As a Junior in high school looking forward to going into an electrician trade after high school your channel definitely helps me visualize what’s to come, keep it up!
If you take the wires, pull them tight, and run the handle of your linemans over them, it will straighten the wires out beautifully!! Helps to make it look neater!
Great video brotha. Im also a first year apprentice and I can relate to your struggles. I can tell by how appreciative you are that you have been through some sh!t. It’s great that you have men/support system to go to in times of need. Remember god gives his hardest battles to his strongest warriors.
@@SharkcitySparky I really appreciate it Brother, it’s definitely been some ups & downs but I know God will always push me through & My grandmother is always looking down on me. Keep grinding on your journey & you’ll have your journeyman’s license in know time. You Got This!🙏🏽
Hi dude. Nice connections on the terminals. By code you can only have 2 cables in a romex connector. Looks like you had them all running through one big connector on the top of the panel. The 1/2” black button romex connectors are nice for panel installations. Quick and easy. Keep working hard and stick with the electrical! 15 years in, master and still going.
The neatness is on point even though you didn’t have those tie straps you still did an excellent work in the panel. As an electrician myself I too have had to do some work on customers home and they were impressed with the quality of my work.
@@michaelsglas Thanks Brother for the kind words, it’s know better feeling than taking pride in your work. Keep Grinding Brother & take it one day at a time.
Definitely worth it to get a cordless fan for these hot days. If your journeyman is standing near you, you can go for the new m18 drum fan or go for the ridgid 18V for 50 bucks less (if you have the batteries). If you're working on separate things pick up some little ones and each of you can enjoy one. Pays for itself on the first use. Keep up the good work 🤟🏻
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL Yes sir, I think that would be a great idea to get a fan but I think the Milwaukee one was like $100, hopefully in the future I can get one.. Thanks for the support & Advice!👍🏽
I don’t have one of those Milwaukee fans or ridgid ones but I got one of those fan pockets that slips underneath the clothes and it has came in handy so much . If you wanna get one of those . It was like $40 on Amazon and it has a light on it too.
what a great vid men. honestly hearing you speak about the struggle was real imma a second year almost wanna quit and i ask God if this is for me. He should give me a sign and he brought your vid to me. never quit even in the hardest time he's just putting you to the test. honestly thanks for the vid. And may God to bless your good works i really appreciate men. from Canada
@@joelonuigbo1446 Thank you Joel, I definitely understand your struggle but God will always make a way.. Trust and Believe! We Got This Brother, Keep your head up..🙏🏽
@@coreyreeb I appreciate the support Corey! Glad some of them have been helpful for you.. I’m non union, but I have heard good things about the union! You Got This..👍🏽
Great Vid Bro looking forward for more of your apprenticeship journey btw.. Isn't that not a ground to neutral connection bar I see there I heard u said it wasn't connected
@@thatboy8688 I appreciate the support Brother, I have a long way to go..🙏🏽 Yes sir there was a ground and neutral bar but this wasn’t the first means of disconnect so I had to separate them..!
It seems you had the space and wasnt an issue but in the future you can land two ground wires of the same size under one bolt on the ground bar 👍🏻 nice work man
Hey I’m someone interested in the field but was wondering how well the pay is. Of course it’s different in every area but I was wanting to speak further than comments
Ima graduate next year and I have a question. when you start an apprenticeship at a union the one I’m interested in is ibew do you need a car to start an apprenticeship?
@@dtbtrench1153 To be honest with you if you could find a small cash car to get you back and forth that would probably be the best only if you can, just so your not depending on anyone else to take you. If not maybe your local Buses could work until you’re able to purchase your first car.👍🏽
Hey brother my name is Charles Persaud I recently graduated from trade school was wondering what should I do to a job in the field. I’ve been applying to IBEW, Calling companies asking if they need helpers and sending out my resume to companies. Most companies want at least a year of experience which I’m trying to get but is hard because nobody isn’t giving me the opportunity to get it.
@@CharlesPersaud-sr5ts How you doing Charles, Congratulations on graduating from trade school that’s a huge achievement. I understand your struggle of trying to figure out what to do, I would still continue to apply at IBEW I believe it’s a longer process but well worth it. For the local companies If calling isn’t working I would actually go to the shop and introduce yourself face to face.. I believe that would make a great impression.. You Got This!👍🏽
Glory to God brother, I look up to you as a young apprentice that’s new to the trade. Keep pursuing Jesus Christ and righteousness and he’ll take us further than we could ever imagine.
@@1faithCJ Thank you for the support CJ, I’m just doing my part & sharing my journey the ups and downs. Glad some of the videos are helpful, We always have to keep him first & trust that everything will be ok.. 🙏🏽

Hey Stephen, thanks for making these helpful videos. I'm considering the trade, myself. Is your apprenticeship through a company or a union? Thanks!

Keep your head up and continue to take it day by day.

Looks great man. Only thing is why use that big KO and not use romex connectors?
