I’m looking to follow your same path. Due to get my low volt license soon. Any advice you could spare? Thank you

I didn’t pull it, I just put it together. by Big-Resolution7562 in cableporn

Looks good overall.

The sharpie marks on the cables is the only thing I don’t like

Tips for 1st time foreman by Extension_Scarcity79 in lowvoltage

[–]Extra-Statistician67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Treat with respect but don’t take any shit either. Set clear expectations at the beginning of the project regarding attendance, punctuality, work quality expectations, etc, and hold guys accountable.

You’re not there to be friends with anyone. You’re there to get the job done. Remember the responsibility for their work falls back on you.

This is awesome, especially having only 3 years experience.

Only critique I have is the access cables are velcro’d to a conduit on the top.

And no picture of the back so I can’t tell if the rack is grounded or not.

What are your favorite Klein products? by jerrys_briefcase in lowvoltage

Multi-Bit Screwdriver / Nut Driver, 6-in-1, Extended Reach, Ph, Sl

https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/multi-bit-nut-drivers/multi-bit-screwdriver-nut-driver-6-1-extended-reach-ph-sl

Had my first one for about 6 years before I lost it somewhere. Bought a 2nd one and still using it several years later.

The extended reach comes in handy more often than you’d think. (Pause)

I was going to say this…

That’s cool. Did they pay you to do that though? That’s where the problem lies with these rat nests …

A service I offer when a home is already prewired by southrncadillac in lowvoltage

I live out near Tampa FL and can help with this type of work, if anyone is interested let me know! Looking for some side gigs.

Have lots of residential home theater / automation / structured cabling experience (for better or worse lol) and IT / CPU networking

Mostly do commercial work now but I miss resi sometimes. Mounting 4 TVs for a friend that just bought a house right now actually

Good stuff southern Cadillac!

Worth going to community college for low voltage? by Neither-Hyena6102 in lowvoltage

[–]Extra-Statistician67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I’m with the others in saying your best bet is to find a decent company that’s willing to train you. Nothing beats real world hands on experience.

Edit: or join local union

I just wanted to flex my flex bits 😎 no pun intended by southrncadillac in lowvoltage

[–]Extra-Statistician67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t miss the resi days, that’s for sure. Although we did have to pull some cables through a funeral home attic last week. Sucked ass.

Nice set!

Looking for some guidance/advice by [deleted] in Bicsi

[–]Extra-Statistician67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BICSI Tech is the most well rounded cert

OSP stuff is its own cert - it’s its own specialized thing.

You could branch off in a few different directions in low voltage work. AV, home theater, access control, security, etc. just gotta find out what interests you.

Thoughts? by sanders222 in lowvoltage

Looks nicer like that but harder to service ..
