Post-lunch pop in.... I'm trying to get things done before soccer practice later this afternoon because, afterward, we have Bingo night at the school.

11/5 -3: Thanks all for the good vibes. It was good that tiggs was in town today to work. My first task was to re-do a panel. A new co-worker did it badly wrong. Had appliance been installed and turned on they would have burned out. And one of the biggest no no's of an electrician, do not let anything be powered up without the neutral. Lives were at stake and no one knew it. I shut off the whole house until it was under control and then started bringing back power one breaker at a time, as other construction people needed it. Wow, just wow.

Just popping in between chores to see what the rest of the family is up to and have a quick suck on the binkie. Now I'm gone again...
Does that guy look like he might be a farmer?

@mac63 are your shorter 2 and 3 day work weeks a good thing or a bad thing? A couple weeks of that would be fine with hubby but then he would be wanting to get back to a full week lol

Sort of good I guess. I have a bunch of use or lose time - need to use it by early Jan or I lose it and I've never lost any leave time.

I like Christmas lights and icicles adorning all the houses.....They're so festive looking....it's always kinda gloomy and depressing when Christmas is over and the lights all come down. Makes for a long dark Winter ...wish the pretty lights (but not the Walmart Christmas Songs on-a-loop ) would stay up all year round

11/5 - 6: A warning from tiggs, I have been hit with the 277 three wire/wild. At that level you must have the strength to pull off, the angels were watching over me; as the lighting was going through me. Like a billiard ball going on in my mind, lights shuttering off and on at milliseconds. I pulled off some 3-4 seconds later. The scar is on my body forever.
The next level up, you better hope someone is near you and beats you down with a 2 by 4, you will not let go; no matter how strong you are. If you ever see someone being electrocuted do not touch them, DO NOT TOUCH THEM! Kick down the ladder, hit them with a baseball bat, but never touch them.
Want to pay the least you can, get what you get. Not trying to prop myself up, but there are many out there who do not understand. Example: My master asked me about grounding and bonding, without using the words in the rule book. I did so after just two years under my belt. He told me "Congratulations you know more than 90% of electricians out there."
Just like today, there are many there who do it just for a job; there are others who care. That being said, what is in your house can be deadly under the right circumstances. If the neutral is gone and the device is powered, you are the return to ground. Copper is used because it is the closest to resistance of human skin.
Dang there is too much to say in such a post, too many rules et all. It was scary to see so many under deadly circumstances.
If you doubt what is going on, ask me; my care is for life. If a house burned down, or life were lost; it would be me who would be under prosecution. I do what is right, and train what is right to those under me.
Good night to all, sleep well, rest well, do all things well.

I hear ya Tigg and know how you feel. You're damned lucky to be alive! I took 480 VAC through my wrist watch band one day while wiring/testing at a shipyard. Ouch! But when we got sent to a sawmill in Port Gamble, Washington to do a whole-facility power survey, I stupidly climbed a ladder with wet sawdust on it to read a label on a vent motor up at the roof. My partner said a blue arc from the incoming power wires reached out to my back and I woke up in a pile of sawdust at the bottom - 12,470 VAC! I have no idea why I am still alive. It made me believe there really might be angels...

It is good to know there are still people out there who care that they do a good job @tiggerrts . It is just really scarey to hear that folks who literally hold other people's lives in their hands, don't take the time or don't even know how to do the job right. I have had to learn some painful lessons on what happens when you try to cut corners...or don't ask for help. But in those cases, it was only me who got hurt, and got lucky ...to live to tell about it. I'm glad the angels were watching over you,Tiggs. Unfortunately, it makes news more times than I care to think about..all those lives who were lost.
