ryaldinhio 4,492 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 ive been a electrician for 36 years mostly on big industrial sites, For the last 7 years all the works been in prisons which can be a real eye opener at timesconstructing new prisons darbo or maintenance/alterations of existing? Im a spark by trade but off the tools now. done a few new blocks in prisons amd some extensiins/refurbs I actually enjoy prison work, back to proper trunking and conduit systems wired in singles instead of twin and basket that gets chucked everywhere nowadays. Maintenance pms and new installation work. ive always worked with conduit,trunking .tray ladder rack etc since i was a apprentice many moons ago. that is a proper install, dont do many of them nowadays. Most are basket and twin&skin. Last summer I had two apprentices ask me to sign em off as competent to do their AM2. When I questioned em on what they had done it turned out in their 4 years all they had done was basket and plastic tube!!!!! The skill is fast dropping away fella, so that labour is cheaper. Itll soon be 20 mates or electrical labourers and 4 sparks behind em checking! Shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

old school 500 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I drove a class 2 lorry for a contracting firm that worked for the council and road services.... I was there 10 years and winter was gullies and drains and summer was sitting on quads spraying weeds... Loved it but then with budget cuts they done away with contractors so now I'm in a factory building trailers for lorises with less pay and it's entirely shit!!! Been there a year and a half and it feels like a prison sentence :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
