Was about to comment this perspective!

At least the cover fit back on the boxes you have encountered. I usually run into something 7 of their friends and no less than 2 "professional" relatives have absolutely destroyed and the panel cover is just leaned against the wall below, mounting hardware nowhere to be found. My favorite is the trusty orange extension cord with the end cut off attached by the stripped wire being shoved under a breaker where it engages the busbar and then runs out a nearby window then down the side of the house and is buried. That powers the garage they remodeled and wired up themselves. Gotta love the confidence of an imbecile.

Super. I LOVE that conduit hickey/wire bender, and yes, it is a pride matter, an attention matter, and worth it. This Sparky sleeps VERY well at night knowing that I give every home this treatment, and it is nice when the inspector smiles at you and signs off on the permit, not to mention everyone who ever works on that box down the road will thank their lucky stars that you did your job, AND a neatly wired box is actually safer for the homeowner and anybody else that works in the box. P.S. I always show the box and my work to the people living in the home, not only assuring them about the lifetime of peace of mind for the money they spent, but I also explain things, like how to properly reset things like GFCIs and circuit breakers, or how to put a fuse in the furnace cutoff, or etc. & etc. I would love to get PAID a couple hundred bucks per hour, but my pay is but a fraction of that, as most of that money goes for things like insurance, bonding, and gas and tools and supplies. 💙 T.E.N.

Keeping a good reputation with clients keeps your job. Keeping a good reputation with other industry professionals gets you better jobs. 1. A clean valve box. 2. Shut offs for each valve. 3. Labeled wires. 4. THE PROPER NUMBER OF VALVES PER BOX (its not Tetrice!) 5. A 4 foot stretch of extra wire neatly curled inside the box for repairs. 6. A strip of 8oz filter fabric placed under and arriund the box to keep spiders (black widows mostly) out of the box and to keep the box from filling with dirt over time. 7. Finish it off with some 57 stone on the bottom. And thats how you properly install an irrigation valve box.

The conductor bender is a funny touch 😂 I worked 30 years in Security Systems and when you build anything with future service in mind, you will find solid systems will be installed with meticulous care. Everything will be documented. Foundations will be laid with future expansion points, quality casings, cables and fasteners which will be thoroughly tested. Any points of failure will be easily found and serviceable. Yes, it's expected to work and will do so as long as there are good connections...messy or not. However, having a clean flow of energy/communications is the ultimate outcome for a well performing system. The best performing systems need this type of care in their installations. You will find they fire up perfectly, and if they don't, you can find where the failure quickly and be able to replace it efficiently. Hence obtaining a good reputation for yourself, your team and employer. Basically, it's called being successful and building a great reputation.

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone trash on clean work. I remember troubleshooting a panel and immediately thanked whoever worked on it how easy it was to navigate the problem wire. Clean work is contagious. Seeing it clean makes you want to keep it clean. I promptly put the replacement part to look the same way as the previous part. I also added a plastic tag wrapped on the wire to signify what was changed.
@phillyphakename12558 ай бұрын
I don't trash clean work, but I do trash the people who slowly use a pipe bender to bend 12 gauge. There's clean work, and then there's spending hours on a panel to get a perfect 1.5 inch radius on each bend. Just bend it over your thumb like a regular person. There is a tradeoff, a point where you can still do great work, but you do it efficiently. That's the sweet spot I want to live in with my work.

Spending to much time on perfection is wrong(unless it's a certain client). You said that you save time by causing less confusion for the next guy. How is that if I'm able to do the job x2 faster and still look good? Lastly, any electrician trimming a panel, whether fast or slow, should never make an install that would leave him confused and having problems if he had to revisit the panel. Maybe a novice, but not an electrician.

@C I'm actually out of the electrical trade per se. I now work as an electromechanical engineer. I basically design machines, fixtures, and robot systems. If you're young enough (I'll say $65k. But, OT should take you above that. Also, after your journeyman level, you can branch off in several specialties, all of which pay more. The specialties are things like: automation, fiber optics / communications, high voltage, estimating, management, etc. People don't want to work with their hands anymore. So, if you're smart enough (basically have a strong mechanical aptitude), you're willing to work hard, and you're young enough, this might be a good path. By the way, this is one of the few careers that still pays a pension upon retirement. That, in addition to your SSI, should make retirement livable. Having a personal retirement isn't a bad idea to add in and make your retirement even more comfortable.
