They should add a wildcard mode where the client comes in to watch over your shoulder

@tommymack3210 3 года назад

😂😂 and asks questions on why you did this

@Leaptab 3 года назад

The funny thing is I know this is annoying but considering the incompetents of the electrician that installed my solar, I'm doing him a favour by rectifying all his mistakes that would have cost thousands worth of damage. The guy even contradicts the wiring that the manufacturer shows in an instructional video, he refuses to even watch a one minute video and rather is 10% sure the battery is faulty.
