thanks for the kick in the keester Hotone !
well, i've been a busy boy lately. I've just pulled a permit on the biggest (6000A) service of my career. 4000' of 4" emt ,and all the kibbles & bits just landed
I've spent countless hours researching code and/or material related details , all kinds of concerns
The son is a registered apprentice, and there's really no better job for him to start cracking the books on
That's been good for me too in fact, being that i now am obligated to actually explain things, i've invested in a 2011 handbook. You know it's so easy to become one of those crummegeon sparkies
I've completed my lead saftey course,(another pix license, good grief!) i'm about done with my on-line osha course, and am trying to set aside my heathen ways to be the good example for my son
I've invested in fall protection, steel toes, HH's, loto, etc,
heck, i might even have to start leaving the toilet seat down....
The owner sparky from down south, sensing i was slightly intimidated biting off more than i could chew, flew up with one of his top foremen to get us started, even brought a spankin' new Milwaukee bandsaw for the job
{i can't remember last i unpacked a new tool.....)
I'm on a regular pay schedule, i'm not coming home looking like a mud wrestler due to usual outside ditch work, i'm not having to explain gfi's afci's , or answering other repetitively inane questions to sorts that can't grasp simple concepts, i'm not in small claims court fighting for what i'm owed, or registering a lien @ town hall
these folks order all the materials, tools, lifts, etc...anything i need to get it done, they're looking to accommodate me, not for a piece of me , the dif is simply phenomenal
and all i have to do is show up, take my vitamins, and keep my antique postierior moving
life is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!
