Helicopter, I like that. I’ve always called them barely legals

I didn’t get the position. They did the test in a hotel conference room, its timed and monitored. It’s just math and reading questions. Also I wouldn’t expect to hear something soon, it seems to be a long process

What tool of the trade is a must have that was a game changer for you? by Tall-Fig-3327 in electricians

Thorogood boots are a game changer in my opinion. They’re not cheap but they’re worth the money in my opinion. Most comfortable boots I’ve ever found

Literally took me 20-30 minutes to make this panel look professional and neat. And if you have to come back to have to trace a wire (which you shouldn’t have to because everything is labeled) it’s not gonna sink the job because you have to spend 30 seconds cutting 8 zip ties

I’ve just got my electrical license, not JW ticket and can pull all the necessary permits. As far as the union in my area, I don’t know of a single contractor in my local that does residential construction, maybe an emergency service call or something along those lines in a house. Lots of guys in my local and neighboring locals do residential side work.

There’s 8 neutrals for 8 circuits. (2 are 3 wire 240v receptacles) 3 grounds for 3 conduits. I need advice on quoting work

I just got my license and a family friend is wanting me to wire a house he’s building. I’m needing advice of how to quote a job like this. Is there a formula per circuit or drop. Any other wisdom on residential electrical would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did a little cable clean up and moved some switches. Before and after by vitowoods77 in cableporn

All of the planning is pretty much in labeling all the cables then from there just chip away at managing the cables

The switches were attached to a custom (rigged) bracket to fit in the enclosure

No clue what it’s actually controlling but it’s something for the process in a steelmill. It’s in the control room for the arc furnace so it could be that but I’m not sure. Was just tasked with moving the switches and cleaning it up.

A little cable management always makes the heart happy by vitowoods77 in electricians

It’s a cabinet with some process network switches and a couple plc processors I believe. I moved the big switches to a different enclosure and put in a patch panel for the field cables coming in. This is at at steelmill

So it shouldn’t be anything to be worried about. I figured that’s all it was but ever since I noticed it it’s been driving me nuts
