Well, whether it’s good, bad, or ugly.
Show us what you’ve got once you finish with the feeders inside.
I feel clueless about this – why do single phase panels have 4 conductor colors?
Austin’s mind is blown, dude! They only let me play with black, red, blue, brown, orange, and yellow.
Varying voltages.
I know these colors too. Make sure you guys stay safe with those cables.
Hey there! How are you today and what’s the current weather like over there? I’m really interested in being your friend, but I’ve been having trouble sending you a request. If you don’t mind, could you send me a request or message me on messenger so we can learn more about each other? Thank you.
Please go away.
Red blue yellow black orange purple what the heck?
You missed some. I have tracer cables in black, red, blue, brown, orange, yellow, purple, pink, gray, and white for low voltage. Hopefully, they’ll introduce new colors soon
There’s shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Fried, stir-fried, deep fried. Pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That’s pretty much it.
It’s like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you’re gonna get
Off to a good start.
Hey there, how’s it going? I’m curious about the weather where you are. I’ve been trying to send you a friend request but it’s not going through. Could you try sending me a request or message me on messenger so we can chat more? Thanks!
I’m considering a sleek mechanical look but I’m unsure about the color scheme.
Is part of that all-inclusive rainbow panel. ‘t be suspicious.
That’s my specialty. I have initiated numerous times.
I’m digging , it makes identification easier, I’m just staying resilient
I really like the PVC to prevent shorting out
Remember to stay resilient
You are incredibly rude and your arrogance is coming through
Would totally kick your butt in a house
Wow, that’s quite a confident statement!
You really don’t know much about my skills or experience…
It seems like you get linked quite often!
Shh 🤫
Hey, did Austin tell you that he couldn’t troubleshoot an arc fault using his hydraulic knockout set, or that he was having trouble with shunt trip breakers on an anzul system with FI protection? Oh, and I totally nailed a 480 install with a step-down transformer yesterday!
Austin, wait, are you saying those wires identify as “they” and “them”?
Would it be better to use 2” EMT instead of PVC?
I don’t have the final say on materials, I offer input but don’t make the decision.
That implies you have to connect everything together though.
Why not go with rigid instead?
That’s the kind of thing I’m interested in..
It’s also pricier, trickier to handle, and completely unnecessary. Why increase costs and complexity?
Because it’s more cost-effective and requires less labor?
People tend to be more careless when it’s not their own money being spent.
It’s interesting how everyone praises rigid without really understanding its purpose.
PVC is not my first choice, but in certain situations, like commercial pools or areas with corrosive environments, it can be necessary.
The union electrician mentioned that he just wants to waste time all day.
We finally have a winner in this harsh environment. I just need to elaborate more on the reasons.
Can you explain the reasons why it would be better?
Noting that pvc is toxic in case of a fire and not permitted in hospitals
Curious about this location
Exploring the wild west. undisclosed. USA 🇺🇸
Speculated about being near the coast.
I cherished my time on each coast. Bless America.
Discussing salt.
You only need to bond the can if it was an internal knockout. Make sure to bond the can, but not the pipes. I’m not sure where you are, maybe things are different there.
Is rigid also pricier and more challenging to handle? Are you a pro at it?
Can you tell me why did that?
Is really saving on the cost of grounding bushings and wire, haha.
The fourth choice is inexpensive but has a classic charm that I really like.
Did Justin arman do a great job on that project? You must be a skilled framer.
Hey there! How are you doing today? How’s the weather where you are? I’m really interested in being your friend, but I’ve tried sending you a request a few times and it’s not going through. Could you try sending me a request or message me on Messenger so we can get to know each other better? Thank you so much!
Not attractive.
This project is still in progress
Are we ever truly done, ?
Not seeing any grounding happening? Maybe it’s just the angle of the picture
I don’t usually take pictures of finished work, but I think I might have one that shows how everything is grounded. It’s important to have the right size conduit to carry the amperage down to the ground bar.
Hey Austin, you’re basically implicating yourself.
Hey Austin dude, make sure to always keep track of the dates you work and take photos of your completed projects.
I am really grateful for this amazing platform and the opportunities provided by Mrs. Damaris. Thank you so much, ma’am! 📉📈👇👇👇 Damaris Ava
When you have to leave the apprentice for an emergency service call 🚨
Apprentices at need to grab some food too, man!
Hey dude, make sure to meditate for 15 minutes every day in Austin.
Is not to be trusted when they skip meals. Keep an eye on those guys.
Hey Austin, I totally get where you’re coming from, man. I opened up my shop for a reason, you know? I’ve learned that it’s important to look out for your crew. When you uplift someone, their loyalty is truly invaluable.
Hey Austin, this isn’t cool. I need to apologize to the CMs and my boss on site won’t be happy with their raise this year.
What seems to be the problem? The PVC at the bottom?
EMT IS THE WAY TO O
Larios maybe it’s best to take a break from bending for now, everything will be fine.
Larios that’s not a good idea to do on the Florida coast.
I installed pvc all over Florida and the third-party inspectors had no issues with it. Chicago can be so particular sometimes.
Dude, PVC all the way. Are you a plumber or what?
I notice PVC in exposed panels, it’s better to address it rather than ignore it.
Are bushings not good? Can’t level now, need to pull the wire.
Here’s another photo of a work in progress
That’s where all the action is happening – ‘s halfway through his stuff.
Inspectors always make sure to thoroughly check everything on the job.
Had to choose between good, bad, or ugly. Didn’t meet the challenge, Mr. Well. But please provide code so I can improve my skills.
You didn’t catch any of them.
This is just SO BAD
&
AWFUL
Thank you so much for your support and kindness, I truly appreciate it. I received my investment profit as usual, and I am grateful for the opportunity to invest in your company. od bless you, sir. – Stewart Kuschner
Do you know who was in charge of the layout?
When you’re working underground, you might come across existing footers where you need to install stub ups. And sometimes you’ll need to make space for forms. In both situations, it’s totally fine to use a hot box to bend your conduit.
Austin dude, I’ve done a ton of underground work and whatever excuse you have, there’s a solution. You’re either not prepared or just lazy 🤷♂️
Sorry dude.
So you’re suggesting core drilling this slab to make it straight? I admit I’m trying to be as lazy as possible, no doubt. But without a code reference or an explanation of your solution, I’m still in the dark. I’m not claiming to be ill-prepared, and neither is the elderly lady.
I understand the issue.
You may not be familiar with the code or how footings are required in it.
Still waiting to hear how someone proactive and well-prepared would have approached this task. Provide a reference to the code. We’re all curious.
It’s not an NEC regulation.
But I doubt you know that
There’s a lot I still don’t know Maxi my boy.
But you probably wouldn’t know that.
Looking at these pictures, I can tell.
Hey Max, just a heads up – there’s a lot of danger around you, unless you’re aware of something I’m missing, PVC man. All those new work boxes are made from PVC, and x isn’t much better either.
This training needs to be done in person. It’s really terrible.
Responding to a post about using an offset on 2 inch EMT without the need for ground bushings and with a lot more grounding – this looks good to me as a 30-year power ranger ✌️✌️✌️
Maybe avoid putting PVC on the top
Not too shabby up to this point
I wonder why the feeders are never installed in these pictures.
Mehus keep scrolling, dude, appreciate you checking out my work.
I typically start by installing the feeders.
No doubt.. whenever the circumstances permit.
So far, so good
I hope that’s not the final result.
Now they stopped selling the finished product at the supply house in my area. You have to assemble everything like a puzzle. I will appreciate any donations as I am going to need some help
Isn’t it your responsibility to ensure the panels are finished properly? It’s not cool to post pictures of unfinished work. Come on, man 🤦♂️
Hey, did the electrician step out for a smoke break and leave you in charge? Nice try with the broom!
That stuff goes against American values.
I’m not a big fan of the exposed PVC, but everything else looks great
Using PVC for commercial purposes? Not sure about that. But at least it’s schedule 80.
Isn’t into business.
What is the deal with PVC?
Why don’t you
Indoor vibes
Storing the propane tanks next to the electrical panels? Hmm, not the best idea.
Hmm, , it seems risky with those hot panels nearby
Appears to be sub panels for a marijuana cultivation facility
Not good. I don’t think PVC can be installed indoors.
Actually, , you’re mistaken
Hey , what happens to PVC when it catches fire?
Hey, , are you saying that all the new single gang PVC boxes in every American home are incorrect, so to say?
No content
Hey there,
I was actually picturing it exposed in an electrical room.
I never mentioned residential spaces.
Seems like that’s more your style.
Improper use of PVC, that’s a fail.
Can you provide a reference for ‘s code?
Hey , do you know where they constantly use plastic? It’s no surprise they have apprentices handling everything.
Lives in Florida.
A bigger project that’s off to a good start.
What about Pvc?
Is concerned about corrosion.
Is struggling to understand the application.
Sure, here is the rephrased text:
Nice
Great
The use of PVC is prohibited in buildings, particularly in open plenum ceilings. It is toxic, not in line with electric codes, and goes against fire codes in New Jersey and Philadelphia
Hey remember that time we had that train and chemicals incident? They really need to be more careful with that stuff.
$$$$$$
My main issue is that you connected directly to the breakers without leaving any extra slack on each circuit. It’s important to be able to move a circuit to a different breaker if needed. If you have to move it to the other side, you’ll end up splicing extra wire, which nobody wants to do.
Gutter just a few feet away, my dude
Hey Austin, check out the picture of the box on the far left. The wires are coming out of the wall and going straight down to the box through the gutter, with no slack visible or rolled up.
‘t slack on the gutter unless you want to cause a mess. In 10 years, new panels will be installed and every wire will be spliced. Nothing is meant to last in this building.
You know, , there’s this really cool thing called wire nuts that lets you connect a bunch of wires together. If you need to move it somewhere else, just pull it up into the gutter and add a longer piece of wire.
PVC should be okay.
Ugh, PVC is a pain… 😒
Is this near the beach? In Florida, maybe?
Thinks it sounds like a dream.
Mrs. Damaris Ava has been a tremendous support to me and my family. I initially signed up for the basic plan, and within a week, I saw positive results. Her precision and dependability are unmatched. I will definitely keep sharing the good work you do!
If it’s well-organized, up to code, and safe for the next person, does it truly matter how aesthetically pleasing it is?
Not bad for what you had, those budget stores…
It appears to be in good condition
Smart… pvc
I always thought pvc was only used in concrete and outdoor locations. Not indoors unless damp or wet. Pvc is a major fire hazard and highly toxic
I can’t believe how terrible the new generation of Electricians is. The cost savings just aren’t there. It’s all about greed and lacking self-respect or professionalism. PVC should be concealed.
