ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Site wants money to answer electrical questions!

I've seen two or three telecoms sites along similar lines: "Send $10 and I'll explain how to wire an extension phone jack."

Considering that the information in question is freely available on other sites, I wonder whether anyone is silly enough to send them money.

Sparky,
Only one thing missing from your tool kit.
Duct tape!!!!!!

There's one other problem with that tool kit -- A drill AND a jigsaw!

We all know that the proper way to saw is to use a drill and just work it along the wood like a file!

Paddle bits! The mark of a true craftsman.

Well I dont know about anyone else but is there any teeth on that drywall saw ? It sorta looks like a butter knife.

Speaking of that, have you seen the new 'Fat Max' saw from Stanley?

I highly recommend it, as well as the Tape Measure. This saw has got some teeth!

I've done that before! Me and the GC (A buddy of mine) were at a job to move a wall, and that particular day, we had both forgotten our sawzalls. We had to remove the plate in the new doorway so I could move a cable. A DeWalt Drill and a paddle bit did the trick!

We laugh about that one from time to time...

I signed up for an internet diy advice service just to see if it was for real. I set my own terms and prices and the site would take a chunk for themselves. Soon enough the questions came roling in. I could not believe it. Questions like "How do I install a bathroom fan". Very vague and obviously not something these people should be attempting. I didn't respond to any of the emails and I was soon "Fired" !

Yes I got one of them they are pretty nice, if there is anything I see that can help make my job easier I get it.
My supplier sends me special ' Flyers ' to let me know when Venders are coming in so I can plan on being there. You know the old kid in the candy store type deal, I see a new tool I just gotta have it.
In fact just got my new Klein Torque Screw driver, it s really slick, and was surprised how much I have been over torquing everything, Breakers, receptacles etc.
