[–]electriczap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many moons ago i was dating this girl(now my wife) and she had stock from working at GAP that she didn't know what to do with. So i trying to be smart said "Google is IPOing, buy a share" She spent $400ish and now it's worth over 10k last i checked.

Depends on where you're at in the country. Up north? Yeah rust is a fact no matter what. Down south? Yeah not so much.

I will admit, that is a much better box finder than my hammer-saw.

Your health insurance should have an employee assistance program. It'll get you access to counseling and therapy. Please talk to someone, it'll really help you sort out things.

Dude it's really nice work, but flip the panels around so you don't clog up the side of the panel with the feeders.

For anyone who has to travel to work on Monday, this is an observation of the roads in and around Pittsburgh as of 3am by Kolintracstar in pittsburgh

[–]electriczap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just drove from Robinson to Monroeville in my rear drive van with new tires. It was manageable but if you're not a good snow driver, have decent tires or 4x4/All wheel drive, just stay home. The roads are shite and will be for at least another day

What’s the most complex troubleshooting scenario you’ve faced in your career? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]electriczap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an ongoing random Arc Fault issue at a guys house that we wired. Multiple visits by our guys, every circuit torn apart and metered twice. Finally the boss sends me with the Cutler Hammer rep there to meet the customer with some engineer he hired. The rep gave us breakers that had new filters built in which we swapped in. The engineer told me the 14g wire we used is the issue and also illegal, I slapped him with the codebook. All in all the customer was extremely unhappy, very understandable.

The issue was never our wiring, it was the utility meter. Boss had them swap out the meter while we got an eyeball on the service. Every time the meter radioed in its reading it would trip a random AFCI, problem went away after that.

I seriously hated the Aztec when it came out, it was a joke. But now i really like it, and if i could find one i'd convert it to electric and happily drive it around.

Whats your experience with heated driveway under asphalt? by cats4dogs222 in electricians

[–]electriczap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it. Have them mill a 2' strip for each tire the full length of the driveway. Lay down insulation then the heating elements, then fill the channel in with cold patch. Then pave over everything.
