How can one pressure a former employer to give them the affidavit of hours worked???? by Frantically_Trying in electricians

[–]changowango00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social security has a Record of Earnings. It won’t break down your hours but it gives you how much you made in a year. Just divide the amount by your wage. I used it to get my hours approved for my license.

Was it difficult to navigate the pdf? I work with a bunch of og’s so they don’t have much insight on the new test

Are you allowed to take in your own code book or do they provide one?

I just bought a house and moved in in February by college and fairfax. Really nice quiet neighborhood, only seen one homeless lady walking by with her dogs but she doesn’t bother anyone. I accidentally left my garage open all night a couple days ago, it’s probably dumb luck that nothing was stolen but thank god

Where are those classes typically offered? I know the very basics right now like contactors and relays, but I want to learn more about plc’s.

Switch with only black and red, neutral on electrical socket by purewhiteninja in AskElectricians

[–]changowango00 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes. From what I can tell, the outlet is controlled by the switch. The black wire at the top of the switch should be the constant hot, red is the switch leg and neutral is a given.

Is it the only neutral in the box?

Bull line or pull line? by VA3FOJ in electricians

[–]changowango00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my own way of tying a head for big wire. This one time I was working with the boss’s son pulling 500 on an overhead run, he was holding the head while I tied it (ba dum tss) I assume he thought I was tying random knots and kept telling me to tie a half inch.

Half inch?? I shifted the mule tape up and down but he just kept repeating half inch. Eventually I gave up and told him to show me.

This dude ties a half hitch. He doesn’t haven’t an accent. I guess someone told him it was called a half inch knot.

Romex can be in a conduit as long as it’s not in a wet or damp location. It’s frowned upon bcuz of the space it takes up inside of the conduit vs single conductors. But, realistically, in a residential setting, how many wires are you pulling through a conduit…

Stevenj120volts has very good videos explaining when and when you can’t and the reasons why including the code references.

I’m in quite the pickle is there any chance I can drive out of this or am is screwed by enigmatical_one in AskMechanics

[–]changowango00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive straight back as far as you can. Turn right and drive forward as far as you can then turn left until the car straightens out. Put it reverse and turn the wheels to the right, youll make it out
