that you used aluminium cables from the transformer pad to the meter/breaker panel. Before I have never seen aluminium cables used for house electrification. Here in Germany copper cables are used 99% of the time. The 360° scene around 33:30 had me laughing since I was reminded of Guido from the Cars movies.
Glad you talked about conductor size, distance and voltage drop. You finished up with a nice clean job. I hate coming on to a new project and having to deal with someone else's garbage/trash.....I'm sure you grumbled a bit...I know I would have.
Geez, Jesse, when I saw the run time and topic I wasn't sure I could stay with it. I have to agree with one of your other commenters, you do a terrific job of explaining...even for someone like me who will never need this information...well, you never know!
thanks, I guess I never realized that I could explain good. My voice comes out weird on camera. but if you guys like it then I will keep on doing it, but only the important stuff
You guys do everything so differently than here in Europe, but it's interesting to see how you do it in this detail. Keep up the good work and good videos, you'll soon have plenty of subs ;)
YEARS AGO I DID ELECTRICAL WORK, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF DIFFERENCES FROM CZcams, THE COAXIAL POWER WIRE WAS PRETTY INTERESTING, THE EXPANSION TUBES KILLER IDEA
Patrick Wilson : LOL you had me thinking back on AC’s explanation saying he played with a massive boulder at age 7 with a block and tackle in back yard......I know tongue in cheek....😭
Excellent. Local PSGE on long island ny told me I could direct bury 13.8kv 4 ft down on commercial 3 phase. I put in conduit anyway. I set transformer vault and pad with Lull fork lift. Sand here soft but still dangerous. I gave same machines Yanmar and New Holland lol 🤣
I'm surprised you didn't get A C with his excavator or dozer to help you move that boulder! Excellent job and I would like seeing more videos like this. Thanks.
Jesse my friend, If you Have never moved big boulders like that before is pretty hard to imagine how heavy they are, but the way we do It is we go get an old car hood, the older the car the better, and will slide the boulder up on the car hood and use that as rock Skid. They are a whole lot easier to move around that way. If you can't find a car hood you can actually use about anything you just want it to turn up on the leading edge.
Good video, Jesse! I wish I'd had this when I built my work shop a few years ago (pre-Larry and CZcams. LOL). Very thorough, well illustrated and "novice-friendly". Your videos are always excellent! Oh, BTW, I passed the code inspection the 2d time, with the help of a friend who had just finished his journeyman quals.
Jesse, when I worked in a power plant (15 years) we stepped up our voltage to....138000 volts. 13.8 KV off the generators to a step up transformer (10X) to 138KV Keep up the good work.
In Florida where I am you can't get Temp. power, you have to use a generator to build the house, you get your power hook up after you get your CO. a real pain. Nice job Jesse, and that big Rock you had to move, you should have call Andrew to blow it up, lol
the power company will make you pay for a temp service here unless you have all the permits for the house and are starting to build it. but this pedestal is permanent
Next piece of equipment needed is a jack hammer for the excavator, it would have made quick work of the rock. Never knew you where a electrician, good skill to have in that area. You and Andrew live like frontiersmen being from the Adirondacks area. Beautiful area of the country, hard living, but very rewarding if raising a family.
retired master here, you did well on explaining it , so novice will understand it. like all your work it was well done,
I'm sure your dad is proud you bring so many skills to the job. Thanks for sharing.

Hello fellow Green county guy. Building a house in Catskill and this video helped me a lot!
I live in catskill but this property is in earlton
awesome video! appreciate the information!!!
Another brilliant video. When I first saw that rock I thought this is either a job for Andrew or Dynamite, Dynamite being the safer option 🤣
Patrick Wilson : LOL you had me thinking back on AC’s explanation saying he played with a massive boulder at age 7 with a block and tackle in back yard......I know tongue in cheek....😭
Drill a row of holes across the middle of it and fill with water - the ice will crack it.
or the bigger escavator would of made kids play of it.
Excellent.
Local PSGE on long island ny told me I could direct bury 13.8kv 4 ft down on commercial 3 phase.
I put in conduit anyway. I set transformer vault and pad with Lull fork lift.
Sand here soft but still dangerous.
I gave same machines Yanmar and New Holland lol 🤣
Number 2 tin solid fir ground s. Cad welded to rods...It’s over kill..but it’s sweet for radio interference...phone n cable line s lov it...

give that p.t. a coat of dark green, blends it into the environment and adds life. p.t. doesn't hold up like it used to. nice video

Of all the "Blue Collar" trades, Electrician is the cleanest. You get one "gofer" and makes it even more clean. Lol
Good video, thanks Jesse. Jim.
Jesse i am a Geodisic Dome builder. love to see you and your fathers work.
Outstanding video. Mayor! USMC, 86-90.
In Florida where I am you can't get Temp. power, you have to use a generator to build the house, you get your power hook up after you get your CO. a real pain. Nice job Jesse, and that big Rock you had to move, you should have call Andrew to blow it up, lol
the power company will make you pay for a temp service here unless you have all the permits for the house and are starting to build it. but this pedestal is permanent
Very informative ! thanks for sharing this
Great job very informative
Nice video Jesse, thanks!
Great idea using two 4x4 same thing I do
By far , the most talented guy on you tube.
thanks, I have even more interesting things I do, last year was alot of excavation but this year has alot of diverse projects coming up
Next piece of equipment needed is a jack hammer for the excavator, it would have made quick work of the rock. Never knew you where a electrician, good skill to have in that area. You and Andrew live like frontiersmen being from the Adirondacks area. Beautiful area of the country, hard living, but very rewarding if raising a family.
yea I do need a hammer. yea i love the area, just not the governor
@@jmuller86, We have a tool for a Governor also here in Ct !
