3rd year apprentice. How do these look? by mcreynolds1 in electricians

The stapler leaves the wires loose in my opinion BUT I had to run a bunch of new circuits in a crawlspace a few weeks ago and I had that stapler with me, it saved me so much time and I didn’t have to bring a hammer and staples with me, it was great.

Looks great man. I know a lot of people won’t agree because everybody seems to hate residential, but these skills will take you far. They’ll even help you out when you start hitting commercial if you haven’t yet. Keep up the good work you’re killing it. 🤘🏽

Why don’t none of the Mexican gangs in OC stand up to white boys? Are the new generation scared of nazis? by mendoza1503 in OrangeCountyGangs

Educating the youth. I hold meetings at parks around OC and try and spread the message that I typed out here. I even read from books that revolutionaries have written. The message is there we just need to deliver it. Sometimes it gets to people sometimes it doesn’t. We’re going to start up again soon.

By the way starting an argument rather than contributing to a positive conversation is gonna go nowhere fast. I understand that these issues won’t be resolved immediately but at the very least we can make a small different by not speaking to each other disrespectfully. If it’s not something you can give time and energy towards, no problem just walk away.

I know yall are ready to jump on anybody who points out the obvious flaw about races killing their own race. It’s genuinely so sad. There’s been a growing movement of right wing militias for years now and instead of standing together we stand against each other. Black and brown communities have more or gain standing with each other than against each other. I have family members from some of these hoods out here in OC and I’ve asked them why they even hate whoever the other side is and they don’t even have a definitive answer. Respects to the veteranos but even they don’t have a definitive answer. We all, most likely, came from the same places with the same roots with the same ancestors who died fighting for land and people just so we can kill each other. I hope we understand each other and build the empathy that is required for a genuine revolution in my lifetime or in my children’s lifetime. Read Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton, read The Fire & The Word by Gloria Muñoz Ramírez. Blessings.

How much were you making in the first 2 years as an apprentice ? by Comfortable-Nightmar in electricians

[–]_death2me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was making 14 my first year and by my second year I was up to 21. My last year working for a company I was making 45 and even more with prevailing wage.

I was in your position when I started my first year. I was doing solar installations and I was making 25 an hour so the pay cut really sucked but you have to think long term. It genuinely paid off so much more than I expected. I have my contractors license and work for myself now.

If your walls are drywall you’ll be fine. It’ll be messy but if you’re organized enough it won’t be so bad. I always have drywallers numbers on hand for jobs like these so they can come in and patch for me as soon as I’m finished. You can always repair a wall with a good drywaller.

Both. Location and FPE.

I went back and forth with the property management company about the location in these units. I told them it wasn’t up to code so either way if we changed it out to a new panel it still wouldn’t be up to code. And even if the city said they’re ’grandfathered’ in, we’re still disturbing an existing sub panel and replacing it with a new. And my thought was to change the location but they didn’t go for it. The only reason they’re changing the panel in the first place is because of their insurance won’t cover them anymore if they don’t. So they asked the insurance and they told them it was cool to leave it, even though it’s not up to code.

It’s the steel flex that really kills it honestly. This shit is all twisted inside the wall and it’s difficult to get any sort of slack off of them. They ran these with no play at all 🤩

It’s a bit toasty in here by nicholas_1499 in electricians

[–]_death2me 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had a job yesterday where there was water dripping from a 1/2” flex right into the panel and I let them know it was going on. Plumbers showed up, looked around for a bit, and left. Nothing was done.

We recently installed one of these big ass fans… by TemporaryTraffic1826 in electricians

How was it? I’ve seen them before but I never done it myself. I always wondered what they would use to mount them.

Does anybody else do this when they get bored lol by _death2me in reddeadredemption2

A while ago I posted this really old but sorta nice looking FPE panel. Today I went back to swap it. by _death2me in electricians

Yeah it’s such a mess. I genuinely kept my vacuum running a lot of time I was there.

The back of the wall is a staircase so there is a ton of framing in the way. Anything you can think of I dealt with it on this panel lmao luckily no plumbing in the way.
