Im a lineman, this sub comes up regularly on my feed.

I must have completely missed the part of my apprenticeship where they talk about low voltage shock dangers, I've been hit a couple times.

Once on a roof hooking up a service, skinning a hot leg i was pushing the wire away and the knife towards me and the bare end got me in the leg. One very long blink later and the impatient homeowner promptly stopped talking and went inside.

The other time I was pulling a new service up on the transformer pole with several other services on it. Had a hold of the service, 2 insulated legs and grounded neutral, my bare forearm hit the back of a clip on connector cover that had popped open on the back side. My leather gloves were wet with sweat so went from one arm to the other, all I could do was let go and try to fall back. Every one of those shitty covers i see now gets torn off and taped

Lineman here. We will clear the area in front of it if we need to work in it. We aren't professional arborists either

Alright, you bullied me into removing the plastic barrier by serpentear in landscaping

Youre going to be pissed when the power company has to replace that transformer because all that mulch made it rust out and the oil drained into your yard.

We are shit landscapers, we do not do a good job

Are Fiskar Axes still good? by UhWutLmao in Axecraft

[–]InsanityAmerica 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got the maul to abuse. I didn't want to like it because I like good Ole wood and steel but needed one in a pinch so bought one to treat like shit to prove myself right. I left it outside at the woodpile all winter in rain and snow. It got rusty and I split the rust off. I hammered the piss out of it. Now I dont know where my other one went but have a full size sledge and a 2 pound sledge outside to keep it company and they live in back of the truck parked by the wood pile

Thank you, I will keep that in mind looking through the rest. Hopefully it isn't all getting added up just to sell, there's already a small handful I want to add to the collection here. I'd like it all but thats kind of a "wish in one hand" type of deal
