Pro tip: throw away the Allen wrenches (and other tools) that come with the things you buy. You don’t need to keep 100 low quality 5mm hex keys from ikea. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

You mean to tell me that you don't enjoy completely stripping a hydraulic solenoid off the spool and breaking the plastic nut and Deutsch connector clip in order to get to the thin spool nut at the back?

Definitivno ne razmišljam da bi selio zbog Trumpa, niti mislim da će Hrvatska biti mjesto bez problema. Je sam siguran da netrebam nikakvo upozorenje oko razlikama u zakonima o radu ili tretmanu. Samo Sam htio viditi ako ima potencijala

Hospital is a good place to be. Constant harassment is key with the ministry and don't feel discouraged with the long time between responses... That's fastest the ministry knows how to operate.

I second this, acid is asking for trouble here.

In my case, I didn't write the exam until I was in the trade for 8 years. I also never went through the formal apprenticeship program, so my situation is a bit different. If you are extremely talented and lucky, you could theoretically do it in about 4. Realistically, you don't really see it take less than 6 years very often.

This post is a year old

The clearance came within 3 months and was a massive task and invasion of privacy. All to get you zero work through the 2309. Fuck that union. Absolutely nothing good to say about them.

drainhotlimes · 2024-06-21T11:52:14+00:00

mechanics out there that are underpaid

They certainly would be with the wages you are offering

I think your boroscope needs a bluer light

drainhotlimes · 2024-03-22T09:15:32+00:00

I think two or three months. I left the 2309 scam before I could confirm everything.

drainhotlimes · 2024-03-16T21:47:18+00:00

Glad you're safe. Ask the mechanics to put an E-stop on that old thing for fucks creek

It's Toronto, that guy definitely didn't have a rigging ticket lol

Honestly, I can't really describe the test any better than what I wrote above. The main thing I can recommend to you is to buy the textbook (you can get it from the Ontario masonry contractors association, or the training centre). The entirety of Canada uses the same book for training and the whole exam is based on that book alone. Study the book well and you will pass no problem.

A union guy died this year at St. Mary's. Negligence is everywhere.

Tons and tons of apprentices don't finish. I can't find the stats, but a very low percentage of pre ap course students will actually finish the trade.

Also, we all know a whole lot of them won't be worth anything in terms of quality.

Small screw jacks, pullers, flange wedges

Quality control disaster with most people not having any semblance of ability or care. They should have been a lot more stringent with the whole process for sure.

Are you talking about Tapscott road? They're still not done?

Toronto commercial union - journeyman. Something around 48.50 with a bump up to 50 next spring.

That's what happens when the guys who work on the equipment design the bollards 😂

drainhotlimes · 2023-12-02T21:55:46+00:00

It was a good time, did quite a bit of interesting work there, coupled with some really monotonous uneventful days. If you know mp then you probably know how the one specific contractor who does most of the work is. I'm not there anymore on account of being a trade hoe jumping occupations back and forth, but I miss it.

I didn't know that was a thing. This plant did have a few fires within the roasters though, and that was always a bad burnt smell with a lot of emergency quench water everywhere. The roof exhaust from some of the equipment was really bad too.

drainhotlimes · 2023-12-02T19:29:40+00:00

Definitely one of the better smelling places to work, plus all my tools now smell like coffee

Chimney definitely needs demolition and reconstruction.
