Long time no talk guys how it hangin. Im doin alrite still employed so i guess thats a good thing. I just finished up my first large commercial service. 1000 amp. (12) thwn 250 coppers. Talk about intense. 5 4", 2 3" and 1 1" 85 ft pvc runs. And it wasnt a straight run either. The blanket was our best friend. And personally I think 22's are more useful than 45's. Man oh man but setting up that switch gear was brutal. Heavy as all hell. It might be old news to some of you guys but it was way beyond plugs and switches for me. Now this is what we ended up doing for the grounding. Obviously the 2 rods at the trans. and 2 rods by the disc. But the water main that the brought into the building was plastic. So instead we just attached a lug onto the building steel. It was pretty cool how the gear kind of just slides together. But i guess thats all for now so be safe everyone. later.

Just make sure you read the prints - I had a contractor tear out a duct bank today because they didn't read the prints, use a tape measure, or both. Thankfully for them they hadn't poured it yet:rolleyes:.

sigh. i think i need a nap.... that's a very serious level of personal
cheerfulness.

i think we need to send him over to scott, and he can help with the
services.... scott needs the help, and it'll calm down the zing... nothing
like stringing services in an ice storm to smooth out the emotions.:D

I can remember being excited at that time in my career. Every day brought a new challenge, and something different. We all could take a page out of his book, and get a little excited again. I know I am going to. I miss springing out of bed looking forward to the day. Instead it has become mundane and routine, and only I can change that.

Be safe out there
