 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 MREC can do the twisting for you I disagree just take the time to do the pre-twist today. Let me tell you a little 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 was an extension cord and Which is no big deal, but this extension cord had two male cord ends on it So I asked the homeowner what this is 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 are 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 carbon monoxide 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 I hear this happening. I've never actually seen it so as I Talked when I said you can't do that. It's really losing. 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 you 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 Depot and get yourself a little like five-position transfer switch that will Just do the job for you just punch a hole through your wall through your garage Wherever you run a feed outside so that you can plug in a proper plug-in and a way you go You can get special transfer or yeah transfer switch plugs that have mail 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. So we are off to Whistler tomorrow Super-duper excited about it. Haven't been up to Whistler in a while. My kids are finally getting back to an age We used to go quite a bit used to go skiing But I had two young kids and made life a little bit difficult getting traveling because it's a three-hour drive Now they're four and two and I got a 14 year old sort of four and three and a 14 year old Actually, the four year olds almost five.
