I’m on Jeff David electric on the Manchester substation and I was told by a buddy who is a lineman that we’re looking at about three weeks. If you’re on entergy then you’re probably a lot sooner. ...

He probably lost his whirlybirds and had the holes covered like most people. My buddy had his in the threshold of his garage with the exhaust facing out and his co alarms went off.

I’ve lost some meat on my fingers to the table saw and miter saw. All avoidable and while I was doing sketchy stuff. Thankfully they all healed and I upgraded to a saw stop since my fingers are worth more than a few thousand dollars. ...
