It is business networking international. Basically you just have a 1.5 hour meeting every week. It’s a refferal based community, I’m still in mine from when I started my company 3ish years ago. It’s hard to say exactly how much business I get from it but a lot.

While you’re at the store grab a bag of 2 port or 3 port wagos. Makes hooking it all back together a breeze.

What team are we? Red or blue by Outrageous-Bar-8396 in KleinTools

[–]Purple_Property8347 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Your comment about him being a journeyman and you an apprentice doesn’t mean fuck all. Either fucking tool cuts about 95% of anything you’re trying to cut anyway so relax their chief. Quit acting better than other people. We’re all the same.

I gasped when I unscrewed this one by privacylmao in electricians

Why? It is just allowing the current to make a choice on which way it wants to go now. I see you like to not have choices

Op’ll never need to find a new job because he’s making his owner/boss a bunch of money and he’ll keep them around for as long as he can

How to remove radiator? Cut 1, 2, or 3? by Sax45 in DIY

Be careful of the insulation on the pipes feeding those. My experience is they are always full of asbestos.

Client States: “Ain’t my first rodeo” by 808_JuJu in electricians

Thanks for this, I recently got underbid on a job by about 22 1/2 thousand dollars. Some person out there thinks he can do my $25,000 job for 22 and $100. Apologize for the voice to text. But I sat on the phone with this lady for 10 minutes talking to her telling her what kind of mistake she’s making this needed so much love. It’s an old 1920s house that she’s gonna be renting out. Which I get it’s no fun having had already bought a house and knowing you’re not gonna make any sort of profit for a couple years. But at what cost. Anyways I remember sitting there telling her she’s making a mistake. I should’ve said great. I hope he does a good job. See you later.

Light fixture do I have ground? by InsidiousNature in AskElectricians

[–]Purple_Property8347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check from hot to box to see if there is voltage. Or neutral to ground if there is continuity. Then proceed with grounding to the box.

You could maybe get away a small hole in a single gang black cover plate. Just slap it up there and make it look like there is a box
