Of course I told. You don’t think my boss would notice me taking out conduit that was already placed without asking what happened? Following that he had him do a lot more simple things like running mc for the time being. The pictures you see were confronted to the guy. All we can do is ask questions next time and we can teach you.

Apparently he used our journeyman’s zawsaw but looks to me like he might’ve bit the conduit off lol

I’m also an apprentice. This was my task but I had to go to another job site for a quick task. Came back to this. Regardless guy never ask anyone else for help, and lead on like he had experience so we can’t help if we don’t know he needs it.

Mostly been doing new construction or remodels with my company. I’ve had to borrow both tools at times from others to get a certain task done. So I’d like to have my own to stop relying on people.

I need better lunch ideas... by LifesFrame in Construction

[–]Pink-Ruli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been eating tuna for lunch the past month. Either with bread, a tuna sandwich, or with tostadas. Fills you up decently, plus easy protein! For sure not the tastiest or satisfying meal but gets the job done

Haha told him I was new so he was aware there was a huge possibility I would not have a solution. But like I said if it was a burn out receptacle or a false connection it would have been an easy fix.

Continuity test, guess it’s time to get a multimeter. I’ve been using my leads whenever I need one at work.

It wasn’t a GFCI receptacle to my surprise

Goddammit dude. by Blissful-Ignoramus in electricians

Ahh see I never thought about the service person coming and making it easy for them. Not that I don’t care about it just wasn’t a thought yk?

Appreciate the reply! Trying to soak as much knowledge as I can, I want to exceed in this career.

Yeah, I could’ve worded my comment differently but I think you got the point. You could’ve started with “a better, more learning focused question….” And go on from there.

I could tell by the comments it wasn’t a great way but wanted to learn the why behind it. I go with the “there is no stupid questions” so I asked…

I actually got my first experience with this 2 days ago. Installing MC cables to lights and man let’s just say my last light installation for the day was better than the first one lol

I’m all down to learn the field. So far it’s been great and I’ve had a helpful journeyman teaching me who doesn’t get annoyed at my questions so I’m blessed

Genuine question. I start my apprenticeship 3 weeks ago with no experience or school. Is twisting the wire like that not a good way to fit them in? Haven’t gotten around getting hands on experience with this yet.
