- I always show you guys my jobs that are nice and pretty and work with no issues. Today we’ll be going over what it really looks like some days. Mess after mess some days. This was a realistic day, thought I was going home early and I ended up doing over time. Haha! #electrician #femaleelectrician #lextheelectrician #construction #commercialelectrician #bluecollar #electricianlife #fypシ #milwaukeetools #3phase
Hello Lexi, I’m a journeyman electrician too as well. Not easy for a woman to do that type of work I’ve been doing it since 96. Keep up the good work. PS I love your freckles beautiful
Respect, we need more electricians. Thank you for increasing visibility to this vital (and lucrative) career path.
You really work very regularly and determinedly. By the way, the hand tools and materials you use are of very high quality. It is very difficult for us to have them in Turkey. I wish I could do the electrical technician job I did in your country.
Murphys Laws if something will go wrong it will go wrong times 600 just gotta keep moving forward n sending it bro! you got this g!
You rock girl keep kicking butt out there
When I first started doing handyman electric, I started getting a ton of commercial jobs where I cleaned up after a contractor who got hooked on meth. Loose connections, nicked wires from overstuffed conduit, undersize wires. He helped me buy my first house.
I'm currently working a desk job, in my mid-30s, and have been pondering switching careers to Electrician. I'm sure I would need to get in better shape (not fat, just dormant) but otherwise, from your experience would you recommend this move? I make $70k now, and really good at my job, but am just bored with computer work.
@@smileychess Approach an apartment complex and offer to repair/replace broken outlets and switches. I fixed clothes dryers on the side that people paid me to haul off. I had a friend with a store who would let me sell the appliances there. He would display them, and later split the money with me. Later on, learn to add new circuits, heavy circuits for dryers in garages and 50amp circuits for electric vehicle charging. Read and learn.
That ground as a neutral! What the heck. Insane
The junction box inside the wall. Lovely. The best is when you find wires spliced inside conduit.
Mad respect to electricians that know wtf they doing! Well done!
The life of a sparky. ❤
Your fire ❤. I’m an apprentice so I enjoy watching your videos
I'm a lead software engineer, and my day-to-day also involves a lot of cleaning up other peoples messes. I've always wanted to know more about electrical work, and i find your videos fascinating... even if I don't understand half the things you say and have to look them up 😆
And that but tho
@@BLACKWITHAGUNmy man you’re just horny, not saying there ain’t anything there but she’s wearing cargo pants 90% of the time
How is software engineering in about to go into university to study Cs but realised I might do an apprenticeship in electrical as I tried out trade work and it’s really fun
Every time I go to a service call (HVAC technician) I have to make one of two decisions: 1, Do I just go and work on what I was asked to work on? or 2, do I start working on all the other hundreds of problems that I see while on call. It's a hard balance. Crazy there was a bare copper as a neutral. Some people don't understand how hot, neutral, and ground work that's for sure.
When I retired back in 2014 I went back to college got AAS degree in computer science to test out into a service/fix-it position. I started getting a lot of GIG jobs and saw the exact same stuff you just showed, awful quality workmanship. It meant that 2 hour job ended up taking all day.
I loved the real-life scenarios it was pretty awesome what other contractors due
You have a interesting job hopefully you love your work
I am proud of you. I do a great job. Keep it up
You are very awesome hope my daughter turns out like you I’ve been in the trade since I was young but I run hvac jobs I do some electrical and plumbing just depends lol but you are awesome keep up a good job
I was drilling holes in a bathroom wall to install a handicap handhold for my (then) wife. Only place to install it was directly above the light switch. One hole I drilled was just a fraction of an inch off. With a flash and a bang, my drill bit was literally vaporized and we didn't have any lighting in our master bathroom for a couple of days until I could carefully cut away the sheetrock to expose the Romex I'd drilled into ... which had been stapled to the side of the 2x4 I was trying to drill into.
😂 that’s where it always is
Shit happens man, your drilling on the blind, you don't know what's back there!
Nicely elaborate scope, I need that tracing tool tho. Plz send link.
Oh also damn how about that Easter egg hunt
I love that you do it right with a smile! You are going to be very successful in your trade. Just by the way set up your panel box says a lot about.
Hey girl! love ur work! I've seen u on Tiktok. U do an Awesome job! Thanks for making these vids & posts!
How do you like your wire tracer tool? Which one is that? 👍🍻
Keep up the Awesome work!
What state are you in? Why aren't they running MC or conduit for a commercial building? How can a GFI be using a ground as a neutral and still be functioning?
As a controls contractor project manager after you finish wiring up the the transducer, here's the risk points that i see happening next.
A sensor that isn't bilateral will be supplied that can only measure positive pressure, which won't be suitable for a vacuum pump. They will assume the controls contractor will perform startup of the VFD, and not a certified startup factory rep qualified to issue a formal startup report. Controls contractor may start up the VFD anyways and improperly program the high voltage setting causing the motor to burn up over the next ~1-2 of its life
Ray of sunshine ☀️
Hope your hustle gets you millions. I never truly wanted to learn this shit til the algorithm blessed me with your fine ass.
I thought every switch box needed to be served by a nuetral? Shouldn't it have been a 12/3 to begin with run to that box? Aren't switch loops with 2 wire not allowed anymore?
All in a days adventure! Adversity = challenge = gratification!
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Why can’t you just pig tail the neutral like the hot was on the gfci and then use the ground correctly for each gfci? Why does it need a new wire?
Good job and looking lovely lady 💜
Thanks for the hard work
It's always sunny when Lexi is working.
Really enjoy watching your vids such inspiration watching a beautiful woman working this trade and the knowledge you bring to us. Keep up the good work!
Loving the videos keep up the good work 👏
You are the best!!
One thing that is certain in the professional contracting world is that shit like this happens.
I believe you are a very good skills professional 👏 🤙🤙😎
Sounds like fun 😅. Whatever can go wrong will.
Sounds like you are going to have a great day, sorry to hear.🤔
I hope your getting a major extra for all this work!!!!............
Gracias por compartir 👍 maximo respeto y mucha vibra positiva 😎
Not sure how the field devices would have been left off of the original scope. Looks like an oversight. Good work on the controls person who tied a line break detection into the program.
Where did you receive your training from ?? 😊
Dope content shawty
Is it true all electrians dont clean up after them selves?
It’s always something with the other trades 😂
Do not understand what you termed unshielded ground for the neutral circuit. Saw the bare ground wire illegally used for now called the grounded conductor. I used to do service calls at two old car washes. Mold everywhere and damp. If one luminare was out owner would call up and said he had a big emergency so stopped doing work for the man who called everything an emergency and got mad if I took more then halve hour getting there.
Monday bullsheeit... Just use a wire stretcher on the #12 Romex....
I like that tracer. What kind is that?
It's amazing, It's the "Klein circuit tracer" costs like 239$, does everything the "IDEAL suretrace" that costs like 1300$
I remember the first time I saw 14/2 wire being used for a 3-way switch. The ground was the traveler🤣 It was an old house and I'm sure that's how they used to do it back then. Or someone just got lazy💯🤷
I have been thinking of becoming an electrician
Through experiences we learn for " The man with the experience is never at the mercy to the man with just the knowledge." Good thing they hire you to do this job God alone know what problems eventually would have pop up.
You're doing great ❤ keep breathing
Strange. Never heard them called photo eyes. We always called them photocells
If the wires for the garage doors need to be water tight then why not properly run wire that is long enough to reach instead of splicing. Seems half assed. Better long than wrong.
local 760 love the work you do very good job !
Hate it when you start the day thinking it’s going to be an easy day and it turns into a shit show.
Been there brother. The bottleneck because we fuckin forgot a reducing bushing or some shit is infuriating
Gerçeten çok başarılı ve düzenli azimli çalışan bir teknisyensiniz tebrikler bu arada kullandığınız el takımları ve makinalar çok güzel.Türkiyede bu malzemelere sahip olmak çok zor
Notice how someone put a junction box in the wall . Code violation
I’m calling the police
It will be fine
Lmfaoooooooo
Big NO NO. The ground wire is creating more path for current to flow.
F u OSHA go somewhere else
Im glad I chose high voltage ALOT less bs
Smells like a change order😉
Good job ❤
What’s the tracer your using
I think I’m in love.
How old is that building?
Love and respect from India 🇮🇳… ❤️✌️
Current transducer also called a CT
Amazing what you can find inside walls
Bare earth wire as the neutral, how has the house not gone up in flames 🔥?
Everything will turn out A-Okay after you’re finished ; )
Is this your dads company?
❤❤❤
Neutrals Carey current. Grounds don't. Lot of hacks out there.
Where are you located ?
Looks like they hired the right person to figure out and then know how to repair past unsafe wiring hack jobs. How someone could use the bare ground wire as a neutral, I find that quite unsettling.
I had electrician give me s*** one time cuz I was taking weekly reports photos and used the flash when he was in the panel!
Yeah so. Wad the panel live?
@@rustynunya4630 I can't remember it was a CVS Pharmacy I was building
@@rustynunya4630 the more I think about it I don't think it was live he was just telling me for future use
In love❤😊😂
Sounds like some extras $$
😍😍😍
Ah one of those days… I hate those days
😂😂😂 the fucking cable guy
Hey Cousin NYC, fyi just in case you ever encountered this, never ever walk/sit on top of ventilation. 35 years as President of Properties in NYC. I have witnessed death because union employees get too comfortable with their job
I’m surprised you can use Romex in a commercial building.
I think I am in love…..
So beautiful
Drill bits double as wire finders.
The worst thing about service and remodels is trying to safely do your work without redoing the whole system. Electrical and plumbing are expensive. Lots of cheap unlicensed contractors leaving horrible shit behind the walls or buried in the ground.
its crazy how common code violations like that are
Felt the struggle
Lexi ❤
Beautiful woman and hard working too damn....
Good job 👏
Comment for the algorithm.
Que linda tu eres. ❤😊
Why do people put the wrong wires in like that? They know damn well it's the wrong wire.
💪🏾
wow... that's crazy
😍❤️❤️😍😍❤️❤️😍
One thing I've noticed is if you say it will be a a quick easy job 8/10 times, it turns into a shit show 😂
