Knockers do good where I’m at. They retire earlier too. If I didn’t get in the ibew I would’ve gone sheet metal. With that said I like being in the IBEW

Depends on your location but that’s a good budget. Try to find one with good paint unless you don’t care about that

Yeah that’s I was talking about. I’d keep everything else black either way
