Congratulations! It's nice to see others excell in the best trade of all.

Makes me feel old (which I am) but I have a lot of great memories of back then.

I sent you a pm of a joke the guy who taught me the trade told years ago. I didn't want to take a chance and offend anyone here.

Congratulations! Hard work that will pay off the rest of your life. I've been "hit" with volts up to 480VAC but the worst was 300VDC, made me sit down and ponder for a while on that one!

Congrats, Benny. Glad you passed the first time. That test is a lot easier then it used to be when I took it. It used to be 6 hours with open, closed, and calculations, now I understand it is only open book. The worst part of the whole thing is Florida doesnt require a license to do electrical work, but to cut hair you need a license. I guess they figure you could burn down a house but not cut hair bad, I mean WTF? Sorry just a little venting. Anyways good job Ben.
