A little Milwaukee Tool Force Logic M18 knockout action. Picked this tool up yesterday and I'm already in love. It's so much more efficient than the hydraulic and ratchet style knockouts!

Had a really nosey client who watched my every move yesterday. Normally I hate this, but for some reason it didn't bug me nearly as much this time!

Had a service call at a long time client's building. One of their motor had quit working. Upon arriving our electrician noticed that the C phase of the 3 phase motor was completely burnt up. The motor had been single phasing due to a squirrel knocking down phases A and B and as a result had been putting very high currents through C phase! You can see the melted marrette on the bottom of the junction box. Once power was restored by EPCOR, we were able to test the winding of the motor, replace the damaged conductors and get everything fired back up! Needless to say, that squirrel won't be making that mistake again!

The City of Edmonton has a new program offering rebates of 50% off for residential and commercial EV chager installation! We can even apply for you as your contractor to keep your paperwork to a minimum. This is a first come first serve program, so if you have been thinking of installing an EV charger at your home or office, get in touch with us today! https://www.edmonton.ca//environmen/electric-vehicles.aspx

You haven't struggled until you've tried to line up 20 conduits in a 24x24" junction box by yourself . This was one of many distribution points for a Building Management System installed in a pipe mill in Edmonton. All our prep work for conduits under the slab paid off big time as the wire pulls and finishing went seamlessly!

Bonding of reinforcing steel and all metal parts in and around a pool is vital for the safety of everyone using the pool. All rebar, deck boxes, lights, metal diving board supports, ladders, and more are required to be bonded back to the electrical panel feeding the pool equipment.
