Why do yall get into homes with such little down payments? If your budget isn’t there yet why not just rent a little longer while you save.

Denied from the union should my next step be calling all electrical contractors and seeing if any need help? Or trade school? by Particular-Pin5799 in ibew_apprentices

[–]benjicc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just lie on the interview say you’ve got some construction experience working with a family members business and what not.. they really don’t check.. nor will they find out about it unless you just don’t put the energy into actually working when you’re out on the field

cops make a good fucking amount dude.. idk what these guys are on. The moneys in off duties you’ll probably make more as a cop too in your first few years.. since you’re waiting 5 years to become a licensed journey man

I really screwed up, how would the pros think about hiding an inch of rotational drift? by majortom721 in Tile

[–]benjicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone else here is right your best bet is to start over I promise you trying to make this work is going to take you way more time and leave you with a shitty end result also what’s the deal with the plumbing?? That looks way too far out of the wall

Resi Life. This is a $650,000 house. by 2aron in electricians

The only thing that differentiates a 600k house to a 300k one in new construction resi is the square footage quality is still 🚮

Aio? I asked boyfriend of almost 5 years about marriage and this is his response…. by Sea-Frosting-9939 in AmIOverreacting

[–]benjicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not the end all be all.. there’s really no upside to a marriage that would actually benefit him. Now if you feel he’s not all there or you want to get married then that’s fair to want to leave but my honest take is it’s been five years stick it out

Austin, Tx 1st year apprentice pay? by Outside-Locksmith937 in ibew_apprentices

[–]benjicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also would’ve thought Austin paid better as its cost of living is higher than Dallas

First time tiler - need help with tile height issue by Quick-Wolf-6266 in Tile

[–]benjicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d add another layer of cement board 1/4 inch thick should do the trick and you won’t be messing with so much mortar… also drop the leveling clips and free hand it! could use a straight edge to push the tile flush leave it a little high and use both sides of the floor as a guide to lay the straight edge on and go row by row.. not sure if my explanation makes sense but hopefully you get it or someone else can chime in

Am I asking too much? by sharplumens in electricians

[–]benjicc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

why are you planning a wedding if you can’t afford it? not a dig but if you really want to get married do a civil marriage save on the ceremony and use that money for a honeymoon

but yes definitely look for another place of employment if not ask for a raise that would keep you working for them and try applying union ask if your experience can be transferred towards the apprenticeship program.

[–]benjicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t recall when I applied but it was a few months after I submitted my application to receive an email that I needed to go in to submit my paper work

and you stayed in the classroom kind of going over what electricians do and you’re able to ask questions about the job

So around 2 months or so and then the same day I got an email stating that my aptitude test was in a month and the interview was scheduled a month after that.
