Full Saturday Day in the Life

[@HBSuccess]

Lex your cleanup and clean work habits are impressive. It’s hard to find trades, especially sparkies who clean up after themselves. The guy who taught me required that we scrapped and cleaned as we went so at the end of the day there was almost nothing to do to leave a pristine jobsite.

[@r3mii-CL]

When I did took up electrical out teacher would deduct marks for an unclean area. Then I worked for this one company and all that went out the window. Picked up bad habits, now I’m generally a clean person, but working around people that don’t clean up made it annoying.

[@TheOnefalcon07]

I had a sparky come in a few years ago to do a few things (me and electricity don't mix) and he left a mess everywhere he went 🤣

[@minty2340]

Hey 30 yr old dude here. Been flipping through the internet looking at career options and electrician seems to call me a bit. My 10 year old daughter wants me to click on your videos when they pop up. We’ve seen maybe 3 or 4 and I think I’m gonna join an apprenticeship. Thank you for the positive insight into the profession and showing my daughter a hard working woman!

[@natalial.5577]

Get yourself a NFPA 70 electrical code book and read that along with an electrician quiz app you'll be good with that starting off. Good luck 👍

[@britneygolston9463]

Would you please make a video explaining your journey of becoming an electrician? I love your videos!! Also, if a women wants to start a career in the trades how would you start? What advice would you give?

[@nohely3141]

I was wondering the same! I'd love a video like that!

[@Rage57350]

You could probably get hired as an apprentice, otherwise you could try a 2yr trade school. It's really not that difficult to get into, all you need is a little ambition, oh and maybe pretty thick skin because the trades are pretty well dominated by men and well, we can be a bit much at times 🤷🏻‍♂️ good luck to you

[@corpr8dystopia778]

The first she did was apply herself to learning something.

[@b0sscake]

grab tool list and have thick skin. It's a pretty easy job that pays crazy good. Pretty much no heavy lifting if you do residential or pipe bending is a minimum.

[@Batti2323]

Wire is pretty damned heavy, but you can do it.

[@flybywire5866]

That bowl-thing on your drill is genius.

[@gregm1621]

You were raised “right” amazing work ethic!!! I am on the Power Generation side and you’re becoming a legend!!! Way to go Lexi

[@ravonbaines5723]

Amazing work!!! I love watching her videos. She basically is taking us on a tour of her world

[@kayllas617]

More videos like this please!!! Loving the long form content 🫶🏻

[@trishmcelderry4762]

Salute to you, Lexi. Admire your skills. Way to go . I am a blue collar kid with family and friends that work in the trades. I have huge respect for what you are doing. Work safe and take good care of yourself. Trish

[@turrubiartes21ify]

She said “ someone got clapped” 🤣 love your content I’m a journeyman in TX enjoy watching my comrades contents. Stay safe bro!

[@teddyvasquez84]

Really cool how your work vibe is but it's amazing how you treat your work like art and you can see when you feel accomplished after you complete a job 100%. Big fan and keep up the bang up work!

[@kurtzbradley]

Those night lights are the BOMB😊

[@TomHolcombe-fh1kv]

I know you’re not a Saturday person a lot of us aren’t, but I still think you’re doing an awesome job and you get it done that says a lot I wish more women were like you they need to step up and do it

[@flyer7694]

I’m really impressed with your videos, keep up the great work!

[@Papershields001]

I’m a paperhanger and I’m occasionally out doing quick little repair jobs of other people’s work or touch ups on a Saturday. When that guy was like, “ahh you’re just an hour late.” It was giving me angry flashbacks

[@Papershields001]

By the way. I turned my bronco into my work truck and I love that sh**.

[@asaptilla5885]

girl i love the vids cant find any good quality videos on electrical work and you do it all! ps if you drop your car off for something like that and need to pick it up after hours ask to put the keys in the gas cap/door. Got new tires on my jeep then had an emergency shut down to pull some 500s after hours. keep up it up very pretty, hardworking and smart!

[@AugmentedPixel]

I use to wear carharts all the time and recently switched to 5.11 pants so much more comfortable and as strong!

[@getschwifty8449]

Great vlog Lexi. Can't wait to see the next adventure, I know it's tough putting a video together and working.

[@HowdyJP]

Love this type of video! The editing and subtitles were a plus ❤

[@oweng.3102]

You are awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@waynehenson1094]

Looks like my Saturday doing jobs. Great video!

[@dinoantics6060]

What a great video! Lovely to see all that you accomplish in a day and make life better for those who you help! And those lights with night lights too, how cool 👍🏻

[@joedoub]

I see the drywallers lowered the ceiling on you in the hallway I love the lights though I like how you have a soft light feature to them nice job

[@matthewtE]

Diablo makes quality tools 👌 Their cutting/grinding discs last a good while too, with barely any chipping.

[@bentleymitchell5979]

These videos are great, thank you, and keep posting 😊

[@sadekjs]

Deadly post Lex ⚡️⚡️ appreciate you and all the fire content you take the time to make 🤘 merriest christmas to you n your family hope you have an epic holiday season 🎄🎅🎄

[@t1259sw]

Love the lights, I'll put them in my home. Don't worry I'm a 44 year industrial Journeyman Electrician.

[@kbstwn2433]

Thats the thing about knowing electrical. You can always use your skills to bargain. 10 toes to the ground and get your hustle. 👏🏽💯

[@JackT_Music_on_Vinyl]

Gonna look up those led lights with night light! Love those.

[@vincentd123456]

We need more of these longer form vids

[@Anthony-w4z]

Nice work, cool video young lady! Enjoy watching the channel.

[@Batti2323]

That nightlight feature is dope! Great work, Lexi!

[@maxxdv8]

Love seeing a clean work site. This made me think what a day in the life of a millwright would look like, and there would be too many segments of me walking around saying "what the fuck?!"

[@B.r.i.a.n.1]

Those leds with the backlight are really cool!

[@LeonardCooperman]

Lexi, been missing you! Have a wonderful day, love your work ethic! You are a role model to anyone.

[@AugmentedPixel]

We use Milwaukee packouts and roll it in makes everything go so much faster especially with the packout radio! lol

[@sadiporter2966]

i recommend getting a fibreglass work platform, a larger more stable surface to stand on.

[@iNinjaFreakay]

Dude I want these jeans so bad. ANYWAYS: Can you do a more in depth explanation about how you got your start in the trades? I’m just about to start in a Women Build Illinois program and I’m itching to hear about how other people got their start.

[@KJ-rc9su]

Gotta do more vlogs like this👌🏼

[@pinkbearwho]

was it hard to become an electrician? i don’t know what to do with my life but you make it look interesting to do electric work

[@2DAYisCARmen]

I'd like to know this too. I keep hearing you need to apply at a local union as an apprentice. But where do you find those? Google doesn't help 😢

[@girlsherranen4710]

wondering this as well :) would love to know

[@wayneweis653]

Seat belt?

[@Batti2323]

You do not need to be union to become an electrician. Look for trade schools in your area. Some technical high schools have programs. An apprentice needs to be working in the trade while attending school, as there are requirements for the number of hours worked. @@2DAYisCARmen

[@halucinator1]

IBEW local 305 has opportunities I think. International brotherhood of electrical workers if you are looking for chapters in your area.

[@Locky78btcourt]

another great mission completed👊🏽👊🏽

[@sanches2]

When doing ceiling lighting jobs do you advise where to put them or the customer(architect)? Probably both, but achieving uniform light turned out to not be that easy with those led pancakes so i wondered how a proffessional alectrician addresses lighting. I found out that it needs thinking the hard way😂

[@gemini022]

Love the nightlight feature must install in my house

[@leonoza7]

Damn!!!! where do you get those lights that don't need electrical cabling just drill a hole in celing , pop in a light and flip the switch on the wall ... amazing ..

[@fredwhite9603]

What brand are those recessed lights you installed on the third job? Also keep up the good work, love the channel!!!

[@andrewgray2245]

Those are Feit electric brand, you can buy them for retro fit into exsiting can lights or you can buy the ones she used that snap into the drywall. I installed some about a month ago in my house. You can also select 5 different color temperatures. I bought mine at menards. Hope that helps.

[@jcloud177]

Love these style of videos you seem dope and have a great work process!

[@CarlosEnriqueAmaro]

It’s a different look and feel watching a learning from a professional woman woman handling electrical work than watching How-To videos of men manhandling their tools. 😅 Your video editing skills too, on point. I feel inspired other than oblivious of what I don’t know of commercial and residential electrical work. 😅 I’m getting there. The wealth of knowledge of these KZbin videos from your channel makes me feel smart but I just need to put it into practice. 🥴😅😌 Awesome work. It’s like another form of ASMR or something. I don’t know what to make of these but learning from them at most. 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@jamessimon4804]

Besides this giving me work ptsd. I watched your video pal. Haha. Quite remarkable how similar to buildings and units in MA.

[@jaygosch8705]

Awesome video! I'm thinking in job 1, it's good you didn't have the receptacle circuit on a breaker. Whoever tried to hookup the stove might have tried to work on the outlets next. Lol 😅

[@alejandrogonzalezgaitero2063]

Good morning at work, that's how I work, I have a maintenance guard on Saturday and Sunday.

[@eltonjim7414]

Yall don’t install an outlet under the sink and install a pigtail for the dishwasher? We normally do that making one plug in switched for the garbage disposal. Makes it easier to disconnect for dishwasher maintenance.

[@barbender88]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Wait a minute. Did I notice you sweep at 14:30? Hmmmm.... Must be one of them new Klein brooms they got.

[@dustinkrebs8229]

You go girl 👏👏👏👏👏

[@808Deathmetal]

That arc flash looked like someone was trying to drop a bead on the wall at 200amps. Lol

[@r3mii-CL]

I have to install those same kind of recessed lights. About 15 of them. But 4in ones

[@1trillionviews516]

I could just sit here all day watching these videos.

[@anmous69]

I need to install some recessed lights in my house. There is no even lighting. Thanks for the long form vid.

[@Dee_Lor]

🙌🙌🙌 Way to go!!! Really enjoy your contents.

[@crx770]

only one hour late is pretty good... even my second customer of the days gets a 3hour arrival window with a text when I'm in route. Its not uncommon for something to take twice as long as expected. also excellent touch with the out of focus broom clip... as an electrician its never good to get caught cleaning up. It would be a dishonor to your profession

[@jimjamess8633]

Said it before and I’ll say it again, one hell of a worker! Then there is the talent!

[@slip0n0fall]

Nice - can you post info (make/model) on those dual-mode pucks?

[@andrewgray2245]

Those are Feit electric brand, you can buy them for retro fit into exsiting can lights or you can buy the ones she used that snap into the drywall. I installed some about a month ago in my house. You can also select 5 different color temperatures. I bought mine at menards. Hope that helps.

[@snollennu]

Dang Lexi, I was out of town. If we linked up I would have roughed in and trimmed out the Mag-Lock for you. Just buy me lunch for the fam and it would have been squared away. But it's all good.

[@a1551x]

you're my hero! wish I could have learned from you

[@raymondrobinson5251]

Last job I had. We'd do these mandatory safety tests each month. One was electric basics, featuring GFI's and spark arrestor at the breaker box. I would miss up because I referred to a GFI instead of how the computer wanted it as GFCI! Always laugh at this, because working with old school electricians it Ground Fault Interrupters, not Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters. Also it's normally at the lead receptacle switch box in old installation method. Not at the breaker box!

[@jamesschaeffer6577]

I'm not a morning person either. I prefer to sip on my "Java" before I conduct any type of communications, to any other life form.😂 Good stuff foe show!

[@2DAYisCARmen]

Lexi, please help us girls who just came across your videos into getting into this trade. Ive tried, but been told you need to know someone to get in the unions 😢. After 3 years of being a sahm, im ready to get back out to work. Great channel and video btw ❤

[@Kevin-fl4rn]

Love the day in the life video idea! Can you link to those recessed led lights with the night light?

[@natalial.5577]

Ill be doing electrical work soon and I've been on graveyard for more then 15yrs im dreading the morning traffic and day shift to be a electrician

[@MurderSpam]

I’m electrician from Russia. Your work is really good 👍🏻 You have a good skills and your tool kit is nice. Good luck! You pretty 😊

[@jimsvideos7201]

Also also, the latest version of USB power delivery supports 240 watts at 48 volts; I'll bet you a dollar that becomes the standard outlet for everything except major appliances.

[@jimsvideos7201]

@@notalotawata You know what? There's no reason you couldn't have a device in the wall to combine ethernet and USB-PD so you could sit down with your laptop and have all the goodies hooked right up.

Love the longer videos !

[@JoshuaO-h4p]

Good for porch swings!

[@mattdiehl83]

No cord and plug on the dishwasher needed? And what’s the deal with that wall plate 7:23 and why do you use an impact to drill holes through wood? 8:29 bushings? Or looking to bash, I just always believe it’s good to have a second set of eyes. Keep up the good work.

[@nerybarrios99]

Lexi, Love your videos!!! Do you mind sharing how much you charge for retrofitting recessed lighting like this?

Please keep making day in life vids!

[@FrannyWard]

Impressive work ethic. Question: In N.Y., dont they require a direct line to a GFI receptacle to be inside the base cabinet and an appliance cord to be run from the Dishwasher to the receptacle? Here in the Philly area, a lot of municipalities require a cord and receptacle.

[@MediumRareSteve]

That little lean back you do on the top step hurts my goddamn back 😂 I learned real quick I’m not equipped to do that, even in my 30s. Great video. Love the long form but I get that it’s time consuming to both film and edit something like this. ✌🏻

You're a good electrician. 👍

[@MarkTrades__]

Completely noob here - what is a rough-in guys? Started watching these electrician vids. Comes up alot. Is it putting in a breaker box? Getting wires ran to & from the breaker to various end points?

[@kraca20]

@@andrewgray2245 ... what is model number of that lights?

[@andrewgray2245]

@kraca20 I don't know the model number of the exact light fixtures installed in this video, there are different sizes and atleast 2 different styles. I installed the retro fit version MODEL number, LedR56_NL_5CCTCA at my house, the wireing screws into the existing can light scoket and the light slips into the old housing. The light featured in this video is a different model number used for new construction or if you want to add a new recessed light in a location where one is not currently installed. If you have a menards store local to you, they are all on the shelf so you can get what you need. Hope that helps.
