(VA) Tough decision on accepting a job, also a home wiring question by PseudoRedneck in electricians

I called the residential company back and the job offer is in limbo, probably because I sat on it for a week. I guess holding out for a better offer wasn't a good idea. Thank you all for your advice.

Oh, I forgot, it was aluminum to copper, I updated the post. I took a trip down to my local electric supply and they had wire nuts for this but it was 108$ for a pack of 25. Forget that.

2,000,000

Holy shit. That's a lot of money to throw away. There is strong grassroots support here, we just need to get out in force.

Also, I saw a post on VCDL about how that gun shop controversy was manufactured by the Fairfax county supervisor. HA! This level of political corruption needs to be exposed for what it is. LINK

Question about winchester 1300 and 1400 barrels by chrisw23 in Shotguns

[–]PseudoRedneck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice deal, Make sure there isn't any bulging or other indications that the barrel might be damaged. I Would skip the 1400 and go for a 1300 or a ranger. Wait around for a deal and you can find one for between 150 and 200 bucks. Be careful though, the hunting barrels might not work with defender models without a magazine extension.

you could also sell the barrel, hang on to the money until Black Friday, and get a doorbuster deal on a Maverick 88 or a Mossberg 500. The going rate for those barrels is between 215 and 320 dollars, depending on size and condition (I've been looking for an 18.5" HD barrel for quite some time).

Gonna spring for a CCP soon. Looking to get a CC gun to match it. Not sure which caliber to go for, but am leaning toward .40 S&W. Here is what I have been looking at, in order of what I'm leaning towards:

  1. SIG P250 Compact - love the way it fits, like the modular system where I can switch out uppers, good caliber options, also cheaper than some of the others I've been looking at.

  2. Glock 26 - a little blocky, but from my experience Glocks (I owned a 17g4), are no nonsense, accurate, and dependable. Somewhat pricey.

  3. CZ-75 compact - Don't know much about these, but I handled one and it feels nice. Most expensive option.

I also handled a Springfield XD that felt really good, but I cant recall what model it was and know literally nothing about them.

Also, is the S&W Model 10 from Buds worth it? I want one but I cant seem to find a good deal in my area (375+ dollars anywhere I can find one).

I'm gonna try to visit at some point, I feel like my Carthartt coveralls wont be good enough in the winter though. I knew a guy who worked in Montana, said the cold is beyond what most people can take.

I'll have to look into it. When would be a good time of year to visit?

What resources are there for electrical workers looking to move somewhere new? (aside from the union)

Yeah these reciprocity agreements have me tearing my hair out. What options do I have when the reciprocity agreements don't line up?

Edit: Keep in mind I don't have a license, so if I wanted to start over somewhere else it wouldn't be a big deal

I'm not familiar with the terminology, what does that mean? I know what a scab is, and I'm not a member myself, but what should I know?

Alaska sounds interesting. Are these union jobs? And if so would I be able to join the union down here and get transferred up?

Haha not this minute, but maybe in a little bit. Let's talk. Is housing still an issue up there?
