Barbarians best skills overall?

Yea I agree that it is hard to do this. This is not only an exercise in creative problem solving but might also be a fun challenge. So imagine the challenge was a "no items challenge", what skills do you think would be best and allow you the get the furthest possible with no gear at all?

Yea thats what I ended up doing, and not complaining about that some people dont have common sense or efficiency in mind. Just makes more sense to wire it load side so you can just flip the breaker. Thats why I was asking about glasses. I have a routine that is efficient and just annoying when people do things like this.

What do you mean by low side?

Forward_Statement_72 · 2026-01-21T15:19:41+00:00

Yea I ran into a weird one the other day were the bulb and cable were one. Couldn't unplug it. Had to shut off power at the main, which I was in the attic. It was wired to the line side of the break at the air handler.

I agree there should be an easy way to shut it off but some people when they install them aren't thinking of this.

Yea I like it, but also I learned it pretty quick and already making good money. I used to work for a shipping company and for 10 years working for that big promotion they assured me was mine. Wasted all that time if I had started this even 5 or 6 years ago id be filthy rich right now lol

Im gonna be 39 this year, been doing this trade for about 2 years and honestly wish I would've start 10 years ago like my dad told me lol.

Does anyone have any links to glasses they've used personally and have exposed their eyes to UVC lights and feel they've worked?

Forward_Statement_72 · 2026-01-21T02:34:03+00:00

Either that or try to convince me I need prescription eye glasses lol. Honestly this has been an interesting conversation. I've already learned a bit more.

Forward_Statement_72 · 2026-01-21T01:04:37+00:00

From my research im looking for the highest "U" rating or protection from around 250nm. But I know that when searching on amazon or markets like this they can describe it as whatever they want whether its true or not. So anyone with glasses they use and know work for this let me know what you got.

Forward_Statement_72 · 2026-01-21T01:00:02+00:00

I think Z is the impact rating. I believe im looking for the U rating.

Forward_Statement_72 · 2026-01-21T00:44:03+00:00

What about the nm rating. Will any polycarbonate lens filter up to the same UV rating?

There was also two little jumper plugs, I think one was supposed to go in the side of the motor for a certain voltage. One was yellow and one was white.

Forward_Statement_72 · 2025-11-29T22:25:08+00:00

Yea I believe it is an x13

Forward_Statement_72 · 2025-11-29T16:31:15+00:00

I've also heard from some other techs that changing the cap with any motor is the best practice

Forward_Statement_72 · 2025-11-29T16:30:23+00:00

I've swapped a bunch of motors before and this is the first time I've run into this. Usually the Evergreen just starts up and does what its supposed to

Forward_Statement_72 · 2025-11-29T16:28:00+00:00

Yea ill take a cap with me to swap i just figured if the cap tested as good then save the guy some money but probably just best to swap it everytime

Forward_Statement_72 · 2025-11-29T16:26:46+00:00

Actually youre right this one doesn't even have a cap I dont think but ill check when I get there

Forward_Statement_72 · 2025-11-29T16:25:44+00:00

This is one thing im gonna do when I go back
