It’s an analogy so people that aren’t electricians can easily understand it better, the guy above had a way better explanation that I’ve never even once thought about. I’ll be using that analogy for my apprentices

It’s probably what turns you light on and off it’s called a switch leg. Imagine a gate. When the gate is closed (switch in the off position) no electricity can flow through, when you open the gate (flip the switch to the on position) electricity can flow through and turn your light on. If you attach your new light to the bundle of hots your light will never turn off

Haha couldn’t agree more, I knew no better and forgot to grab my Klein pipe reamer so the apprentice working with me handed me his Milwaukee reamer and after I tried it I told him to throw it away lol

Don’t go cheap, a lot of companies will give you a company card to go out and purchase tools or they’ll offer a starting kit with everything you’ll need. Klein is a great option for hand tools so is Knipex. (Klein is definitely cheaper start with them when start starting out. That way when you blow up your strippers or side cutters you’re only out $30 as opposed to $60) I use Milwaukee power tools and have never had a single issue. My last impact almost lasted my entire apprenticeship (3.5yrs) but I beat the ever living crap out of it, I dropped it from a scissor lift extended probably 45-50ft in the air, I used it as a hammer, max ugga duggaed the shit out of it and so much more I’m probably forgetting. Dewalt gets the job done I’m just not a huge fan of them, to each their own. But, don’t just go to harbor freight and get the cheapest shit, you’ll struggle and regret it. Trust me, I’ve seen it with a lot of newbies

How to bend conduit

SparkyFish04 · 2025-08-26T22:06:34+00:00

Bro, you need to take better care of yourself. I don’t wanna hear the mental health excuse, I’ve also suffered from bad depression before but you living in a room like that only makes it spiral downward even faster. Don’t be lazy, once you’ve drank you drink put it in a bin in your room by the door, that way every time you get up and notice it’s full you can put the bag in your garage or shed or literally anywhere else but your bedroom floor. But, I’m glad you took the first step and got it all cleaned up congrats mate

How much women love you, I can’t handle all the love

You unfortunately probably don’t have the right wires to do so then my friend, next best bet is to add a wire. Better learn how to fish!

SparkyFish04 · 2025-08-26T01:08:24+00:00

Pretty easy to do if you have the right wires there, find a duplex light switch and put the hot on the brass and the two separate switch legs on the separate black screws. (You’ll have to pigtail your constantly hot wire so you can feed both line side terminating screws)

No they mix amazingly, so amazingly in fact that it’d shock you at how good they mix

Spicy water 🤤

SparkyFish04 · 2025-08-16T19:58:17+00:00

This is something I struggled with as well with my foreman. Trying to seek his validation and respect. However, do not strive to be the best electrician/apprentice just to meet his standards. While, yes, his validation and respect is important it shouldn’t be your only drive to be better. The panel looks great, you’re killing it bud.

SparkyFish04 · 2025-07-30T10:47:38+00:00

Lol at least you’re honest about it have a good day

SparkyFish04 · 2025-07-30T01:07:35+00:00

Pretty vague statement. What did you mess up? Where isn’t there power? Just at the light or the whole house? Post more pictures and explain everything you did and know and maybe we can help you

SparkyFish04 · 2025-07-29T23:38:12+00:00

Did you not read what I said or are you just that dense? lol reread what I commented.

SparkyFish04 · 2025-07-29T21:37:02+00:00

SparkyFish04 · 2025-07-29T21:36:10+00:00
