3 way switches! FUN FUN!

well I have been doing electrical the all this week so I figured I would post about one of the most confusing concepts for an amateur electrician.Yes the 3-way switch. Rather than go into great detail about them I will just post 8 diagrams that are invaluable to have. It will make your next project a whole lot easier. These diagrams do not show retards tapping into the lines or the use of old 2-way lines converted to 3 way, so if you have more wires than this get a notepad out draw a diagram and use your brain and think about it. Ohh and remember TURN THE POWER OFF WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRICITY! Have fun and enjoy! All stairways have them, one at the top one at the bottom to control the same light.

Back to Work

Back to work tomorrow so Ill post a couple of vids of the local coffee shop i will be stopping at in the a.m. Sorry applefags wrong coffee shop!

Too Tired

Being March is the start of the construction work year, I have not really done much physical work for two months now. I have just started this job two days ago and already I feel like I was ran over by a truck. Hopefully I can finish this up today so I can have a three day weekend before the next job on Monday. I enjoyed owning a company better before Obama was elected, seeing that I had alot of employees and all I had to do was supervise to prevent any Hi-jinks or shenanigans. So thank you for destroying the economy. Im not a republican either so sorry liberals you can not hate on me. All I know is that my numbers do not lie and 2004-2007 were my best years ever.

Double standards ?

I had to delete a couple of posts for advertisers (not adsense). I guess showing a woman in a sexy dress or bikini is offensive in america. Sexuality is a no no even if the image is pg rated. It is suggestive. Amazingly these same advertisers have no problem running their adds on a tv show that has rape, murder, drugs and cursing. So women out there looking good is bad as is being sexy since people only have sex for procreation and should wear burkas all the time, but wait a minute im sure someone out there finds these suggestive and sexy.

Preparing for job tomorrow

Have to go out and get materials today for an easy paint job. Need to buy primer, and paint today for tomorrow. Should be done in 2-3 days. Just some new construction drywall and trim.

Feast or famine

Hopefully the winter slowdown is over. As everyone knows who is involved with the construction industry in Michigan, after the holidays till march is brutal. This year has been the worst year in the last 20 and has been dieing slowly since the last presidential election. No one wants work done. As a helpful tip to everyone living in a region where it gets cold in winter, this is the best time to actually have work done. A contractor will take jobs during the slow time at half the price just to have money rolling in. But as always common sense is hard to find now and people would rather pay $30000 for a kitchen remodel in the summer than $10000 in the winter. Well work has started to roll in "all at once" so we will have to turn some jobs down. What are you going to do.

How to properly mud and tape

Just remember it is all about the pressure on the knife and to make the edges as smooth as possible. You do not want globs or it to be uneven anywhere. This is the mistake most people make when attempting themselves. They figure they can just go back and sand it later. You want as little sanding as possible for several obvious reasons.

Good luck!!!

Blog Maintenance
