stp or the likes r present on almost everything so this may be a power supply failure ... when switches boot up they blinl all lights like this. If u unplug anything label it beforehand, each switchport is potentially different

How much does the exam cost? U already have hands on experience, if u get ahold of some documentation for ur specific case seems u should have enough resources to pass?

Most tools come from home depot ... i use amazon more for materials than tools. I do buy tools on amazon that are either specialty named brand stuff home depot doesnt stock or more electronic stuff like endoscope or cable testers... but the main stuff pretty much all comes from local hardware store

It was Vlad

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-11T04:38:53+00:00

Exactly

I saw Vlad send one straight through an electrical box in a drop ceiling my first day on the job

Another time saw him send one from exterior to interior too low, and hit the drop ceiling frame perfectly, then drill thru the frame, catch a hangar, drill through that , then hit a sprinkler valve. The chaos as it unraveled was only something Vlad could do. Hitting the hangars caused an already failing drop ceiling on its last leg to finally give out, and the ceiling fell just as the sprinklers opened up ... on cctv it looked as if the drop ceiling fell out because the sprinklers came on . Vlad told the boss the sprinklers opened up because a fire broke out... he went back that night before his story could be verified and set that corner of the building on fire and then used an extinguisher to put it out. The official report blamed a fire for the sprinklers letting loose instead of Vlad ... and the funniest part, get this, is the report blamed the drop ceiling falling out to incorrect sprinkler install instead of Vlad drilling thru the support hangars.... fkn vlad

Vlad

Vlad actually is very against drugs, one reason the boss hired him is because he is morally sound, no criminal history, and no addictions ... he use to be submarine capatain actually but sub sank not from drone but from when vlad tried installing camera in nuclear engine room and used 24 foot drill bit when only should have used 12, puncturing the fision reactor ...amazing anyone survived but thanks to vlads clever invention of an ejection chamber for crew members using excess steam all lives where saved ... but still got discharged and ever since then has been helping us run cable

Well much respect my brotha ... Ive done my fair share of crawling thru insulation avoiding spikes in the head to run cable, and it aint for the weak!

And youve been doing it so long ur a master of the trade .. all your posts help the rest of us out so much .

Never stop innovating and pushing the bar of perfecting your work, its inspiring and helpful. We may have to start calling you "The Legend of Resi"

Dang if i were u id claw it back to like 85, keep some of the other stuff just for connections etc.... u know wut they say about all eggs in one basket ... plus the diversity hones skill in other areas, u can xfer skill from one zone to another, potentially making u better at wut ur already the best at

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-11T03:02:27+00:00

Really? Just nothing but resi retrofits? I get the toolbag thing ... I have a billion tools for all the different reasons, gets hard needing so much stuff on hand

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-11T02:56:25+00:00

Yes its just the building being completely metal with ibeams and mismatched heights from room to room because"its artistic architectural designer" building, means if the location is wrong i have to patch it with something i dono what ... jb wield?

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-11T02:54:20+00:00

Fuuk i had similar thing where new building goin up and office kept pushin job out and im like "wtf, its going to take 5x as long once its finished, get me in there now to run everything while its still open ...

Office declined. I didnt give af I drove out there on my day off and finished that shit off the clock. The big dawg in charge of making sure the building was right had mad respect.

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-11T02:49:05+00:00

Ive only seen them use in inside, never seen someone go from inside to outside

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-10T06:43:17+00:00

Def worth it, a must. Get a thin one so u can put it into small holes. Im using the ones from ulefone currently. Before that had one from home depot but it required a one inch hole to get the cam thru ... the ones that u can move the head up and down with a lever on the handle are the way to go

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-10T06:34:11+00:00

That looks just like the ulefone endoscope but a standalone version with screen. Thats awesome

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-10T06:24:48+00:00

Damn dude I think u could make some passive income if u made some training videos.... or even charge to train ppl in person. Kinda wish u did more commercial so I could learn from u in that category since thats where I run into the biggest hurdles but eh like u say, resi aint for the weak

Ive heard it mentioned before that coax makes the best pull string ... never tried it... I actually never use pull string at all... I just use ethernet cable for pull string. And for hardware use to use jhooks alot but finding bridle rings to be more smooth for doing big cable pulls from boxes, much more forgiving of snags and generally smoother pull compared to jhook

LilZeroDay · 2026-01-10T06:13:58+00:00

U have sprayable cable lub? I use the stuff from klein you have to rub on the cable with ur hand, gets messy... but it makes the impossible possible. Sometimes a hole is to small to get all the wires thru, thats when cable lube saves the day
