Idgaf if it takes longer im going home to my kids after work

If i sell a contract that requires scaffolding i charge so much i just pay someone to climb it. I don't mess with that

He didnt see your tag? Wtf? Did he see his teeth come out?

Always!

And only you have the damn key

What i love about we all do is that we make a positive impact on society. Little bitches that have more calluses on their asses than their hands get little respect from me

@Deleted User my woman has a love hate relationship with my hands

So rough they practically sand down sugar walls

My ole lady used to be a professional but now she is very happy raising our son and tending to the house

It doesnt help that i ride motorcycles

@Deleted User me too

Gloves screw us electricians

@Deleted User i thought lotion was for darkies?

Sissies too now lol

Damn i like this server

Beautiful pic. Love that whites are on the walls

What?

Thise paintings are kikes?

Every jew i give estimates to get the jew tax

30% mark up then i show them a 10% discount....

Was it knob and tube?

Bx..... that shit is tough to cut. Mc is so much easier to work with now

@RevStench last year

Looks like screw in fuses for knob and tube

Or this that a switch?

@Thomas Morrow lol

If its a switch ive never seen one

That doesnt sound like muh freedom

I respect that

Still is for the most part

I only hire our people period

Lmao you're so right

We have to visualize everything

And understand it on an electrical "engineer" level

Nigs troubleshooting is like watching a trainwreck

They follow gibs law

Agreed

The jumping of neutral to ground is to trick an inspectors plug tester. This is a hack job "electricians" work

The ground isnt even wrapped the right direction

Do a resistance check from neutral to ground. The grounds and neutrals typically are bonded at the panel. Sometimes you will find floating neutrals which means its isolated. However the xo bond coming from the secondary side of transformers creates ground aka your zero reference point

@Placidseven - MO run a new feed

@Placidseven - MO and rebuild the ckt like greg sharded a pic of

This method also changes the ckt to parallel. In parallel ckts the device can fail and usually will not disable the whole ckt as it will in series

Anytime

Nice saxon blade btw

No sir. During the summer i work non stop. Feast or famon and ive got plenty of mouths to feed brother

Installing a furnace today

out with the old

in with the new

I know its not electrical but my skills are diverse..... and diversity is our strength goys

Low voltage step down transformer

@REVNAT/PA i contract HVAC. Post your question in electrical discussion please

I recommend targeting residential service companies

Start as an installer. Move up to tech.

Move up to sales tech

Spend some time learning the business and start contracting

Yes sir

In cali they verify your ss records for hours. Plus 4-5 years of school

An Apprentice thats brand new makes half of jm wages. So if jm make 50 you make 25 and it goes up every year.

@dog0fwar just know that the goal should be electrical contractor

Tbh $10k won't be enough at all. And it wont help if you only have theory on paper, you have to know how to install to start a company.

Your best bet is to work for someone for a a few years. Learn residential, commercial and industrial. Once you learn the methods of each, you'll know how to manage a crew worth their salt

Also being good at sales is a bonus

This is another reason residential is more profitable. Osha shows up to commercial projects. Commercial projects honestly do not have profit margin to time/material ratios that i find worth my time. In residential im in and out loke the wind with average material cost being 10% of ticket value

Example a $5k job will take me 1 day with material being around $500

In commercial after your time and material matrix you're lucky for 10% profit margins and youve wasted months

You bill your customers on t&m? I do "flat rate" or "upfront" pricing..... this way they are clueless

Also i agree remodels have so many unknown variables that i tack on another 30% just to be safe

That padding usually hits my pockets nicely because unforseen issues i handle myself

And keep the helpers on task

Nice

No sir.

Ty

No. Igave the customer the option for an additional $2k. He chose in his words to find some lesser mexicans to dig it. I spray painted the run last week. However my apprentice and i back filled it

I use glow rods, magnets and fishing drill bits

Thats why you always need a non conductive fish tape also

The "chosen ones" do stick together and embrace identity. I would say that for of most of them thats where it ends. However the higher they go up in monetary gain i believe it directly correlates to subversive behavior against all competition. I believe that if we focused on embracing our identities and being a collective we can achieve real power levels

Electrical and HVAC here

Sorry bro

Yes the by product of electricity is amps, the by product of amps is heat. As a circuit is used it heats up (expansion) and when its not used it contracts. This is also a reason derating factors are used for counduit exposed to the sun

Thus is the main reason copper is used over aluminum these days

Aluminum is trash

Oh my

>quantity

>quality

>choose one

I would say that the majority of electrical fires ive been to has had aluminum wires and zynscos

I would definitely advise scheduled harmonic checks. The aluminum conductors have a history of shifting

But i know most other contractors live by the it only has to last one year and my assets are safe rule

You would be amazed how often i find service conductors loose or the dreaded arcing from a loose neutral
