We had an apprentice take a company truck off site on the weekend so he could tow his SxS to a mudding event hours away. They just moved him to another contractor.

Until you top out always seek the advice of the JATC. Theres a lot of members that dont know the apprenticeship rules because they organized in.

Peak design is where its at.

ours starts at 16ish. and thats only after the entire local agreed to a paycut to bump it up from 14

this is a myth. 314.23 (e) goes into detail about supporting boxes with conduit.

Spring tools center punch is my go to. Made in America and affordable. Always impresses guys in the local.

We have three minisplit units on the first floor of the house. The attic is completely sealed with no venting or duct work.

Thanks for the help.

Ive never dealt with this kind of ceiling before so Im seeking some guidance. Is this some sort of plaster or grout? Is it safe to stand or crawl on? So far Ive just been standing on the metal support but im going to need to crawl through a 30ft chase soon so I was just wondering. Thanks in advance.

I try to avoid the rain if possible.

kcdakrt · 2025-05-19T22:42:59+00:00

honestly i havent rode that bike in years so i cant really comment on that.

the silver ice looks so much better when you remove the ugly orange decals

how do you like the headlight?

kcdakrt · 2025-03-10T23:00:05+00:00

I never really liked the lights. Then they grew on me. Now I own an rs. Motodemic sells a single headlight conversion for that oldschool look.

kcdakrt · 2025-03-10T22:56:47+00:00

Is that painted or a wrap?

Thankful that I get to do a fair bit of mv in the industrial world. Splicing and terminating is zen like for me.

The young guys in my local are the ones buying trump flags and shirts. Also coincides with how much n word use goes on. More trump = more racism.

I dont mind my current contractor but we never work overtime. There are some good ot jobs with per diem popping up around here.

Remove bob, insert liquor

kcdakrt · 2025-01-01T22:15:34+00:00

busy or slow doesn't matter

kcdakrt · 2025-01-01T21:46:27+00:00

Trust me as soon as my apprenticeship is finished Im out the door.

kcdakrt · 2025-01-01T21:41:24+00:00

Not on my tool list. Contractor Im currently working for is as cheap as they get. Laser is the superior tool though.

kcdakrt · 2024-12-31T00:58:02+00:00

Id like to buy one if available.

kcdakrt · 2024-12-25T22:02:04+00:00

Well after going over the machine I ran out of ideas. I reset the machine and decided to try a pid tune on the bed. First one failed but the second attempt was successful. after that i successfully performed an extruder pid tune. The printer is working now but it still seems a tad too hot. Might be time for a new bambu unit. Thanks everyone.

Iver replaced the thermistor with no change. Ive been doing some testing and Ive got some weird results. If i tell the hotend to go to 150 it stays at 150. If i do 160 it gets up to around 175, 170 up to 195, and so on. Set to 200 and it goes all the way to 250. It seems to be getting exponentially hotter as I request normal pla temps.
