Even though I don't have the appropriate California license, I think I'm going to start doing all the three phase wiring at my customer's sites.

True, I'm not qualified. But fair is fair. If sparkie thinks that all low-voltage is the same, then I can certainly play that game with his subpanel.

I mean, how hard can it be? I've got three spools of THHN and all the knowledge I need. It's white to silver, black to gold and a ground wire, right? wink

Hang in there, Hal. We need all the soldiers we can get.

i work for a small school district, one of our sites the janitor is a jack of all trades. I know i have gig switches in my closet and i was working on a computer and i saw it was only connecting at 10, now the machine had a gig card. i asked the janitor if the network drop had ever been moved, he said yup and very proudly showed me his splice made with marettes and black tape.

i told him never to touch the wiring again or i would start doing propane work!

I would be willing to bet that the GC would have simply called around until (not if) he found someone, somewhere that would be more than willing to use the existing junk to make it work.

Guaranteed! I'll bet you anything that when I confront him he'll have the crust to say that he never had a problem before. He'll just get his guy to do it.

Maybe that's what I should do. Drill down through the floor in the office where his runs come out of the wall and and stick my 8 home runs up through it. Then I'll UY onto his and leave a big knot right where a desk is going to be. Then again why waste UYs. Wire nuts are the standard for this kind of work. aok

Sort of, Jim. When I said no, I pointed him to the EC on the job. They let him tag along on their permit for the low, low price of $500.00. Old "Leon" surely lost money on that job. The customer was aware of what was going on, but that $30.00 was more important to them.

Reporting people in the corrupt city of Washington, DC is nearly impossible. Sitting on hold and dealing with "atti-tood" is too much. Their on-line forms simply result in an automated reply stating: "Your message has been received and you will receive a response within 15 days". The replies never come. I have some complaints filed with them that are over two years old. The whole city is a joke.

They can sure hunt you down for a fifteen year-old parking ticket though! :rofl:

There was a time years ago in telecom that I thought everyone else had it easy and somehow I was just cursed with all the bad crap. Especially, lazy, lying, stealing, stupid, manipulating techs.

When I finally found out that all I was going through was the norm, everything changed. Kind of strange. As long as I know everyone else goes through the same unnecessary, frustrating and stupid crap .... it isn't so bad!
