I guess the site's probably going to be slow today, so it might be time for me to look in my blue folder of ideas for slow days. I'll start out with this link to a bunch of helpful videos of electrical jobsite tips:

The one about "steel roping" was really neat. That's a trick I've never seen or heard of before. I'm definately going to try it.

Thanks for the link. Some of those are pretty good.

Thanks Marc,
Your all right ! I don't care what all those other guys say.

If I recall correctly nothing can be added to the sides of a lift ... :grin:

I liked the steel chain one. After a dozen stitches we'll remember the Kevlar glove one.

I'm not so sure I liked the jack chain one. I think that #12 jack chain is only good for 26 or 29 pounds, as it says on the carton. I'm not sure how much pulling it would take to open up a link.

I have seen an attachement you can buy for your fishtape that is like a metal strap with holes in it that does basically the same thing.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into a heavier chain.

Yeah, Wiremold has made that gizmo since the 1960's, but recently the Rack-A-Tiers people came out with one too.

I like the roping steel video. Never heard of that but certainly will add that to MY bag of tricks. Thanks Marc.
