Hey, what's up Academy, it's Chad here. I thought I would just do my quick little rant before I go for my run. Yesterday we talked or I talked about what did I talk about yesterday? Oh, yeah, the pre-twist. Yes, I think the consensus is I had one person say that they think that the Mret can do the twisting for you. I Disagree just take the time to do the pre-twist today. Let me tell you those story I went and looked at a job once and I walked into the garage and I was checking out the panel in the garage and I noticed below the panel there is an extension cord Which is no big deal, but this extension cord had two male cord ends on it So I asked the whole owner what this was all about because we call those Widow makers or suicide cords for obvious reasons because if you plug one side in the blades on the other side They're going to be live am I right? Just think about that for a second you apprentices if you've never come across these things Do not make these things do not ever make an extension cord that has two male plugs So I asked what was going on with that and they thought they were brilliant because there was a receptacle below their panel there and so what they said is in power outs outages what they do is they take their gen set Outside the garage because there's you know, they don't want to have curb him an oxide poisoning fire that bad boy up plug in on one side plug into the receptacle and back feed to their panel and I was like what and And I hear this happening. I've never actually seen it so I Talked and I said you can't do that. It's really like no, no, it's okay I had an electrician friend of mine tell me it's okay just as long as they turn off my main breaker Now there's lots of things wrong with that story There's no way an electrician should be telling anybody to make a male to male cord end So don't ever do that they call them honestly they're called suicide cords or widow makers So not worth it if somebody asked you to do it tell them no If they ask if they should do it tell them no There's ways around this you can get transfer switches pretty cheap You can just go to home deep on get yourself a little like five position transfer switch that will Just do the job for you just punch a hole to your wall It's your garage wherever run a feed outside so that you can plug in a proper plug in And away you go you can get special transfer or yeah transfer switch plugs that have male ends on them So do not make the widow maker. It's it's not worth it What are you guys seeing out there? Can you put in your comment below there if you've seen anything dumb something like that or something that Somebody's argued with you or wanted you to do that is completely you know is unethical or illegal I would love to hear about it Definitely can you share this around I would like to hear what's going on out there in the field What you guys are running up against and Yeah, that's it. I'm gonna go for my run. I hope you guys have a great day It is the long weekend here in BC.
