I do historic preservation in general, I work inside and out. Even doing windows I'm in and out, painters caulk and paint windows shut, almost like they don't know windows are suppose to open.

Usually with windows I spend the first 4 hours of the day outside.

Hey if I have a question ... who do I @?

@John O -

@Deleted User did you get your problem taken care of

Greg's a master electrician, I'm just a late stages apprentice @Deleted User

Yeah a laid-off electrician LOL

Ooh, that sucks dude

You ever get paid by that guy?

Hell. No! Pissed off bad too

@Deleted User no I did not

@Deleted User what's your question? @Deleted User's free haha, sorry

@RevStench I’m at work …give me a few...

There are a bunch of pieces of shit out there, man. Even amongst whites.

Applying for an apprenticeship next Wednesday, wish me luck

Good luck 🍀

Are you employed? Union? @Deleted User

It's an IBEW sponsored program/apprenticeship

900 in-class hours and 8000 on-the-job hours over the course of 5 years (or less). Something like that.

I didn't realize the Union was so strong in Texas

I was just asking because a lot of guys go to technical schools and lose out on thousands of dollars

I actually got advice from a few guys on here in terms of searching for unions/apprenticeships

Yeah, I think it was me

And Greg

I hadn't seen your avatar in a while, thought you were new

Destroying technical schools is my personal life goal

Well I talked to a few guys via pm, just found this server today

Oh, nvm

Lots of tradesmen in IE

😋

I have a cousin and uncle in the ibew, they like it

I've talked to a fella at the local branch about this apprenticeship, had a great conversation. They seem like standup guys.

I'm applying next Wednesday but I don't think I'll be taking the aptitude test/interview till December, from what I was told.

My mother in law called me yesterday, she’s selling her house and moving (farther away thank god) but she had a ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms that worked intermittently and wobbled pretty bad, stopped by after work to take a look....

LOL

Apparently the previous owner just stuffed the housing full of socks trying to keep it from wobbling

It wobbled because it was half ass attached to a light box, not one for a fan. I would have had to crawl about a mile through her attic to change the box, so I just put a light in its place. I thought the fan motor might have had a short anyway, but it had no continuity to ground, checked the incoming voltage, it was fluctuating between 110 and 40v. Pulled the light switch, whoever put it in had used the stab connectors instead of the screws and had cracked it.
