Sucks to be you!
Not always...this would be a recommended way to do it, but some of the older houses actually have the service masts falling off. Having the power co. come and do it is the way i prefer, but sometimes you have no choice.

Nope, not union either. Was union in NJ for a little while, but now i do mostly new residential wiring and service calls. PA has some interesting laws regarding electricians...mainly you don't have to be licensed, although it is a plus for business It's not the voltage that kills you...it's the current.

Voltage just helps the current to jump air gap and kill the ---- out of you.

---- everyday I work on heavy *** vehicles made of big chunks of armored steel, and every *** engines, big *** wrenches, in the freezing cold, sometimes with no light. and every six months I am in a dander zone getting shot at or mortors comming at my work place. watching friends and co workers dying. now much danger is that? plus when I am not in a danger zone for a year to 6 months I am in training training an inexperienced person shooting next to you or having someone shooting blanks at you, how easy it is to mix up the ammo?

i have the chance of a battery blowing up on me i also have the chance of getting lead poisoning from soldering. i burn my fingers all the time from shorting out batteries. hearing and feeling your skin fry and then getting a whiff sucks. but i prob have more of a chance breaking my foot than dying.

I work in a bodyshop so I guess theres some danger. More helath concerns than anything... There's been fires and someone almost blew the paint room up while I was mixing paint one day. The stupid *** walked right in without reading the signs first and lit one up!
