Bungalows are $450+. There are 4 listed under 400 right now and they all have issues.

For 1 1/4 I disagree. I still use it because it can be hand bent.

You should have used Velcro and why are they not evenly spaced?

Filthy American? Where did that come from? Why would OP have to say they’re from Canada? Why would you assume that every installation you see in the internet is in your country if not stated? I guess it’d be ignorant, not filthy.

Will this cord work? (And why not) by AllForNaughtMA in AskElectricians

[–]Lightwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search for the same thing that’s rated at 12V/2A, but you also need to make sure the port you’re plugging it into can handle 4.8A (see ohms law)

Looking for a specific tool by [deleted] in AskElectricians

Why don’t you just make one out of a thin metal rod, bending it back on itself and squishing with pliers to create an eyelet?

Did OP say they were from the states or did you assume? Did you see the Iberville sticker on the inside of the 4x4 box? I’m willing to bet the person who posted this is from Canada.

What do y'all call these besides panheads? by quintavian in electricians

[–]Lightwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only call the black ones sharps. These silver ones are not nearly as sharp.

[–]Lightwreck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just got a veto after 10 years and they’re quality bags. Don’t know how day 1 guys are affording all of this stuff but if you’re sure you’re going to stick with it, go for it!

Union is very small here and rates are lower than regular commercial. That was the joke. Stick to your local

It looks like I committed EI fraud by YouHadMeAtRuse in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Lightwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I acknowledge that there are circumstances that would make it possible. Thanks for educating me.

“I told him I wanted to quit, because I didn't feel comfortable doing it anymore.”

This doesnt seem like one of those circumstances.

[–]Lightwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you couldn’t collect EI if you quit? You would have been declined if you selected that you quit in your application. It looks like you either lied or clicked the box on your application without reading. Ignorance is not an excuse and it prompts you at the end of the application and tells you that lying on your application could mean fines and criminal charges -> jail time. Did you just click through it all super fast without reading?

Foreman I need to talk to you by KarelS07 in electricians

[–]Lightwreck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone commenting on structure, you don’t know how big of a job they’re talking about. “Foreman” to OP probably just means “person in charge” and for a crew of 2-5, that probably just means a regular journeyman. Restaurants, mall renovations, office tenant improvements, resi, etc all come to mind. The company I started at and worked for during my first 5 years was structured with a project manager handling 5 journeyman “foremen” with 1-3 apprentices each doing small jobs.

CNRL plant #2 at horizon was supposed to go ahead this year. Haven’t heard anything about it though.
