    A bit of advice on the spool stands: Make your roll unroll from the bottom not the top...it helps keep the center of gravity lower on the stand to keep it from falling forward.

    I was thinking of a pilot episode of a series, ie the first one. Other explanations that the smaller hole 'pilots' the bigger one make sense too. Interesting that it is an established technique, i retrained to be an electrician recently (in belgium) and couple week ago i used it without having been taught or explained:) Seemed like a prudent thing to do, instead of jamming the big one through right away. Didn't know about the angled drilling, that was nice to see. Hope there's plenty more Reuben teaching moments that we can all benefit from!

    Have u seen the charging stations in Denmark ( I think but defo a Scandinavian county) where they swap the car battery in a few min rather than recharge them .

    I believe the use of pilot is from the person who steers the small boat that guides larger ships into, and out of, ports. This person is called a pilot, and I assume the use of that term for initial drill holes was that they are used to guide the larger drill bits.

    Interesting video as always Jordan. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 You really are making great strides with the renewables and prosumer side of things. One tip, ideally you should address that damaged base because in a harsh winter that damaged plinth will fail under freeze and thaw elements ( has happened to me twice) potentially leaving you with a hanging live charge point. Better to do it now before you get it up and running as it maybe a pig later having to put the charge point out of use imo.
    Keep up the good work.

    I need to know how Corey gets his hair to stay how it does. Mine just falls down and I can't get anything to work!

    I would have arranged to have someone inside with a hose at the ready, so when Reuben drilled through and you took him outside to look- they stuck the hose in and turned it on full bore- cue overacting 'On no, what have you done!!!!'
    But then I have a warped sense of humour.... ;-)

    Cory looks like he is well versed at pulling his cable in the corner @17:46.

    Re clipping cables not being skilled, any spark that has worked in shipyards would disagree. When I was in my first year in the training centre, as an apprentice spark, in H&W shipyard in Belfast, there was a lot of effort put into teaching us how to work out cable runs so that the job looked neat, as almost all cabling was on the surface. This meant we had to think about which cables would be going the furthest, so they would be on the bottom, we had to ensure the cable would be on the correct side of the run for dropping off at branches, etc. Bear in mind, we used single core cable for lighting & power (220V) circuits, so there could be a lot of cables in a given run, depending on where it was. We also had to learn to use a stud welding gun, as these were used to attach the clips for the cable (which we also learned how to make). No cable band or slotted tray for us!

    So how does "Sending electricity back to the grid" work - e.g. you've got low voltage DC. You're trying to shove it in to mains voltage three phase 50Hz AC.
    Surely the only way to do this would be by way of a DC Motor, a phase aligned rotary generator, and some incredibly complicated servo equiptment to monitor the grid and keep the generated backfeed perfectly aligned? An inverter could never create a smooth enough sine wave for grid supply backfeed.

    It is called a pilot bit because it is the furst bit that go through
