You can also just use a plastic bag, a shop vac, and jet line if you're doing it on the cheap

2017-09-18 22:28:33 UTC  

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.

2017-09-18 22:30:14 UTC  

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

2017-09-18 22:30:25 UTC  

@John O - so youre an electrician also?

2017-09-18 22:31:39 UTC  

Not yet, going to take my Journeyman's in a few months. I had a convo with you about it a week ago.

2017-09-18 22:32:25 UTC  

Lol that's right I'm sorry. It has been a rough couple of weeks. What part of the country are you in

2017-09-18 22:32:45 UTC  

It's cool, Florida

2017-09-18 22:33:46 UTC  

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

2017-09-18 22:36:28 UTC  

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.

2017-09-18 22:36:38 UTC  

Maybe California. Idk yet.

2017-09-18 22:37:59 UTC  

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

2017-09-18 22:38:41 UTC  

I understand that! What kind of a foothold do the unions have in those areas?

2017-09-18 22:39:27 UTC  

If that's your picture for your avatar you look to be about 24

2017-09-18 22:40:13 UTC  

None

2017-09-18 22:40:15 UTC  

I was just asking I was trying to figure out how long you been in the trade total

2017-09-18 22:40:25 UTC  

I'm 22

2017-09-18 22:40:34 UTC  

Got my job 2 weeks out of highschool

2017-09-18 22:40:53 UTC  

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

2017-09-18 22:41:38 UTC  

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

2017-09-18 22:42:21 UTC  

I was college bound, pretty happy that I missed out on that

2017-09-18 22:43:11 UTC  

Yeah most of these colleges are freaking cancer. Feeding these kids heads full of b*******

2017-09-18 22:56:47 UTC  

My family has been oven middle class for 3 generations. My mom still flips out at me, despite my p nice net worth.

2017-09-18 22:57:43 UTC  

My dad and I are the first out of three generations, cousins included, on both sides, not to get a 4 year diploma.

2017-09-18 23:39:11 UTC  

I need to get my Master's, but I want to see the country a little while I'm still young.

2017-09-18 23:39:22 UTC  

It's definitely a top priority.

2017-09-25 23:50:10 UTC  

@Deleted User I love under counter lights.

2017-09-25 23:50:58 UTC  

And those "hidden" plugs are sweet

2017-09-25 23:54:43 UTC  

Yes sir! What kind of cabinet is that with the strips mounted in it?

2017-09-26 00:17:51 UTC  

I think they were mounted after. I don't know anything about those cabinets, they were in a house in the triangle.

2017-09-29 22:21:36 UTC  

Koba bought some weird ass Chinese electronic lightbulb.

2017-09-29 22:23:25 UTC  

an electrician isnt going to be able to help me out with it but thanks

2017-09-29 22:23:57 UTC  

My bad breh

2017-09-29 22:28:41 UTC  

Are they wi-fi controlled?

2017-10-01 04:29:50 UTC  

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.

2017-10-03 17:25:18 UTC  

Fucking Haitians. What the fuck is faciling lights?

2017-10-03 18:08:41 UTC  

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

2017-10-03 18:12:01 UTC  

Wait for the electrical fire and collect insurance?
