You can also just use a plastic bag, a shop vac, and jet line if you're doing it on the cheap
Yeah once have the gist you can use just about anything. I was on a job once and was searching for some plastic and ended up using part of a Fritos bag. I've used them with screw conduits before but it just depends on how big the conduit is and how long the run is.
I was about to ask how long of a run can you do that ghetto way?
I was just curious, because everyone has a different way to fish wire
@John O - so youre an electrician also?
Not yet, going to take my Journeyman's in a few months. I had a convo with you about it a week ago.
Lol that's right I'm sorry. It has been a rough couple of weeks. What part of the country are you in
It's cool, Florida
That's right. I'm just getting senile in my old age. Are you going to hit him up for a raise once you get your journeyman's
I'm probably going to quit. I'm thinking about moving to Seattle, where I can get $35/hr so that I can save up for when the housing market drops.
Maybe California. Idk yet.
The company I work for is huge, and since the pay isn't great, a lot of my coworkers are Haitians or Hispanics. I get a bit tired of it, and I'm not sure I want to be in charge of a bunch of guys who resent me for being white boy in charge
I understand that! What kind of a foothold do the unions have in those areas?
If that's your picture for your avatar you look to be about 24
None
I was just asking I was trying to figure out how long you been in the trade total
I'm 22
Yes it seems like two unions have a stronger hold the further north you go up to Northeastern Corridor. Up around New York and New Jersey if you don't have a union card you don't get much work
Yes I graduated high school and two weeks later had a job as an electrician. I didn't know what I was getting into at the time. I really enjoy it though I don't think I would have gone another direction if I could do it over
I was college bound, pretty happy that I missed out on that
Yeah most of these colleges are freaking cancer. Feeding these kids heads full of b*******
My family has been oven middle class for 3 generations. My mom still flips out at me, despite my p nice net worth.
My dad and I are the first out of three generations, cousins included, on both sides, not to get a 4 year diploma.
I need to get my Master's, but I want to see the country a little while I'm still young.
It's definitely a top priority.
@Deleted User I love under counter lights.
And those "hidden" plugs are sweet
Yes sir! What kind of cabinet is that with the strips mounted in it?
I think they were mounted after. I don't know anything about those cabinets, they were in a house in the triangle.
Koba bought some weird ass Chinese electronic lightbulb.
an electrician isnt going to be able to help me out with it but thanks
My bad breh
Are they wi-fi controlled?
Just wanted to add my endorsement for the LED tube lights to replace fluorescent fixtures as mentioned in the tutorial. I installed one in my kitchen a couple of years ago and it's been top-notch.
Fucking Haitians. What the fuck is faciling lights?
So I woke up today with power to only half of my house, I switched the breakers and still no power, anyone have any ideas? @everyone
Wait for the electrical fire and collect insurance?
