@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?

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?

2017-10-03 18:18:17 UTC  

Lmao, is that the best option?

2017-10-03 18:27:34 UTC  

@Whitelash it could be a couple of things. If you have a main breaker in your panel it will control both phases. A phase and B phase. If the breaker has malfunctioned and one side of it has gone bad only half of the house will work. Turn the breaker off wait a second and then turn it back on it may bring everything up it may reset itself. If you have an electrical tester you could take the cover off and test from the metal frame of the panel to each of the two main wires coming in. If you have power to both halves of your main breaker it could be coming in from outside the utility companies end of it

2017-10-03 18:28:41 UTC  

If you do take the cover off to test it make sure that you're very careful when removing the cover. If there is any damage to the wires going to the main breaker or the main breaker itself you should probably stop and call someone with some experience. If the breaker is burnt up in the wires just sitting there hot it could arc an blow up in your face

2017-10-03 18:30:33 UTC  

If the main breaker is bad the meter Globe will have to be pulled out of the meter base so that those wires are de- energized and then whatever repairs are needed can then be performed

2017-10-03 18:30:58 UTC  

I just got in the car to head home so if you have any more input shoot it my way and I will be able to check back with you in about 15 or 20 minutes

2017-10-03 18:31:43 UTC  

@John O - maybe they are trying to say fan and ceiling lights LOL
