    One of the best gentlemen to watch, hands down, about the ins and outs of wiring outlets and switches correctly. The delivery, instruction, and information provided is very detailed and extremely easy to follow. Great job Chris!
  • This is the most professional,easy to follow video. Sir I hope YouTube sends you an award for teaching like a father would to a son. ❤
  • @jeffdroubay4636
    Absolutely the clearest, most comprehensive video on the topic. Kudos, Dad.

    Thank you for making this great instructional video , I’m 76 and not done with doing anything on my own, but I do need a little help. This is just what I need to safely wire a switch to a light then connect to a outlet. Sometimes a takes a few reviews to make it all sink in to this old head, thanks, Chuck
  • @csrboltfan2643
    The first option is exactly what I needed to know. THANK YOU for explaining it down to my level.
  • Thank you Chris! I was able to watch your video with my new switch/receptacle combo in my hand. I followed along with the video and because of your excellent instructions I will be now be able to install this type of switch too. I watched a previous video about adding an outlet to an existing one. I installed one per your directions, and it works perfectly. Senior ladies can do these types of things with the help of a great instructor like you! Thank you, thank you! ❤
