Ring ring hey there Sheetrocker guy we have an issue with a screw popping out of our sheet rock. Can you come and take a look at it for us for a minute will be waiting for your quote.
Would the metal box amplify the field also making the stick light up
If you are hiring where can I submit my resume I’m in Gresham
Bro is from the gresham area 😎
My spouse has an LME in Oregon. Does that transfer over at all into a lineman apprenticeship?
Good for homeowners !
Nice one!
Dirty, stained panel covers drive me crazy. You need some grey spray paint 🙂
60 amp breaker? Should be 50 amp with 6 gauge wire.
@@surferdude642 It’s considered a continuous load (operating for minimum of 3 hours at max current). 48A x 1.25 (multiplier for continuous loads) = 60A.
@@MadElectrician Shouldn't the wire be 4 gauge then? Personally, I'd be more comfortable with a 50 amp breaker and from what I understand, no EV is going to draw close to that much current anyway.
@@MadElectricianI understand the 1.25 multiplier and how you arrived at the 60 amp breaker. I did some research and your charger I believe is rated for 48 amps and THWN wire is apparently rated for 65 amps, so you are correct. My concern is using wire nuts for this much current allowance. I would prefer using terminal blocks rated for 60 amps for the hot wires.
I would prefer to have the holster and coiled cable mounted inside the garage. The way it's currently mounted it will interfere with the garage door when the charger is not in use, plus it's subject to weather and tampering. You could have mounted it on the front to eliminate garage door interference, but the weather and possible tampering issues would still exist, and it could be a bit unsightly. Mounting it inside means that you have to open the garage door to use it, but it's a better option imo since opening it is entering a code and pushing a button. The only other nitpick is that the conduit body is not really fastened where it enters the wall. A strap near that end could resolve that issue. Overall, it still looks pretty well done.
I am 48 years old and this video and the comments has given me another reason as to why I need to move forward with my decision of become an electrician. As a kid, I didn't do well in school, and because of that, FAILING is my greatest fear. I also think about what would happen If never overcame that fear, the results could be worse, and that's living the rest of my life in regret. so I thank you for this video that literally found me. 👊😎
Way is the high Price in fluke climp mater
I recently lost my 376 FC on a jobsite. I was looking for a replacement. That 378 model seems like what I need.
i really want to start my journey and become an electrician but i am 31 and own a house with my partner. I simply can't afford to drop to an apprentice wage for 4+ years. it would be almost a quarter what i earn now and would cripple us. I don't really know what i can do...
Great tools
Awesome feature on the meter 💯
How many inches
They make little things that pop into the back called box support brackets nvent caddy they work pretty well
Very well done! I had to install two Tesla Wall connectors in my garage and the process is nearly identical. Thanks for the helpful video.
I have a pretty secure and stable government job right now, but I don’t get paid what I want. I started the process of applying for an apprenticeship in Oregon and I’m concerned that the apprenticeship program won’t provide stable income. Is there a way to know that you will be getting 40 hours a week while being an apprentice? Or should I just stay in my current job?
Portland represent! 💪😎 liking your videos bro.. keep em coming 🙏
Outlets need to be upside down in medical facilities
It's overpriced
I retired from the IBEW, and from my experience, the international side of it was only looking out for themselves. They are only concerned with making sure that you're paying your dues, of which the local gets $1 to $2. The rest goes to the international. And even if work is slow and guys aren't working, they'll insist that the hall takes on a new class just so they can keep getting their money, they don't care about the local. If it wasn't for my local, I wouldn't have had really any kind of retirement pension to speak of. I retired at 59 1/2 and was encouraged to keep paying dues until my 65th birthday just so I could get $100, and that's before taxes, each month. I'm not saying not to join the union. Just don't expect much from the international.
Can confirm. If it’s feet from 4k it’ll go off
Good god every damn electrician on the globe came to grace the peons beneath them with godly wisdom thank you all so much
Nice. FYI looks like #6 plastic bushings required.
A new way to start a fire?
you said you worked 46-50 hrs a week as a salesman, do you work less than that as an electrician?
@@notoffensive9047 most of the time I’m working 40 hours weeks. Occasionally there is optional overtime, but typically I’m just working 40’s. Every jobsite is different though so you don’t always know what you’re going to get. Later this year I’ll be on a project that’s 4 10 hour shifts (Monday - Thursday).
Can student visa apply for this?
Looks like a waste a money. Knipex strippers do the same thing
You’ll get paid more in industrial automation (HMI/PLC) vs electrical and you don’t have to be union or have a state license. Most electricians in the U.S. make less than $125K a year. I’m not sure about the numbers you posted, I haven’t seen many making over $150K base salary.
Please to ground is 277 and face-to-face is 480.
Neat more trash for DIYers and hacks
Hi there. I just found out that (if I’m correct) I need to start working at utility companies such as eversource in order to join the IBEW. But most utilities companies are looking for lineman and I want to become a indoor electrician ( focus on residential, commercial, and solar) would it effect the out come if I start as a lineman or is there a specific apprenticeship I should start off first?
Lol
I’m 44 and looking into being an apprentice, going through the union, or going through a trades school.
don't understand the cord under garage door there had to be a better way totally not professional
It’s a little weird for sure. It’s at my house though, not somebody else’s. This is also for charging a car in the driveway, not in my garage. The best place to mount the charger was in the garage (no good spaces anywhere outside my garage). There was also a gap under my garage door which this cord has no affect of. At the end of the day, this made the most sense to me for my situation. It’s been over 6 months of it being like this with no issues and no marks or anything on the cable. I also saw somebody else in my neighborhood do the same thing and it worked great for him with no issues. I can always put the cord holster in the garage if I ever want to move it in the future.
Hi friends, I’m 27 and considering going back to school or pursuing a trade but I’m clumsy and have never been super handy. I’m not incapable of doing things around the house but I’m always dropping screws or tools. In the past I’ve been ridiculed for not being better at that type of stuff, although I have got better at it over time. Just worried that I’ll be told I’m not good enough or the teachers won’t have the patience for teaching such a klutz. Any advice?
It was hard to hear you when you faced the other way the entire video. I pissed down my leg.
$60 per hour!?! Bruh this alone just changed my career path alone, even if it was $30-$40 per hour; it’s still great!
I honestly wish I didn’t go to school for my electrical degree, the only job I could land was with my local school system only paying $16.84/hr. Pay sucks here in southeastern Kentucky. Theirs no unions in my area
Holy shit over $800 for that?
I'm thinking about joining construction, although I'm wondering how that would help me for the interview? Also great videos man. Definitely doing a lot of what you've been recommending.
Would it work outside of America, where the houses are built of proper materials and not all drywall, say actual brickwork or concrete?
People trying to reinvent the wheel. Stick to gd hooks screws.
In most states you can't use steel boxes in a wall. 😂
But what happens when you have to get it out of the side of the box 🤬😂😂😂
Now u have a metal peice able to cause a fire hood job
One of the best.
