I'm new to running tray and have been tasked with finishing off a run. It'll need roughly a 25 in offset and will need to make it by cutting the tray. We do not have the hinge brackets.

We tried one earlier in the week and it was a hack job. I just want to get a better understanding of the making the cuts/measurements before I do this one.

So the tray is 18in, if I need a 25in 45°offset I would make my bends my bends 35in apart?

The cuts I have no idea about. So I put a straight cut at the center of each bend. Then on the other side I mark the center, but Im not sure how to get my cut marks to have the offset come out correctly. Is there a formula to get these to come out right?

So I was a registered apprentice from Nov-May with a legit electrical company. I have 1800 hours, but was laid off and never heard back, so i found what seemed to be a decent upgrade in August. I'd be making $6 more an hour, 10 min commute compared to 45 and the work was more steady.

I've been here for 2.5months, close to 500 hours. Upon calling the ITC, I was made "inactive" despite still working in the field. I was ok with this, I figured I just had to get my employer to contact the apprenticeship agency, I'd be back to being registered and progressing. I just recently learned that I actually cannot get registered with this company (temp agency) at all and none of the hours with this co

So I've been working a temporary job the past 10 weeks and have been going back and forth with the apprenticeship agency and they have confirmed that the job I'm doing is pretty much irrelevant in terms of progressing through my apprenticeship. And I have been made an inactive apprentice in the meantime.

I was a registered 1st year coming into the job. I was laid off for a few months from the company that registered me, had trouble finding anything in the electrical field till I found this job. Compared to my last job it's great. I make $6 more per hour, <10 min commute compared to 45 and the crew is really easy going.

There is a crew of 4 of us, 2 journeyman hired by the staffing agency.

I'm a second year that has been laid off from my previous employer for 2 months. This company got me registered as an apprentice.

This week I got a job with a temp agency, but there's years of work if I stay. They pay $6 more per hour and have a 10 min commute as opposed to 50. But the thing I hear people complain about is not actually getting hours towards an apprenticeship.

These guys aren't registered apprentices. But just wondering if where I'm actually registered, can I just bring my log book in and have my jman sign off on hours? Or because I'm not with a legit electrical company, just a temp agency will this cause issues?

I reached out to my apprenticeship contact, but they take

Most of this was a new learning experience for me. I'm a first year apprentice electrician, so the electrical was the only thing I had a clue about. I've never installed drywall, mudded, trim, flooring, painting or anything before. So used YouTube for pretty much everything.

I mainly just

So I'm doing a 33x12 room in vinyl plank with no experience.

I'm reading on the manufacturer installation instructions that the starting piece in a row must be at least 20in, and the difference between joints in parallel rows must be at least 16in.

It doesn't actually say if the last piece in the row should also be 20in or anything. Just to measure and cut.

Just if I try to keep the end pieces 20in+ also, I'd end up needing to cut 9-28in off each starting piece, with the largest size I start with being around 39in.

I understand my thoughts are probably wrong and over thought. Just trying to get a good idea how experienced people would lay this out. I feel like if I did it this way, I

So I fully tore my basement rec room down to the studs with minimal experience with the intention of doing the majority of the work myself.

It's going to be a rec room with (for now) a lot of kids toys on the left side and an entertainment/living area on the right.

I've asked a few people with more experience than me who have been at my house if they thought it should be insulated better and have mixed responses.

There's currently just the foam insulation. The wall is 33ft and the far wall is 12ft. Is this correct set up for insulation or should I be adding something between the studs.

I'm not from the area, but I have a few appointments there. My experience finding parking took like 40 mins last time and barely made my appointment. Wellington st was where I finally found a spot.

Is there any parking lots or areas where there's pretty much guaranteed parking within like 10-15 mins walking distance?

I don't know the city well at all. I'd rather not drive around looking for spaces on the streets or have to drive around a full parking lot waiting for someone to leave.

I could be wrong here, but I believe if I spend over $1000 in tools needed for my career that I am eligible for a $500 return.

I've spent close to that already. But one major purchase for $350 at home depot was ordered using a paypal address that's under my brothers name.

So even though it's shipped to my address, used my own bank account etc...home depot put his name on the e receipt and will not change it.

Is this going to make it so this gets rejected for sure or is there something else I could do? Should I just make sure I spend over $1350? There's a few more expensive tools I wasn't going to buy right away, but would if it meant getting a return.

So I've been putting this off for a while now. We are getting a tropical storm with lots of rain this weekend, so i want to see if I can get it draining properly. The pitch is definitely off, the drain is not plugged. Water sits in it, and during heavy rains, it pours out where the large window is ( you can see the gutter bow out a bit in this spot). There is also a crack in the foundation there, water will come in the basement when it does this.

​

I've watched a few videos, but would like some guidance about the process. There is not a single place i could set my level and have it showing the gutter is sloping towards the drain. The house was built in the 70s, i'm not sure how

I have no experience dealing with something like this. I'm just wondering if/what I could do to actually make this look ok. Or would taking a brush cutter to it all be a good idea. I think I'd rather it be cleared, but it also looks like a ton of work and not sure if it's a good idea in general.

​

Will I ruin it if I trim it down along the top to make it more level? Would going along the back/front with a brush cutter to clean up the edges and straighten them make sense?

​

Here is a few pictures showing along the front and the back.
