If you get your masters license potentially a lot more money ,the sky’s the limit .

    • @Ephesians-ts8ze
      @Ephesians-ts8ze 3 месяца назад

      I remember feeling overwhelmed like that too when I was an apprentice. Don’t worry, once you figure out what you’re doing you’ll learn to just deal with one wire at a time. Think of it like clearing a heavily wooded area. It looks pretty intimidating at first but you just start chopping down one tree at a time and before you know it, you’ve only got a few trees left and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel approaching

    Don’t be afraid to make a bigger hole on the drywall. Patching a 6” hole vs a 12” hole is still just tape and mud.

    • @Ephesians-ts8ze
      @Ephesians-ts8ze 3 месяца назад

      Good point! Personally I like to cut out the drywall from stud to stud especially when I need plenty of space to work with such as drilling holes in studs or headers or especially when needing to access above a hard ceiling. If you cut the sheetrock to the center of the stud on both sides, you have enough stud showing to screw the same piece you cut out right back into place. Easy peasy!

    It’s better to cut stud to stud. You can screw it back in and the Sheetrock ppl can just mud it. It seems worse like you’re cutting a larger hole, but it’s better for the worker coming behind you. Sometimes people I do work for will ask if I can patch what I cut for $$$. Might as well make a few extra hundred for a little bit of extra work. Maybe it’s because I’m an electrician and not a sheet rocker, but the patch kits are a pain in the ass.

      The IBEW has the best apprenticeship program. What major town or city are you closest to and I can get you the number to call and apply. Or you can look up IBEW apprenticeship or NJATC. If you meet the requirements and are accepted, they will place you with a contractor so you can begin your on the job training while you go to school. The pay is decent just starting as a 1st year apprentice not knowing anything. It’s usually about 50% of the journeyman pay scale for your area

    SAFETY FIRST
    You broke every safety code there is in less than 3 minutes.
    The top step of ladder is not a step.
    You stepped on the top step, used to hold screw drivers ONLY.
    Your elite apprentice was on the ladder the opposite way.
    You both do not follow safety protocols.
    If you continue these bad habits, you both will end up in the hospital with broken legs, ribs and hips.
    You both need to take a safety course.
