For Stock Rigs Only

I've been working through replacing all switches and outlets in the house. Surge receptacles on fridge and oven, still need to do microwave and range.

 

Stupid assed tamper resistant outlets. Nothing builds a child’s character quite like sticking something into an outlet at an early age.

 

I've only shocked myself once so far... on the same receptacle I've shocked myself before... Only place I've been where two circuits share a box. Damn Garbage disposal

 

Baseboard and door casing today!

 

Replaced baseboard with taller 1x6. They had some water damage in the basement from a failed sump pump. They're prepping to sell. Nothing too difficult. Customer was expecting butt joints on outside corners. I was given $50 more than I billed.

 

Nice job Miter Man.

 

Thanks Billy Bob!

 

Makes things stand up for sure

 

Oh boy I think we have a blown transformer in the street. We’d be kinda dark around here. Waiting for an assessment and if more than an hour I’ll prep and fire off the gen

 

On the gen. Fuck it.
Only house on the block running right now.

 

Boooo

 

No wind.
No accidents as far as I can tell..
Wierd

 

rollin blackout?

 

No it’s 42° and it was a pulsation shut off. Seen the transformer across the street go, and it’s quite the show. Same scenario…

 

Well....the air stayed warmer longer than forecasted. So that will help reduce the ice build up. The ice total has been lowered to under a half an inch now. Still significant though.

Just starting to switch over. I see it on the trees and the kid's Yaris. Got my fingers crossed for these old Bradford Pears in my back yard.

 

Stay safe Mikey

 

No problem.
Test run if you will.
Friggin kid had one installed next door. Perfect time to do a test run..
Nope

Dumb Ass

 

When I was a kid I remember transformers popping from time to time. Big blue light show at night.

But I live several miles away from the city's urban center. Out this far was all developed in the last 25 years or less. So much of the utilities are buried. Haven't seen a transformer blow in many years.

 

Well if I’m home and the one across the street goes, I’ll vid it for ya.
might go for a ride and light up the front yard. Just because I can lol

 

Evening Bill and stockers. Y'all staying warm?
