Packed evenings on a social level? So you're spending all that hard earned money you're making?
 
if you hate insulation, get some baby powder or corn starch, cover your exposed skin with it before you enter the atic . It will clog your pores so the insulation can not get in. re-apply after a hard sweat. you wont itch at all

Thats one of the coolest things I have heard in a long time. I will be sure to try that!!!;)
 
Oh a youngster in the field (i say that like I am 47 and not 27). Trust me. You are going like it. I accidently fell into electrical. I was suppost to be an hvac service tech. You know the guys always saying 120volts is high voltage.

Now there is nothing else I want to do. I love the work, not the office/business stuff.

Learning the matieral, good times. sounds good. Even when times are slow someone still needs their lights and outlets and a whole lot of stuff to work.

Oh I'm trying that. My buddy's going to pay me to add extra insulate his attic and that was the part I was dreading.

You need Tyvek coveralls anda respirator. A cold day also makes this safety gear much more tolerable.

That was my original thought. I guess I'll go back to that, but I'm trying that other trick if I'm just going up for an hour or so.

Hairspray works also but not as quick to clean up.

Not if he put both cables in the same connector which is what Ill bet he did.

No matter how many cable you stuff into a 2-screw Romex connector, it will cost more if the light j-box has clamps built into it.

Camera phones help, right? "Hey, Journeyman, I can't figure out how to run this...","Well, Sparky, take some pictures of it, and send them to my phone, so I don't have to go up there." :grin:
