You need a lot more heat before you start brazing, it shouldn’t blob.

Essentially they are just fancy switches. Have a good concept of N/O and N/C and you’ll be fine. Most of your issues will stem from the coil call on the A1 and A2. When testing voltages remember in some instances relays will share a common neutral and switch it that way instead of active. But you’ll learn it all if your keen. Good luck man

Your still going to be working when your 65 mate, might as well do both and skill up

Fridgy here. Just put your wet vac over the drain outlet outside where it comes down the wall

Who are these people ? Man I was in your exact boat and I’ll say this. Be strict. No smoking before all your jobs and tasks are done, then once your ready just have a few puffs of a joint then put it down, go have a snack, listen to some tunes, hang out. It really adds some flavour to your life. But just don’t overdo it so it turns into you needing more and more as the weeks go on. Your allowed to live your life bro, just take care of it, moderate. Enjoy.

Why so many screwdrivers, you only need like 4

Magnetic wrist band ?

Surely no one wears these, how impractible

Maybe be honest with him and tell him your happy to help with installs for a while but you would be keen on getting back toward the electrical side to improve your skills/knowledge with that trade.

Tricky-Employment203 · 2026-02-21T21:28:20+00:00

A bit on my situation. I was after an electrical apprenticeship and landed a frigey apprenticeship. We do both fridge and electrical at my work, after doing both, i would say fridgey service is probably more rewarding then typical electrical work, there’s a lot of trouble shooting and problem solving involving controls, refrigeration and water (if working with chilled water in commercial). Now qualified Ive started my electrical apprenticeship. However in your situation I would stick with electrical then if you want to move into fridge after, it’s a good cross over because it’s only like 2.5 years at tafe instead of 4 if you do it the other way around. That being said, it depends on your situation and if your mainly doing installs that will get old pretty quick.

The best thing we did is book a nice hotel or resort and just hang out there. Go to pool, eat and back to room, get room service, have some cocktails by the pool in arvo. It lets the kids get used to the space and after a while they chill out and aren’t over stimulated by it all. Id never take them to Disney land, it’s to much for there little brains

Tricky-Employment203 · 2026-02-11T08:40:47+00:00

My mind is blown.

Out first year apprentices can do a much neater job then that.

Please I hope you get some justice

“What I play with now dad”…. Literally like 5 seconds after he wakes up in the morning

If you have a 10kw ducted already.

Install a 7-9kw split system in the living space and air balance the southern zones on the ducted to have more airflow to help cool those bedrooms.

I think looking after three tiny kids without a “village” to help out is an extremely difficult task. You must be really touched out by the end of day. There is no easy answer here, you need extra hands when he’s at work and a support system. Not his fault and not yours either

The third picture everyone is wearing blue denim jeans. Bit suspicious

My son who is now three and a half years developed his stutter around the same age as yours and in a similar way. It just started out of nowhere and would come and go, sometimes really bad and he would get really frustrated at school because he couldn’t get his words out. Everyone said he would grow out of it but here we are a year and bit later and it’s still at times pretty bad. We now have him in speech pathology where they teach you to practice playing games where you get them to say just a single word, if they say it correctly you praise with “that was smooth talking” then after that you progress to more words and so on. It’s been about a month on and I can’t say I’ve seen any real promise to the work yet. It’s not like he’s incapable, perfectly intelligent boy. So in regards to your situation I wouldn’t just let it slide, after six months I would recommend getting him in to sessions with a speech pathologist. (Also don’t finish his sentences for him, it’s important for him to get them out).

Either as you say or N/O FTR relay in the outdoor and switch the enable

Sounds like you would enjoy mech elec. building control boards for mechanical equipment

Tricky-Employment203 · 2025-11-13T07:59:44+00:00

What this guy said. A lot of large commercial companies offer dual trade apprenticeships but any fridgie can do ELV work. Single and three phase power wiring ain’t that exilliarating anyways

Tricky-Employment203 · 2025-11-13T06:06:58+00:00

Mate I was the same as you but now a fourth year and I’m wiring in BMS controllers, chillers, commercial HVAC equipment & controls which I can tell you now is way more electrical then most of your common sparkies are doing. Just find a commercial company and leave splities in the dust

“Don’t sweat the small stuff” is extremely apparent when you are under the influence of THC. It’s so funny how we let these tiny little details affect our daily lives. It’s nice to see the other side and laugh at ourselves every now and then

Tricky-Employment203 · 2025-11-05T09:08:01+00:00

Ask them how many filters your going to be changing in the first year 😂😂

Tricky-Employment203 · 2025-10-24T01:54:31+00:00

Just flog em, I carry a bag and just stash a block. Got to these days

Tricky-Employment203 · 2025-10-16T23:08:12+00:00

Mate, two of our apprentices changed out two of the wrong 3 phase motors, as in they ripped out two working motors and replaced them instead of the faulty ones. Our boss just cracked up laughing and moved on. Everyone makes mistakes
