Transcript:
With me? Wow, on this early morning day, what I'm trying to do is help my wife put together an incubator. You're like, oh, this is a refrigerator. Looks like. It is, we're going to change a refrigerator, that has a glass door, into an incubator. Or at least try to do that. We have an incubator, warehouse kit, and we've got to provide through the wall into the inside to fans slash heaters.

There's two of them. This is not a fancy kit, but we're going to try and see if we can make it fancier, way bigger incubator than what she had. So the first thing I would do is drill in the center. Because that's where the temperature gauges and controls are. I'm using a half inch bit.I don't know if it's good enough.

We're going to see I think it might be. So this control with another one goes on the outside. If the wires are longer, I would probably locate it towards the top. But because the wires are not very long, there's two fans for such a big incubator. I have to put it toward the center and I'll have to put a applied for it to hang on so she can see it.

But these wires need to go inside and control the fans. And since the hole is not big enough for both them at the same time, I've got to get it through one at a time. And there's a little bit of room for the little timer that we're talking about putting in.

"And we'll have heater probes, too, when the new heater comes in or when a new thermometer comes in."

Okay. So this is the cord that plugs in this is going to be here. I'll try put a piece and I'll have to make a piece of metal. Bend it and stick it out. I'll show you when I do that. But right now, this is the incubator where I start, come into your kit and these are both heaters and fans.

"We will..."

At the same time go ahead.

"We will leave links in the description to where we got these. We also plan on later doing a different type of kit, more of a do it yourself kit in case you can afford the really expensive I mean, but these weren't really expensive. They were a $125 for the basic and two heaters and then $20 total for the egg turner kits and the egg turner. We're just going to use old egg turners. There you go, I'm done."
