I'm getting out of the military in a couple of years, so I'm trying to explore all my options before committing to something else. My gf is also planning on joining, which further complicates things ha But I might very well might still pursue electrician.

In residential service work I’m always going in tight places in addicts to either run wire are make junctions (keep in my these addicts get up to about 160 degrees hot in them during the summer depending on where you live) .

How come u had to buy the boxes?

[@DailyElectrician]

I didn't personally buy them, I bought them through my company. Either with our company account at the store, or my company credit card. Needed them for the job that day.

[@TheCoffeeNut711]

Jesus, this looks like rocket science to me. How long does it take to feel confident you can do this project?

[@DailyElectrician]

Just depends how often you repeat the things you want to do. How quickly you can remember and repeat tasks. Could be days, weeks, months, years, etc.

Nice video man! You should use your electrician skills/knowledge and make tutorials for aspiring electricians

Thank you, I have made a few but I will make more when I build a house! :)

Nice man! that would be a good time to make some videos. But even tutorials of wiring at a smaller scale would be nice

This is way way softer work than being an electrician here in the philippines, and on top of that the salary is way lower.

[@DailyElectrician]

sorry to hear that ;(

If I knew civil works, everything would be better, however it fulfills its function.
