You Ever Have…

Most people lack fix-it skills big time these days. I did some side work as a handy man/general fix it guy for a while until I got sick of dealing with people. I did anything but electrical. That could've quickly spiraled into 100 hour work weeks especially since I already own a truck. I told most people "no" and got out of it altogether so I could finish my own house out.
I grew up where people took care of their own repairs unless it was something major. When I bought my first house at 21 I figured things out for myself to get stuff fixed up. My mindset is stuck where I assume most people do the same. I guess people now-a-days can't take care of stuff for themselves.

I don't have the money to hire someone to fix it so I didn't have a choice. I watched a lot of youtube videos and built a square box and called it home. I set it up so everything but the roof is easy to service. The wife demanded a 12/12 pitch and I foolishly complied, LOL.

Les Paul’s love Marshall’s. A Fender Twin to an LP is like the fat chick at the bar at 2:30 AM when there are no other options 🤣
Les Pauls sound absolutely killer through a Twin for blues or rock stuff.

I know, I was being a dick 😉
 
I tried to get into IBEW once

I was a navy communications electrician and had experience. phones, alarms and LV wiring

They had an open house and i showed up with my sep papers. I didn't have my DD214 yet because i still had 2 yrs active reserves

They asked me 3 questions all of which i said no. The prick told me dont come back until i can answer one yes.

1. Are you related to anyone in local 3.

2. Do i know anyone in local 3 who can sponsor me.

3. Do i know anyone in any other electrical union

Man was i fucking pissed off that day

I ended up working for neighborhood guys and they paid me well.
$8 an hour as a jr trainee.
Then $12 an hour as a mechanic.

Not bad for a single 21yo in 1986

Well, uh, shut the fuck up unless you have useful input..,
You seem moody like a bish, good luck anyway.
Suggesting someone hire an Electrician isn't un-resonable, its sound advice.
50 amps can flash & burn down your house in an instant.

You think what he had an issue with was you suggesting he hire an electrician ? I really can't reiterate this enough Dan, you are full on fucking retarded. And a compulsive liar. And a complete pussy "Bish".
 
Nice slanderous , ficticious attept at character assination, is that the "official"
spambot malware robot point of view for today ?
Your dictatious attacks clearly overkill & not relevant nor proportional to WTF
the subject matter at hand here is.
Anyone that would come to a "political" subforum on a washed up caulk rock
guitar forum seeking "electrical repair" advice is like trying to get a liver transplant
@ a used car lot.
Graveyards are full of cheap bastards that tried an "easier softer way."
