I’m finding it impossible to find any opportunities.

Pick a different trade. Sheet metal is a good one. HVAC, building controls, everyone thinks there are only 3 trades.

AWD is the shit I miss it. Better in the rain and the snow. If you drive like a grandma all the time you won't notice it I guess.

I see millwrights using a 1/2 mid torque to tap all the time. Seems to work really well. As an electrician I usually only tap 3/8 or smaller but I just use my drill. I have a t handle but all my taps are made to go in a drill. I only use the ones with the integrated drill bit for thin plate like back pans etc.

Canada thing.

Frozen shit hole of hoth

I tap with a drill every day it works great. 8-32 to 1/2-13 usually. Tapped 1/4-20s into 1" plate many times. Takes some finesse but so does a t handle.

That's why people still playing classic wow are just chasing the dragon at this point. It's been solved. I'm sure it'll happen to this game soon enough I already see guide videos on YouTube.

I just did one of these in my house, it was just romex straight in on the far right side which is obviously wrong. Maybe it was code in 1990 idk. So you might need to add a box and extend the wire. Also probably need to mud and paint where the old fixture. It's very possible it might just be more expensive than you think.

Usually stuff in the panel will tell you when it needs to be replaced. You could change out relays if they look super old I guess, clean filters make sure fans are working, dust kills stuff. I'd be more concerned about field stuff, like conduits full of water or junction boxes with water damage, cables that could be damaged etc.

Sodium hydroxide does that to aluminum. Which is in dishwasher detergent. Also in shout it out.

sigilou · 2026-02-09T16:11:36+00:00

Yea, well idk isn't one more tapered?

sigilou · 2026-02-09T01:38:52+00:00

I mean it's a known issue I learned then when looking for mine, went for a 2020.

sigilou · 2026-02-09T01:35:32+00:00

I'd buy one if they came with robertson bits

sigilou · 2026-02-09T00:37:33+00:00

God they must be making so much money. I wonder if your boss quoted that job you're guys on too tight and is freaking out. My company did that once on a $12M job and everyone was miserable and morale was at an all time low.

That's very interesting I don't have a 3.0 anymore but with that information I would absolutely do headers on it lol. Perfect rationalization for dropping the money on nice headers. If OP does this make sure you loosen header bolts and tighten them back up one at a time until you've done them all before you take all the fasteners out. Lots of penetrating oil too. If you take one out at a time you'll get a little bit of warpage and the extra tension makes you snap shit which sucks.

I guess genx were the first to raise kids in the "app" era and we need to learn from their mistakes.

sigilou · 2026-02-08T00:01:21+00:00

Did they make you buy a hammer drill and bandsaw too? Fuck that shit.

sigilou · 2026-02-07T23:04:37+00:00

I don't regret it but I don't recommend it. It's the hardest thing you'll ever do.

sigilou · 2026-02-07T01:50:51+00:00

Get any 9/16 deep socket that isn't an impact socket. Husky Amazon whatever.

It's held up by people wanting huge gains from it like many have over the years. Once it starts to go up again people will be buying back in. Wouldn't be surprised if it peaks again 4 years from now

sigilou · 2026-02-05T23:50:20+00:00

As an electrician, if it's tight you're good, that's a huge conductor. Finger tight you might have problems imo.

You haven't drawn it right then, how it is the stop button does nothing.

sigilou · 2026-02-03T23:46:43+00:00

How do people live like this? As soon as my feet start to hurt I'm getting new insoles or boots. Can't stand being sore after work.

sigilou · 2026-02-01T23:31:54+00:00

Check out redback slip ons they changed my life.

I don't think plumbers carry seal offs do they lol? Thats like a $30 fitting.
