I do home wireing , xbox mods, xbox repairs, pc repairs, drywall, heat and ac work, and sometimes just to shake it up i do car audio and tune ups.
I do what it takes to keep my house tax paid and my guts full.

The one thing i find in all work with wire is dont ask the guy next to you if he shut off the power, look for yourself.
220 from a stove outlet went up my left arm and put me on the floor, all cuz i took my dads word for it when he said "yeah i think i turnd it off."

yeah that was one of the first things that we were taught in class and the 2nd thing my teacher told me to do is when ur troubleshooting a heatpump with the power on or anything with the power on for that matter is to keep one hand in ur pocket if possible...that way if u do get hit then it'll go to ur feet instead going across ur chest and through ur heart that was a good lesson to learn haha
OVER 400 POSTS!! WOOT WOOT!! haha (i had to throw that in there lol) _________________

I'm a Reporting Analyst for RBS Credit Cards, interesting stuff eh! Isn't bad at the moment though, spending alot of time writing vba macros in Word, Excel and Access. I've got it pretty eash though, me and my boss play Dawn of War online in our spare time so we're buddies.
I even have time to search XBox-HQ for new forum posts Can't be bad.
The other month 4 of us had a burger eating contest at lunchtime at McDonalds. We had to see who could eat the most quarter pounders in 30 mins. I had almost 4 of them, didn't eat hardly anything for the next 2 days. The grease, MMMmmmmm...
We are trying to think of our next contest, any ideas???

I own a garage/parts store where we do the basic mechanic work, mild customizing, and car stereo installs. I also do PC repairs and mod Xbox's and PS2's on the side. _________________
