Man love seeing thing like this I’m a year and half apprentice working for Generac super center installing generator the same way just we use pvc pipe but everything else the same. Love seeing people show pride in there work!
Thanks I really appreciate it, I really enjoyed install my first Generator I learned a lot. How is it working with Generac? Congratulations on your journey to Brother!👍🏽
reallyenjoy your content, Ive applied to become an apprentice electrician with ESB here in Ireland, hoping to make this my living one day
Mack That’s amazing! How is the process in Ireland? Keep taking one day at a time somebody will give you an opportunity.. Thanks again for the support!🙏🏽
That is an excellent install,the only thing that I would do differently is I would have bent that 3/4" emt with the 1¹/⁴" bender so the radius would match .
Thank you James, I didn’t know we could do something like that. But you’re right it probably would have looked a little better now that you say that. Thanks again for the support & advice!👍🏽
Just stick with it man I guarantee you it WILL pay off !
Appreciate it Andy! One Day At A Time..🙏🏽
Keep it up man, I've been a journeyman for 6 years and still can't bend 1 1/4" that great haha.
Appreciate it Brother, I’m trying..😂
Appreciate it Brother, I’m trying..😂
Stephen, you are doing excellent. God bless.
@@bradsrestorations1085 I really do appreciate it Brad, One day at a time!🙏🏽
Good job bro💪 keep it up I am a month in into my apprenticeship can’t wait to keep on learning
Congratulations Bro, Keep taking it day by day.. You Got This!👍🏽
You’re an inspiration bro gonna watch all your videos🙏
I appreciate it Brother, I have a lot to learn just taking it day by day..🙏🏽
Great video. You could also get some small locknut wretches to tighten the locknut inside the generator
I appreciate it Jamison, I’ll have to check them out so far it’s just been my Kleins & a beater flat head.. Thanks for the advice & support!👍🏽
Keep up the great work son...... It will definitely pay off...
Yes sir, I appreciate it.. One Day At a Time..🙏🏽
Keep up the good work…
@@juanaguiar5222 Thank You!🙏🏽
Also, get a hydraulic punch - milwaukee is great for sure but you can grab a hydraulic one for around $100
I’ll definitely look into it, I appreciate it!👍🏽
Very nice work! keep at it and you will succeed.
Thank you Shawn I appreciate man!👍🏽
Dude, your JW should have had you use 90s off the pipe and into the back of the Gen.
I’m not sure why we didn’t that’s just what he wanted to do..
Thanks man 👍, did you take the resi install class with kohler?
@@sly5855 No sir I haven’t took any install classes, just on the job training. So far I’ve only installed 2 Kohlers.. Thanks for the support!🙏🏽
I been a while for me I haven’t watch your content you came a long way bro!! Question I am currently at my early 40’s how long would it take me to become a electrician besides going to a apprenticeship
Thanks for the support! They have so many options but if you’re doing electrical and you want to get your journeyman license one day you will have do your 4 year apprenticeship. They also have Generators Techs, HVAC Techs. But if you don’t have alot of experience you kind of have to start from the bottom & work your way up..👍🏽
What about The unit is it running off a gas line are diesel fuel?
@@baptiste19699691 If I’m not mistaken I think it was Propane!
Great video and great job! When searching for work did you primarily look online or did you go door to door? I’m currently wanting to get into the trade and I feel like applying online with zero experience in the trade is negatively impacting my chances right now.
Appreciate Shawn! I felt the same way when I was applying on indeed, nobody called me or emailed me.. I looked in my local area and called every electrical company & I went to a place in my local area which is called IEC. I went and applied and they send your application/resume to local contractors and I finally got a call back.. Thats how I got my first opportunity. Let me know how it goes Shawn!👍🏽
Good work. Just wondering other that the big EMT that comes off the meter into the transfer switch, what inside those two smaller EMT from the transfer switch. Looking forward to your response.
Thanks for the support Brother, Hopefully I read your question right but in the 3/4 Conduit we have our control wires & in the 1 1/4 we have our four conductors. 2 hots, neutral & a ground… Hope I answered your question.. Thanks again!👍🏽
@@TheApprenticeToJourneyman Thanks for your response .. can I assume since the control wire is not shielded that's why they are in a separate emt?
@@richstarstar it was definitely shielded, I’m not sure the exact reason but I’ll ask my journeyman tomorrow & give you a better answer on why we did it like that!👍🏽
Did you just apply somewhere as an apprentice? Or are you in trade school ? 30 yr old right here trying to get into this career.
I applied to a place called IEC, Then someone called me for an interview and that’s how I got started. Someone will definitely give you an opportunity. If I were you I would go ahead and get your electrical apprentice license so you’ll already have it. Hope that helps some!
Wow? Is your Journeyman a licensed *Master Electrician (ME 01’ license)? What license does your Journeyman have?
Yes sir he is!
is this union or service
I’m currently non union..👍🏽
