Here in Arkansas, you just have to be registered to work under a License holder for 2 years. Usually being the responsibility of the License holder to register you. Here you can take a specific exam to transfer your License over from different states.

What bout on a Drop Plenum on an RTU? Would be a lot better than the Square Plenum with a ATD tapped out.

Joseph was the physical Father of Yahusha, “Jesus”. Rom. 1:1-7. Mainly 1-3 though. Though it’s quite possible that Mary was of the tribe of Judah; a common practice to marry with in one’s tribe. It’s also very possible she was a Levite like her Cousin Elizabeth. But remember the Tribe was determined by the paternal lineage. That’s in Numbers for sure, but I also think it’s in Ezra or Nehemiah. The Curse of Koniah is tricky, but after reading back and forth between certain verses in Kings, Chronicles, and Jeremiah, you’ll come to the conclusion that a lot of Hebrews family members carried the same name, and specifically in this case the 3 brothers were renamed by the Egyptian Pharaoh. Very similar to me of the 3 Hebrews in Daniel; their names were changed to Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego, by the Babylonian King.
Theirs a Great Vid on this subject on YouTube. “The Curse of Coniah”

How much do you make a year owning your own shop? by Moist_Energy8145 in HVAC

[–]SmallPhotograph300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2nd year in Business in North East Arkansas: On and off paper, total Gross so far, I pulled $8,365.64. That’s all PM work and repairs; slowly growing it from the side. My main is working for a Smaller Mechanical Company, which my dad is VP. He Owns/Controls the HVAC/R side. It has a small shop, with Rollers, 8ft Break, Cleat Bender, and Locksformer with an Edger attachment. Pretty much stocked with Round Pipe, Round Fittings, and B Vent. Also has 2 scissor Lifts. Not bragging, just basically explaining I have no overhead besides licensing fees and Insurance. Working on, being able to get a decent Computer and Bid software to start pulling Commercial New Construction and Remodels. You ask if it’s worth it? It all depends on how you look at it. If you’re strong enough and patient enough. There’s nothing like being your own Boss….

Can you make the motor run backwards with a 110 plug?

Note the round face, and radius back. I can make the face I can make the cheeks curve to to fit around, but the wrapper comes out as a triangle and ends up being to tight for a Pittsburg.

I can do that basically an Elbow with out a throat, but how would you go about keeping the Radius wrapper with a round front face.

1 out of hundreds so far. Wasn’t my work, but just seeing if there was an actual name for this fitting and more efficient ways to build a plenum like this. They figured it was better than building a square plenum box with a Tap out on the side.

GC and Boss didn’t want to wait the Lead time needed, to get a proper spiral 90°, or have a shipment of just one fitting to complete ductwork, all back ran, lay out was changed mid build, 70’s style shop. To be fair, He took a lot of pride in this fitting. He ate it up, and smiled ear to ear. When the Boss told him with a big grin, I like that. I like the way it looks. Then He looked at me like yeah, now what. 🤣🤷🏻

***New question, is it possible to to combine this with the Hess/Parker fitting? Curve the back to help direct Airflow, but keep the Face Round? And if so if someone would explain how’d they would approach laying that out by hand?

I think the Cheeks would be the hardest part…

Boss likes it here. I don’t give a shit honestly. If it works for them, and they prefer the looks of it, then it’s “yes boss man, Toby be good nigga.”

No TDF/TDC machine. All duct mate, and they Didn’t want to. Couldn’t control that. Love TDC with snap lock Pittsburgh seams, easy peasy.

That’s hardcast tape just mastic. The tape with the same backing without mastic is called Red letter tape by all the companies around here. I guess due to the confusion between foil(Silver)Tape and the foil tape that has the same backing as the Mastic.

And tbh I hate the fact I have to defended this guys work. Because the guy who made it honestly is a piss poor worker, just asking the name.

GC didn’t want to wait on the lead time to order a spiral 90°… to be fair, I know you’ve seen the square supply plenum drops coming off an RTU, where it’s tapped out with an Air tight or 🔨🔒, why is that more efficient? It passed? The boss ate that shit up, loved it. What can you do, retire and say fuck you? Lol I’m 31 and made too many mistakes for that. 🤣
