Hey @Silverback
I found a great place for you to stay in Maple Glen on Airbnb. What do you think?
Cozy . Warm. Comfortable. Stay at MXS.
Entire villa, Sleeps 14

I stayed there.. the strangest noises came from the basement all day and night long. I would have swore it sounded like someone cracking a whip! Maybe they had an Indiana Jones marathon going on? Beautiful home though.

who is everyone? I do not need to justify my certifications or qualifications to anyone let alone a window licking mouth breather such as yourself
If you are telling me Scott is "real" plumber, you have your head further up your ass than I thought.
You don't need to justify anything ~ Just expect to get called out for your lies when you go around spewing them, especially when you try and BS real contractors

love those old Michael Keaton movies. That one and multipicity always get me. 220/221 is a bit light for my industry, we usually go for the thousands of volts range. I went under the controls at one of our SVCs the other week and completely destroyed all my credit cards

I believe it.. I got an intro into the power grid and they brought in a section of high voltage power line. Thing was huge! 2-3 inches in diameter.. ok maybe that was my dick.. LOL It was big! But yeah, I do not like to work on electricity.. I respect it. I put a 220 plug below my breaker box in the old house. Dumbest thing I have done to date, put in a 220 outlet without cutting the power. I'm alive.. at least in this universe. But it was a dumb thing to do. Just one hand on one wire at a time. But it worked. But yeah those lines with more than 200kv are scary.. fuck anything over 220v scares me.

Im so confused. One minute you are advising your on clients the best water heater practices, and been in the biz 60 years. But you are also a nuke engineer that works on power lines.

Wait I think I figured it out. You were advising your clients to not dump the cooling water out of the nuclear reactor because when ever they do it causes big problems. Now it all makes sense

I am not a nuke engineer by any means. In fact I switched over to the transmission side of things a few months back. My degree is in electrical. Plumbing is just a side gig for me to supplement income, most referrals through word of mouth. Can't put all your eggs in one basket my friend.
110V-120V- will grab you and hold you until your heart stops.
208V-240V- will blow you back and you'll probably lose whatever member made an electrical connection.
480V+- you become pink mist.
This was the really dumb down version an electrician told me on a job site one day.
And all of that is why I have an electrician friend that does all my work.
