Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

oh...well then...

 

Got email from them today. Sounds like that whole Black Friday Sale thing cleaned 'em out good. If not that, then they are busy boxing stuff up.

 

Spotted @Overlanerd and his house today. We are brainstorming some sweet ass EAF equipment. Hopefully it all pans out...

 

He and I were going back and forth in IMs on custom rears for a week before this. But I'm sure we'll get it sorted out.

 

What kind of skills do you have? Where are you located? And are you looking for temporary work or something full time?

 

I am mechanically inclined
I have handy man knowledge
I learn quickly
Basically my problem is that most of my work experience was under the table and can't actually call upon a reference

I also was a summer camp counselor so i am technically a "youth development professional"

I am currently in walnut creek
at this point I just need something I'm going insane not having work right now

 

what skills do you have? if non look into apprenticeships. I love being an electrician. and hvac and mechanical apprenticeships are very good as well.
If you don't mind getting dirty my plumber friends are telling me they cant find enough help right now. PM me if you want details on that.I will ask him more in detail.

 

I do fire alarm, card access, security etc. we do a lot of government jobs and schools. It all pays inside wireman for the most part so for sac my total package is 60 an hour and for most Bay counties I'm at 88 an hour base pay is mid 30s for most guys depending on certs.

You work for Caltrans? My dad is an electrical supervisor out of marysville for them

 

i used to work for cal trans now DGS. your making ibew wages,good pay. what company you with? I would love to get on with something like that. But im just an inside wireman, the only cert i have in my CA general electricians licensee. Never got into low voltage stuff to much. I have done a little.

 

Whats up jason, so r u a 340 hand up in Sacramento ? if u dont mind me asking , what is jw rate. Im local 6, SF, been acting foreman last couple of weeks. Jw here is $64/hr, foreman is $72/hour. And one thing i really love down here, 7 hour days.

 

I just wanna know how I get a piece of yalls pie!

Y'all getting some good wages, of course with experience and seniority.

The struggle is real in California!

 

I don't make near that much but was able to buy a home for us in 2014.

Definitely looking to upgrade my life though.

 

Man thats great you were able to buy a house. We make pretty good monry down here, but its so freakin expensive to live here.

 

I work for a Sierra Building Systems
I have my fire life safety card
Voice data video card
N.I.C.E.T level II soon to be III
Extron A.V associates
OSHA 30 as well as quite a few product specific certs

The union dictates the prevailing wage so whatever the local pays is what we make on any publics work project. Low voltage is a little different as there aren't very many low voltage union contractors so we get treated better than non union electricians.

 

It's a town house, I guess I should clarify. Lol.

1100 sq ft 2/1.5 with a detached single car garage. Paid 295k in 12/14. Now worth 355k with paint and new baseboard.

Not a mansion, but with what I have made for an income I'll be doing the property ladder to get where we want. Fortunately what we made was enough to get us the house, which we bought the day we had our first ultrasound confirming our daughter, and allowed Danielle to stay home for 15 months with her and not be making an income.

I am glad we bought when we did. I wouldn't be a homeowner otherwise. Super blessed.

 

I bet you do.

 

20 bucks is 20 bucks
