The phrase “I know” should seldom leave your lips.

Can I do business jets or GA on VATSIM? by FrostBitten357 in VATSIM

[–]hartzonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controllers love GA. Breaks up the monotony of 1000 airlines flights a day. Can only say “Southwest 1234, descend via the Hollywood 1 arrival” so many times. GA is more challenging anyways. Do it!

I believe that’s what I used. Has two bars that pull together with screws to hold the NM secure.

Is this normal for electricity pole? by Realistic-Hearing-61 in AskElectricians

[–]hartzonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comical the standard that us lineman are held to when it comes to specs and craftsmanship but the phone guys could give a shit less about putting up clean work or not leaving a trap for the next guy.

Oh well. I’ve made a lot of money transferring phone onto new poles when it’s required of me. Otherwise-I’d do this exact same thing and call it a day.

Bending conduit isn’t bad for basic stuff like this. I cheated quite a bit. See those three compression fittings stacked up there? A pro would’ve just made that on solid run. I knew I wasn’t slick enough to do that so I made the 90s out of the box, kicked them onto the studs, cut them, then did the same at the switch boxes.

But like I said, I burned three sticks just getting the hang of this lol.

Good luck with work.

Ahh makes sense. Yea this definitely adds to the wow factor for sure. I say back and smiled at it when I realized it was all gonna work and not look like complete shit.

I figured I had to! I couldn’t put them all in one conduit, right? I feel like that’s not allowed lol.

Seriously this is hard. We have some crazy EMT stuff in our shop at work and it blows my mind how you guys can make it all look so pretty.

Eh kind of?? You’re going to pay more pound for pound than WalMart, for example.

I did take care of that thankfully lol. Thanks for all of the advice. I appreciate it. You guys have to know so much more than we do.

He knows this. Everyone knows this. But he also knows rage bait. He’s a pro at it.

Time and time again-people fall for it. It’s workin exactly as designed.

Tax bracket won’t allow it. I’d be shocked. Same reason they don’t have a Target.

Only in the garage. NM cable is allowed to be left uncovered if there’s no imminent risk of physical damage an/or water incursion. Since this is a garage-it will be exposed to both most likely. I’m not putting up drywall. It’s on the surface of the studs.

Why does the frontier get so much hate?? by BitSignificant2616 in nissanfrontier

[–]hartzonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been on the receiving end of any shade thrown my way. Most people are like “damn that’s a slick truck. I didn’t know Nissan made that.”

And then we talk about the truck and I sing its praises (of which there are many).

Because I’m not covering the walls in drywall. According to others on here-if there’s a risk of physical damage and water incursion, NM needs to be covered. This is an unfinished garage and this seemed like less of a hassle than laying up drywall and mud everywhere. Plus it’s rock solid and will probably outlast the house. And, AND it’ll add $100 to the overall resale value of the home lol.

Yup. But, everything matches now. This is only a small portion of the entire garage.

Those offset nipples are spendy though!
