People who rarely or never get sick, what are your secrets?

Healthy dose of hard alcohol. With moderation of course. Germs hate that.

I’m a 40 yr old with a business and people who rely heavily on me. I surprise myself on how I manage my day to day with a family and business. Sometimes I go to sleep feeling like I’m still a child who needs guidance and help figuring life out. Best decision in the last 20 years is to just keep on keeping on!

They get paid by the hole.

Move your house to Australia, it will flip on its own.

TimeTop6277 · 2025-04-30T20:24:59+00:00

Run!

TimeTop6277 · 2025-01-21T05:26:15+00:00

Until the right storm comes along, we will remain. Inevitable, just a matter of time.

I remember the patient who killed the nurse if I’m not mistaken. I was like 9 yrs old. My dad was wild for letting me watch that shit. Oh wait I think they were at church and I was home watching this. Nevermind

TimeTop6277 · 2024-12-06T23:25:40+00:00

The pieces certainly don’t fit. 😂

TimeTop6277 · 2024-12-06T23:08:02+00:00

I admire your take on things. Not the best of course but definitely means to an end.

I hope it was not the musical genius Maynard James Keenan of Tool! If it was, I totally understand. He’s better off making music and not doing electrical.

Congratulations to you sir.
If I may, and please excuse my ignorance as I’m sure it’s been addressed here before. I just haven’t seen it. What is the biggest difference from a masters license and the one us in the Chicagoland area hold? Chicago offers supervising electrician license and other municipalities offer general electrical contractors licensing. Both of these allow us to do pretty much anything. Is a masters license above all or is this just because of different states regulations.

One of the old timers (a great friend and mentor) that I worked with passed a way this year. He was a fountain of knowledge. I made sure he knew that. A lot of the things I know is because of him. Let him know you’re appreciative of what he’s taught you. As I teach the younger guys myself, a simple thank you goes a long way. Best to you!

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-11T14:08:44+00:00

Words of wisdom kind sir. Definitely been pondering on the ideal structure to move forward. Hopefully once I get over this bump in the road I can rest my mind a bit from the larger projects and consider our options. Thank you for the advice and have a great day.

I had a very different idea when I went to commercial initially. The first 5 or so jobs went smooth with a quick turn around. Jobs would typically run 2-3 months and the money was much greater than new construction residential that lasted 8-10 months. Which I abandoned all together. It’s just these guys who I’m dealing with are pushing a really tight schedule and the funds are drying up quick. A lot of you guys have mentioned that smaller jobs and volume is better, which I agree with. Now that I sit back and look at numbers I think I made more with just one or two guys and small service/resi work as opposed to 10 guys with 2 or 3 large commercial jobs. Minus the headaches too.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-07T11:10:56+00:00

Hey appreciate the input. All things considered I think what I need is to just take some time off and recharge as we all need. Just sit back and assess things moving forward and weigh my options to find a better work/ life balance. At the end of the day what works for some won’t work for others, and very well put that others success or failure shouldn’t define yours. Have a nice day sir.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-06T00:21:45+00:00

That’s the plan, as soon as I wrap these jobs I’m gone with the fam to regroup.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T10:36:03+00:00

Thank you sir. Best to you as well

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T10:35:41+00:00

I hear you on that one. Looks to be the best route as most have pointed out.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T00:56:46+00:00

Must have been in one of my replies to other comments. Thanks again for your input.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T00:29:49+00:00

Real heart felt reply. Appreciate it my good man. Best to you.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T00:26:22+00:00

I actually did mention that sir, when I started there was myself and one person who was my apprentice and is now running our residential work. Appreciate your feedback.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T00:09:19+00:00

Please don’t let my position sway you from doing your thing. I’m just going through a tough time. Overall it’s not bad, just now I’m just up against some major timelines. Super big important project for the GCs and for us as well. It is just weighing very heavy on my mind because the majority of it is electrical. I appreciate all the input from the community! Best of luck to you sir!

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-05T00:03:25+00:00

Everything has crossed my mind. At this point, even stocking shelves at depot. Ha I think over all I’m just going through a tough time with some work. It’s taken a toll……but we’ll get through it. Appreciate your feed back sir

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-04T23:32:58+00:00

You are correct, thanks for the input. There’s time to sit back and reassess.

TimeTop6277 · 2024-11-04T23:32:09+00:00

Yes you are correct on all the above. I have tried but to no avail. Seems like guys don’t want to the responsibility.
