I share my life as an Electrician every day! I'm 32 years old and started my electrical apprenticeship back in 2012 through the non-union. I worked non-union from 2012 to 2020 (8.5 years). I joined the IBEW 48 (Union) in January 2021 and been working for them since. Collectively I've been working as an electrician now for over 12 years. I enjoy sharing my life experiences, teaching others, and helping you all out through videos and answering questions. My goal is to become a youtuber full time one day.
I hope my content brings you knowledge, entertainment, laughter and enjoyment. Stick around and join my growing community! Thanks for the support!
God bless!

He looks like Ryan Reynolds in the new Dead Pool vs Wolverine movie! You know the friendly Dead Pool with long hair? Am I the only one who sees it? 😂
Overtime looks like $80per hour but is actually $20per hour. 😮💨
That looks like typical Architectural drawing. Missing numerous required receptacles. Pretty crappy!
All that checking is sort of a waste of time when you've installed a panel cover that opens the wrong way.
Ouch
lol yeah
So in a year are you going to make 200,000? 12 months
my overtime ended, otherwise i possibly could have.
Thank you so much for the video, made me a lot more comfortable working on live for the first time
glad to hear it! stay safe!
Always do box offsets first
Dispatch........ Entomology of words that make you , we and us ..... Dead . ...
Question: As a journeyman who's just organized in to the union about 10 months ago I'm still learning some of the culture. I'm a Resi guy hoping to change classification to inside soon, on the resi side, no one pays attention to the tool list and is welcome and encouraged to bring more than necessary. On the commercial side at my company it seems a few extra would be fine no one's going to complain. But on the Internet all I hear is how dare you bring a pencil if it's not on the list. Long story short, how strict is the tool list in your local/company and is there anything not on your list you would bring no matter what?
Add dependants for a breakeven at the end of the year or write off as much as you can 💯
Some people shouldn’t be allowed to breed, drive, or vote…wtf?
what?
I'm a bit late to the party but thanks for the review
I took went with a non union org i passed the test the only downside was that i didnt have a car(i still don't). I tried taking the union test to get into a apprenticeship and i failed since its been a while since i've taken a test related to that and was told to wait until next year now im thinking if i should just go through the non union org then transfer to union ?
So, I’m eliminating a switch while also taking out the wall it is on. Do I just put a junction box in my attic and do the same thing you did here? I hope that makes sense.
yep
Black white and green wires with braided ground wire but no green terminal
just ordered mine
Residential fucking SUCKS
As an electrician’s apprentice i was fortunate enough to work with excellent mentors. My Journeymen teachers taught me that the more knowledge of skills that they could pass on to me would ultimately benefit them and our team in the end. As a result I adopted that edict when training others below me.
My elec contractor charges 350 hour. I found someone else
So what about tools made in 2022 or higher????
Can you explain why your wires coming out of the wall were two whites and two blacks?
power in and power out
Man i got the same ones there so nice!!
heck yeah!!
Them not honoring money dedication and work you put in is bs
Great video. I'll be starting my journey soon as an electrical helper.
I completely resonate with that whole not knowing what you signed up for thing 😂 I applied for an electrician apprentice position not knowing what kind of electrician I’d be, but now I know I’m an inside lineman (commercial and industrial). Quite happy about that.
I wanna join but literally have no experience at 26. I feel like it would be pretty hard to get into the ibew
Depends on your local and how competitive it is. Even if you make it in, there's no guarantee that you'll make it through your fifth year and journey out. Each year they cut guys out from the program from poor attendance, poor grades, poor work ethics, etc.
How to rewind a blender motor
So you didn’t read the owner’s manual at all, did you?
Your not the best explainer but I agree the video 😁
Hey,man! if you can start your own business,Would you get a good pay from that?
Yes, lots of guys wished that if they could do it all over again they'll open up their own company. It's easier said than done. Managing your own company is THE hardest thing you can do. Lots of guys see the $ and think that anyone can do it. Not really. It's more about managing your finances than working with your hands. Once you transition from the trades to a business owner, you'll find out that it's much more easier being a worker than a boss.
@@hmoobmikah Of course.I'm agree with your point.But if you have your own company,you can get much more profit than a worker,right?
What if they original light fixture doesnt have a ground cable? Can i take this route to install multiple recessed lights?
How I spent $5,000 on fuel one year and still couldn't save a dime hahaha.
😮
I want to become and electrician but that pay cut to 15.75 an hr is something I can’t do.
save up and then transfer if its something you want to do. gotta make sacrafices to get where you wanna go
All of us took pay cuts to get started. The education is outstanding in the right program and you can even earn some machinery certifications.
@@DailyElectrician I’m weighing it. I’m 28 so it’s harder to be in a financial bind.
@@ValenceFlux how old were you when you started?
i understand, but i believe you can do it
I'm more confused fml
Oh yeah favorite vids!
Glad to hear it! 💙
Pac is political action committee. Is optional.
Thank you but I think the point of someone looking for a video with 3 pigtails is to actually show HOW to pigtail the wires and where you get the 4th wire from to connect to the outlet. I know to just buy extra 14awg wire and cut it to length needed and include it in the pigtail but some people might not.
You have to follow NEC Codes anywhere in The United States 🇺🇸. You just said, "Here, there's no need to follow NEC". WTF! Are you in Mexico 🇲🇽. 😂😂😂😂😂
Is cannabis allowed in the union or electrical in general
Had to like the video off the rip for the Joyride Toys Spartan chillin on the table -- Wish I still had some of mine, miss my blue and red one from Halo 2
Appreciate it Bro! 💙✊🏻
way too much to carry there is never a reason to carry all that unless its to and from work but through out the day NO it just screams IM GREEN lol
How is it going?
it's going great! how are you? ☺️
Yea but are you still in the union? Layoffs happen all of the time. Can you be reassigned?
yeah, it wasnt a big deal ☺️
@@DailyElectrician Good. Im a journeyman looking into joining the union. Do you like the Union? If you are out of work are you allowed to take off as long as you want? Do you have any control over where you work?
yeah the union is good! you can take off as long as you want and have full control over where you work ☺️
@@DailyElectrician Thanks for the advice bro! I'm going to check with the local IBEW chapter and talk to them about joining. Down here in Tx the industry is kind of cutthroat and I've had some not so good experiences with the companies and running my own business under a friend's master license. I then talked to a couple of friends who joined the union and they told me that they have treated well. Wish me luck on getting in and enjoy your time off if you plan on taking it! It's good to take a hard earned break after a productive grind!
for sure bro, keep me posted! i wish it to be an easy switching process for you!
thanks so much for the video just finished the install works like a charm super helpful
glad to hear it! 🫶🏻
Really a pointless video.
Thank you!
