Hi,

I have a very small channel on youtube, I use a hero 9 camera. Go pro seems to be the most common way to film. Make sure you buy batteries, I have the original and a 3 pack, I haven’t had issues with battery life with 4 batteries, I have a basic Amazon accessories kit $50+/- and I seem to have issues with tripods as far as not destroying them, they have a tendency to get broken, but I buy the cheap $15 ones, I end up running them over or felling trees on them, etc. Keep in mind you will need some form of video editing, I use filmora 9, it’s as simple as they come. The other thing is editing time, it takes allot longer then one would think, and then you spend all these hours editing and get 20 views In a month, or you spend zero time editing a shorts video and it’s gets thousands of views. It is not predictable as to what will get views as odd as that sounds. Make sure you get the apps with it like tube buddy and youtube studio,, these can help with titles etc. Side note I never knew this…if your video is getting views,, but you shared it on here on fb or whatever and the people watching go to leave a comment or a like and they have to log in and don’t you get the view but no comment or like and when that ratio goes the wrong direction,, youtube slows down how much they reccomend your video due to inactivity or lack of engagement, basically you lose positions for the search. Double edged sword. Youtube is a grind, and this is an extremely niche audience, not to be a downer but it takes allot of time and allot more effort then I considered. I am definately not a techie person so it’s been hard for me to follow it, I’m getting it slowly though. Good luck with it.

That’s rough. NFPA 73 clearly states panel boards and distribution equipment shall not show signs of overheating, physical damage, or corrosion. Article 110 of NEC (echos this same sediment, in paragraph form) yes the melted wire was removed, however by doing that a bigger Hazzard has been created by covering up the problem. Circuit breakers have thermal relays inside, they are mechanical components, like anything mechanical they eventually fail. The most common responce is its still working. Problem with that is…it’s not that breaker long ago failed. Breakers trip for 2 reasons over current and fault current. Never should things melt, this means the thermal relay in the breaker is not working. Think of a car with no brake pads, if you never use or need the brakes you will never know they are not present or not working. Untill one day you do need them and it’s not working.

The wire appears to be #12. It’s waaay too much to type out but unless these 4 ac units are in a barbie house that circuit is completely overloaded and the likelihood of that being the only place the wire is melted is very low. Minimum is replace the breaker, best case is to add dedicated circuits for AC units as required, and have someone go through the circuit and verify connections throughout are not melted.
