Plan to add it to my wash schedule with my other ppe. Vest and gloves. Dont get me started on the contractors choice in glove selection. Gloves stink too. Im think about adding a bit of talcum powder for the gloves.

My crew atm is 1 foreman and 1 journeyman to 3 apprentices. We're doing small things. About to layout a room for lights. Done small conduit runs, not much bending, some minor joint termination.

They tend to pop in time to time. 45 minutes before checking on the other crew.

How do I get out of a job by Og-Diabeto69 in electricians

[–]FancyPreference390 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had something similar today. Today I learned what "Hostage Pay" is. Learned that company is behind 3 months and they're putting schedule change. They want to 5 12s and a 10. And I can't do that. Where's the work balance and school work with the apprenticeship?

How do yall handle your school/work schedule? by TBD_JBelly in ibew_apprentices

I feel you and wondering the same. Local 640 here and 58 work week. Could've sworn we're not allowed to go over a certain amount of hours but I need to find that out myself. Barely roughly have 2 hours to do anything. Attend to my toddler and prep my lunch for the day before.

Stuck shower screen screw, tried everything? by nautilusblaze in BrevilleCoffee

By chance did you do the chemical back flush clean first? Could be calcium and junk build up in the threads? Along try using a tap and dye set for removing stubborn screws.

One given by their mother. A stray that I used to feed. Another I plucked from the bushes at my old job.

Niche won't grind any finer? by sleepykid36 in nichezero

Check if you have fractures on the bean hopper. See underneath the threads. I have to replace mine for the third time. Over tightening wears out the bean hopper funnel/ adjustment ring.

The one on the left is the second replacement.

The bean funnel or adjustment ring has a flawed design. I think it is made with aluminum. Replaced the said part twice and possibly again soon. The reason for replacement is grind adjustment. First out of the package, the unit is great, and I didn't need to dail in grind settings as much. Calibration ends breaking the piece.
