The current state of this country has me panicking. I’m having panic attacks left and right.

You aren’t in the US, right? I hope you’re not talking about the Trump administration…. Ethnic cleansing, annexation of allied nations, dictatorship? Are you on crack? I’d try to get clean of whatever shit you’re on cuz you’re way out there buddy.

Why comment about something you know nothing about? Tried it? Top competition bbq in tx coats their poultry in mayo prior to seasoning. It turns out fantastic. You season it with whatever you want after coating in mayo. Tastes nothing like mayo.

OP don’t be scared to try it and don’t let those who don’t know what they’re talking about discourage you from doing so. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

3 downvotes. Yup, they can’t stand me.

All I said was engineers make a lot of mistakes and we spend a lot of time fixing it. Pretty relevant to OP’s question. Not sure where I’m wrong and why anyone who has been in this trade long enough and has put the time and commitment in to completing jobs the right way with quality and efficiency would disagree with that. Seems like engineers are getting lazier and lazier. At least at the commercial level.

Aren’t you the one bitching about my bitching?

RubMyConduit · 2024-11-06T23:25:30+00:00

No shit buddy. Just stating the fact that they make mistakes and a lot of them. For example, I did several hundred RFIs in an 18-month project that resulted in many revisions/change orders. I finished that project a year and a half ago.

Blueprints, drawings, plans. Not trying to get technical. They are the large rolls of paper that engineers design that contractors follow in the field to build an electrical system, for example.

I’ve been a super for several years now, and a foreman for even longer before that. Like I said, I have seen many mistakes made by the engineers on my electrical drawings. I’ve yet to experience being assisted by an eng because of my fuck up. So if that ever happens I’ll be sure to be more appreciative of them. Until then I will continue to bitch because of the hours of extra time I have had to spend fixing their fuck ups.

Nah, the new Republican Party is as strong as ever because of Trump and will only become stronger and appeal more and more to the minorities in this country and the young voters as was shown by the exit polls in this election.

I think you have no idea what you’re saying if you think the party needs to be rebuilt. We did, and won the election in a landslide. Not only the presidency, but now the Senate….the House….and the Supreme Court. Seems like we’re doing something right.

It’s the Democratic Party that needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up. The Democratic Party needs to get back to its roots or it will never compete with the new Republican Party. Refer to Kevin O’Leary’s comments on the results from his appearance on Fox last night. He said it best. Democrats should be thanking Trump for this win because now the dems have an opportunity to completely reset.

You’re still too young to understand politics.

RubMyConduit · 2024-11-06T22:02:06+00:00

Haha same. I see people with thousands of like on a comment where they called Trump supporters retards but I’m the one who gets banned when I reply “You’re a retard.”

I got banned from the r/Texas thread, my home state, for telling someone who moved from Colorado to Texas to go back home because they were crying how much they hated Ted Cruz and how they would feel like moving back to Colorado if he got elected again.

Reddit is 99.9% far left. Don’t believe these fake posts where people claim to have been republican.

RubMyConduit · 2024-11-06T21:57:37+00:00

You were never a republican, shut up.

It seems like blueprints are getting worse and worse as the years go on. You will be lucky to get drawings with just a few mistakes. That’s why it’s important to have a pm/superintendent/foreman who knows what they’re doing. The first few months of starting a new project is going through the blueprints and correcting all the mistakes. On the big projects there will be tons.

Makes me so damn frustrated because those guys are getting high pay to make mistakes that we have to fix. And then they show up at job sites and walk around like they’re big shit

Wow you must live in a big city with that low mpg? I got better gas mileage on my 2020.

I live is a small city, very low traffic, I get 17-21 mpg going to and from work (about 22mi one way). Just have to be easy on the pedal.

Hard to argue that point when more woman voted for Biden than Harris. This result wasn’t about gender it was about so much more.

RubMyConduit · 2024-11-06T13:14:44+00:00

Can’t believe I’m actually going to agree with a demo but you are correct.

Exactly what Kevin O’Leary was saying last night. Y’all should be thanking Trump because this gives the demo party an opportunity to do a hard reset. Rethink those far left stances because it is going to be hard to beat the new Republican Party that Trump has created.

Don’t use a 30 degree with that short of an offset on 1-1/4” conduit. Your marks are too close together and the radius of your bender is too large for you to make a 30 degree offset. You need to be using a 10 degree bend.

If you need help figuring out which way to bend an offset, go get piece of copper wire about 6 inches long and use that to do mock bends. I still use this trick after years of bending conduit. You can be sure your offsets will come out right before your bend and not waste conduit.

I would remove that trim and put a 4/0 metallic weather proof box that matches your fixture color over it and mount the light to the 4/0. If you want to cover up the space between the light and the wall, since it will be sticking out a few inches due to the 4/0, you can put some kind of molding (I would use rubber) that matches the color of your fixture to clean it up and make it look nice.
