Hello,
I'm an industrial electrician in the Chicagoland area. I enjoy reading your posts because it assures me that there are still people out there who want to do a job correctly. Some of the hack's I work with make my brain melt.
I'd give my eye teeth to get a Chicago liscense. I've been trying for years, but the requirements are too strict. I'd have to work for a liscensed contractor for two years before I can take the test. There's no work here, nobody's hiring. Or they can't keep you on for two continuous years.
I enjoy your posts, but have to filter out half of your info. Here in Chicago we work by Chicago codes. They are way more strict than the rules that the rest of you play by. Something about a fire we had here a few years back. . . .
