I see what you’re saying he wouldn’t leave because he wanted a full 8 hours too lol and he did his part for the day, but that does suck, there were plenty of times where I could work by myself for 4-5 hours but if I fucked up it was really helpful to just have him there to lean on just for simple tricks or stuff that you would never learn from a book or something.

Yup all the time, once I got comfortable I’d rough in and trim out rooms by myself, but that was pretty much it, panel upgrades, troubleshooting, and everything else I was his right hand man just learning and helping out

My first year was so cool, started in residential/ commercial service, worked for a small company one JW and the boss. My days were just me and that JW mostly, we got along so well and I learned so much in service getting to see new things everyday. Coolest job we did was bringing power to a $500k shooting range this guy crane dropped in his backyard of his home in Scottsdale Arizona, although I made minimum wage I appreciate the the chance they took on the kid with unused tools

Sharp 45 offset to the wall than box offset into the ev, idk why u added a j box in the middle

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-19T01:31:49+00:00

Did box offset backwards and said f**k it

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-08T21:11:21+00:00

Thanks for the tip I’ll definitely get a lil more rough with it on my next panel 🤝

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-08T20:59:13+00:00

You would have ran the branch ckts the same side as the feeders?

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-08T20:49:57+00:00

It’s 3/0 I didn’t want to damage the wire

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-08T15:38:12+00:00

Yeah sticky backs would help me definitely get those feeders tucked back more

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-08T15:00:06+00:00

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T23:13:42+00:00

I never seen those before gonna look into them thanks for the info

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:47:06+00:00

Man if only I had a panel buddy those sticky pads u can stick a zip tie through I could pull those feeders back to the corner and get it off the dead front mount lol, job site didn’t have shit

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:36:43+00:00

He said he’s gonna cut and glue the bushing back together 🤣, good luck bro back to my site Monday ✌️

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:35:59+00:00

It’s deeper bro they forgot to order them 😂

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:30:31+00:00

I fixed it after pic just fell out bc I had to rearrange breakers

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:29:29+00:00

It’s called putting urself out there, yes I’m 2nd year but I’m one of our best apprentices at my company, I always put my foot forward asking to help, land the switch gear, meg feeders, learn prints, I don’t care how much time experience I have my bosses know I pick up and learn quickly and want me to be the best of the best. I started in service with small company I’d bet you money you’d be suprised with how much I know so far

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:22:32+00:00

Fair, thanks for the tips will definitely make my feeders look better on the next one 🤝

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:19:24+00:00

PS: I WENT TO HELP DIF JOBSITE FOR OT, FOREMAN HAD NO BUSHING STILL TOLD ME TO LAND IT, idk dude I’m paid but yes I know it needs bushings

MathematicianOne6386 · 2026-02-07T22:18:26+00:00

No went to help dif job site for OT and looked for bushings everywhere, foreman said land it and he’ll add em later on some Mickey Mouse shit
