    This guy is running his business off grid by the way. No electric hookup from the city. Running on solar and batteries only. The solar panels are on top of all those containers.

    If you do that "off grid" job in the desert, you should do a YouTube video series.

    Well, you're one of those with a sense of adventure and not afraid to try it. So far, so good.

    It'll be good. I'm going to take some of this advice and really do thorough inspections and not be afraid to say NO

    You're like a chick that dates a bad boy and is convinced that she can change him.
    This guy has been doing things the wrong way for a long time.
    He ain't changing his ways just because you red tag some trailers.
