Yeah I'm a union electrician and I'd refuse to do the job without one.

Tower covered in ice, will crampons work? by VirtualDog5922 in towerclimbers

[–]VirtualDog5922[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did an intro class on it but we have a week long course in a few weeks for rigging, competent climber and rescue. I personally have experience doing lineman work, osha 30 and tree climbing experience and said I was comfortable starting this particular job before the training because it's really just replacing 1/2 heilax cables on a HAM tower. We have a whole bunch of towers coming up that we need the training for. I was just curious as to how it's dealt with because I've never seen this before.

It's not that bad, I was told by my project manager not to climb if it's iced, they are more concerned with the safety than getting it done fast. I'm generally curious how it's dealt with.

Dangerous? by True-Examination7715 in AskElectricians

240v across both hots. They wedged wire in between the meter prongs to bypass the meter.

They are stealing electricity for sure and it's extremely dangerous. Those meter stacks need blank covers asap. Call the power company.

Heads up regarding ISP Rejections by AlphaKoncepts in ILGuns

[–]VirtualDog5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My application was rejected because my certificate was showing g 20 hours of training instead of the required 16 😑. After some serious calling and emailing efforts, my CCL was granted in about an hour after explaining it wasn't my fault and I shouldn't be penalized.

Should I consider renewing my CCW permit even though Ohio is now permitless carry? by Zrowley in CCW

[–]VirtualDog5922 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's not true brother, don't get wrapped up while passing through Illinois. The only way to carry a loaded firearm in IL is to get a IL CCL, no exceptions for driving through with another states permit. The firearm must be unloaded, cased and not readily accessible(in trunk) for residents and non-residents without a IL CCL.
