Not new guy, but I have not posted in a while! I went backwards in the tech world. From broadband to dial-up. Kicking SCREAMIN!!!! All the way! Did not even get on line for about 3 months. Except when absolutly necessary, Thank you Kinkos. Lots of new members and a couple of new moderators it's no suprise though, if this is my favorite site I'm sure other people enjoy it too. Welcome to all. Bill

Hello all. My name is Tommy, I am from the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. I have been in the field about 12 years. Texas finally got it together and we now have state license. Just receive my Journeyman a few weeks ago. They let anyone who held a city license grandfather theirs to a state license. Anyway this looks like a pretty neat place to discuss what we go thru in a days work. Looking forward to talking to guy.
Tommy

I spent my time as an apprentice and Journeyman in the residential/commercial/industrial world: Now I'm working as a maintenance electrician in a large machine shop: lots of drives, PLC's and loads of control issues as well as new construction and new machine hookups/moves/ etc. Always looking for opportunities to learn more.

Hey all, I ran across the write up in EC&M, and remembered that I haven't been around much, if at all, in the last year or so. My name is Greg, I'm 27 y/o from New Martinsville West Virginia, and the owner of an electrical contracting business with my dad. We have been Hughes Electric for almost 3 years now, and are doing quite well. We have 2 employees, both talented young men, who are licenced in the state of WV. We do mostly residental and light commercial work, and have been blessed with meny customers spreading the word to their friends... word of mouth is the best advertising there is. Attention to detail and quality work will get you every where. It has done wonders for us. I have been in this line of work for about 10 years, and my dad has been for over 35 years. I hope to be around the site more now, there really is lots of useful stuff to be found... Take care all...
Greg, AKA ElectricWonder, AKA DieselCrawler

Thanks for the welcome, hello all. Haven't had the time or patience for this in the past, but am trying. We're a small northern Illinois firm specializing in mostly remodeling/ service work. The last few days of reading all these topic postings has really helped me guage my knowledge, squarely in the bottom half! But this site is top drawer, think im hooked.
