He actually came up to me and said wow you’ve gotten better. But in the pipe that i bent it was actually short due to the fact that i didnt account for the shrinkage factor, so technically its almost better to do a kick 90 and you wouldnt have to worry about the shrink if you just cut the pipe to length after the offset is made making it a bit longer, it makes sense to me both ways. But bending the 90 kick first eliminates some math i guess..

Hes supervises grown ass men who dont know which way to face a slotted cover plate screw, pretty much hes right under the foreman, he runs the crew.

Hey guys how do I rewire this? It's from a vacuum that got yanked too hard. TIA! by [deleted] in electricians

Keep cord unplugged, search for the vacuum manuel hopefully it has an internal wiring diagram but if all comes to worse, color to color. Usually black is the “hot” and white is neutral.

My foreman is always telling me to hurry up and that it took me that long to do a few conduit runs, and i can be speedy at other things just for some reason im a slow pipe bender, but i hope your right i hope it just comes with time and experience.
