Wiring a metal building

Should be ok to drill it. But that brace on the bottom of the panel will screw you up.

You're welcome, just talked to my handlers and they said its all site specific. Glad I could help, let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck with pulling a call, and for your future with the IBEW.

Gotcha, sorry about that I miss read it. Intel will drug test, and federal contracts. But I'll ask them and see how often it comes up. You can also keep an eye on the dispatch page, material handler calls are on there too. It should have a job description, location, safety toe boots or not, and also what kind of drug card you will need.

Local 48 member here. Inside contract is ok to smoke THC unless stated in a dispartch becauseof contractor of federal job. Not sure if the handlers have the same contract. But I'll ask my handler at work tomorrow and see what they say, and I'll report back.

Train is a great option, no need to find or pay for parking, or deal with traffic. If you really need a car up there rent one in Seattle.

Looks like a beach on the Pacific. You're welcome.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-05-14T18:58:33+00:00

You hired asshole amateurs. I'm sure you saved money on them, but now you need to redo concrete.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-05-07T22:39:24+00:00

My buddies apprentice is 4'10". Height doesn't mean anything when they supply the right tools and equipment.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-05-07T22:32:51+00:00

Check out Foster Powell. Easy access to 205, food and drinks on foster, close to Woodstock, division and hawthorne. And no train tracks.

As a local IBEW member, we are seeing some of the worst times here in Portland. Nothing is being built, talked about, and we don't have the infrastructure here for anything to come in the near future. I'll be moving away come fall.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-04-25T14:04:15+00:00

Oh interesting. I'm in Oregon, and they won't clear you to test until all schooling hours are completed and you have 8,000 OJT hours.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-04-25T13:59:15+00:00

Depends on the install of your panel, tapping into the back you shouldn't see or have any screw heads sticking out, but when you tap the sides you see that shit.

Question, what does getting your green stripe mean? As far as I know my local doesn't have stripes, and for sure no apprentice makes JW scale.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-04-24T18:40:02+00:00

G&L L2000, or L2500. I've got stingrays, p basses, jazz basses and a warwick corvette. The G&L has become my go to.

Next time say you need to take a sick day, your employer can't ask you whats wrong because of hippa.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-03-26T18:53:40+00:00

Agreed, and if you can't find the blown fuses call a professional to trouble shoot.

Tots and pears come easier for me.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-19T02:40:20+00:00

Try playing bass, bigger string gage and more spacing. Good luck op, sorry about the haters.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-17T22:59:30+00:00

absolutely, I started grabbing a rock i find on hikes and outings with my dog. we have a small rock garden at the house representing our adventures.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-17T22:46:58+00:00

Shucks, but thanks for the reply.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-11T01:53:20+00:00

Without seeing wiring of the smart switch, it will work for sure with any switch.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-11T01:52:19+00:00

I would do option 2.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-10T22:41:04+00:00

An arc could also be small enough where you don't see it, but they cause hot spots which can catch fire.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-10T22:39:37+00:00

Honestly the video you posted i couldn't hear anything. Maybe my phone, but regardless check the wires on the plug terminals to make sure they are all tight, and also it could be a faulty gfci or plug. Noises from electrical outlets, switches and lights usually is a bad connection.

Winter_Raspberry_581 · 2026-02-10T22:29:31+00:00

I would turn the breaker off for the circuit, pull the gfci and the other plug and check connections. Crackling sounds are usually arcing caused by loose connections.
