Did God help you feel stronger today despite some shakiness as you adjust to a new environment, with guidance leading the way?

I feel so blessed today! It took me a bit longer than usual, about 40 minutes, and I can see a few mistakes as I get used to using a ladder. First time outside the classroom. The TV turned on, so I’m in a good mood! (I had really good guidance, by the way!) Take care, everyone! #GreaterIsHeInMe
Head back to class.. 😂🤣😂
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Well done, my friend!
Thank you for being a blessing in my life. I am forever thankful to you, Sir. I am so thrilled right now because I can now pay my bills and support my family easily. You have brought joy to my home with an investment I made a few days ago with 👉 Mr. Levi T. Wilkerson

Why not install it in the wall instead of mounting it on the surface?
Rudy onzalez’s trolling post.
Rudy onzalez, but honestly, that’s a piece of cake.
Rudy onzalez is like a sturdy wall with drywall stuck to concrete – a common sight. Fishing for information from him isn’t easy. 😉
Hey, might need a 4-hour fire wall as well.
Can the moderators please remove this trash?
This is just terrible
Using wire mold would have been a better choice
Ab onzalez thinks wire mold looks cheap. It’s the ugliest thing on the market. Change the color, for Christ’s sake. LOL
Ab onzalez believes that placing it inside the wall would have been a better option.
Do you have a one hole strap within 12 inches?
Noticed that she used a two-hole strap, which is positioned 24 inches away.
Finds that it all averages out in the end. 😂😂
There should be a strap within 12 inches of the connector on that MC cable. The Inspector says it’s a fail
‘s choice of ceiling tile provides the necessary support. 😀

This work is absolutely beautiful
I actually work for the schools in Virginia and people do this kind of stuff all the time haha
Sometimes in older schools, they prefer surface-mounted installations due to asbestos in the walls and the high cost of asbestos remediation.
It’s best to avoid making any marks on the walls to avoid disturbing the asbestos.
I occasionally work on school board projects, and in older buildings, they often request running wires through crawl spaces or in conduit.
This would not meet code requirements, and anyone paying for training in this area is being scammed.
In my county, , they have their own government so they pretty much make their own rules as long as it’s safe.
You could create a hole above the drop ceiling to run the wire to the inset box for a neat and tidy look.
I really value my skills in wire fishing/running. I see it as a major strength of mine as an electrician
Concurred, mentioning the importance of using only one coupling for every 10ft of pipe. It allows for bending conduit to achieve a perfect fit.
Hey, do you think you could have crouched a bit lower behind the TV? And secure the MC.
Maybe you could have, but it’s not as terrible as your spelling!
It’s the AI’s fault 🤖
This seems like the work of an apprentice. They forgot to secure the MC wire.
It’s time to head back to the classroom
That is an incredible sight
Who is teaching these people? That’s not going to work.
🧌
Why didn’t we go through the stud bay and mount it on the surface instead? …
Are you feeling alright?
Why didn’t they show you how to fish that wire? If you’re shelling out money, make sure to demand a refund because their teaching methods are not up to par. This wouldn’t pass inspection in most places.
She’s definitely learning, she mentioned adjusting to working on a ladder and it’s her first time outside the classroom. I’m sure none of you were perfect right from the start either. We all have to begin somewhere.
, you should be proud of yourself for completing the task and putting yourself out there. Choosing a career in Electrical is a great decision and you’ll learn a lot! Here are a few tips for next time.
First, there is a code violation. You need to support the MC within 12 inches of the box.
Secondly, I would have used tin snips to notch out the ceiling grid the width of the MC (right against the wall where you passed through) for the MC to pass through instead of making a hole in the ceiling tile. If someone wants to move that ceiling tile now, they can’t, and it looks neater.
On that note, I probably wouldn’t have used MC below the ceiling. I would have used EMT to run from above the ceiling tile to the receptacle. You could install a junction box above the ceiling tile to switch from MC to EMT or use a changeover fitting when doing that, still making sure to notch out the ceiling grid for the pipe to pass through.
Since I wasn’t there, surface mounting everything isn’t a concern for me, although I would have mounted the box lower so that it’s behind the TV in a position where you can still access the receptacles if you reach behind it. (As long as there is space behind the TV, this may not work in this case as it’s a surface mount installation)
My goal is not to be overly critical, but to provide some context instead of making a rude comment without any constructive feedback. I hope this is helpful, and if you have any questions or need anything in the future, feel free to reach out to me.
Best of luck with everything in the future!
Another tip I suggest is to always check with a level after, unless you’re aiming for crookedness
Nailed it.
The troll trophy award has been presented.
You have a drop ceiling? You could have added a dropped wall above it. The end result looks unattractive, and I apologize.
Part store part contemporary art
Using a cut-in box and running the wire down the wall would look much nicer with flush receptacles. It’s not actually much harder to do.
Ya, no, definitely not level. That’s a fail, total fail.
Where’s the journeyman who was supposed to give her instructions?
What the heck…
Haha only 40 minutes
I have a feeling he’s messing with you. He’s really screwing you over, buddy.
Aren’t conduit required for exposed installations?
Allowed Uses:
“330.10 (A)(4)Exposed or concealed.”
No need for conduit unless at risk of physical damage.
There are countless professional paths out there. It’s truly impressive
Reat work. Just watch out for the many clowns around here…
Stick to sandwiches.
Recessed in the wall would look nicer.
Well done!
Some people really love to criticize others who are proud of their work. If you want, I can get you a doll so you can point out where the mean person touched you when you were younger. But honestly, it’s pretty sad that some people have nothing better to do than criticize others. It’s not a great way to live, in my opinion.
Dude, you’re letting a troll get to you.
A cable tie would be great.
This appears to be in poor condition.
Secure??
Hey guys, I really think this is legit and she genuinely believes she did a great job 😆
Honestly, besides the clamp that could be hidden above the ceiling, I don’t see any code violations. How it looks is just a matter of personal preference. I personally like emt better, but a whip works too.
You’re making excellent progress! First try looks good. Keep learning and stay careful
What on earth?!
Way to go!
A new generation is on the way. What’s the code for that? 🙁
The new generation is approaching. What code are we talking about here? 🙁
