EU On the Road - Why Should You be an Electrician?
The most important aspect of being an electrician, to me, is customer satisfaction. When you can go in somewhere and make something work that wasn't working when you got there, it's a great feeling. The adrenaline rush you feel when going hot for the first time in a new build. All the awesome people you get to meet and places you get to see. Honing your craft over years of labor and commitment. Being an electrician has been the best thing I've ever done in my life, and it has changed me for the better, forever.

Well everyone....the time is here! I'm in New York City for this year's #THDProSpective tool event and I'm about to find out what tool manufacturers will be sending me over the next year to test, review, and give away!
I've never been to New York City before and holy shit is it a big change from my small little piece of the Texas Hill Country. I'm used to seeing rolling green hills with trees and water surrounding everywhere. NYC has almost no greenery in sight. From the time you walk out of a building there's no perspective of nature around. It's pretty much concrete and brick everywhere and no view of the horizon. That being said I'm astounded what it looks like to have millions of people crammed into one city, all busy and tasked with important places to be. The pace of life here is incredible.
I met today at Facebook Headquarters in Manhattan and got to play around with their interactive displays, as well as meet with Home Depot execs about how the program will progress. Going forward every quarter I will be sent a group of tools from various big brands that Home Depot sells. I won't have much of a choice in WHAT I'm sent, only that every 3 months it will be a new bundle of goodies. I got training from Facebook on how to better use their platform, as well as how to integrate the #ThdProspective program with Instagram and Instagram Stories.
I've decided to do different giveaways on different platforms - mainly Facebook and Instagram - but each giveaway will be announced and given on different pages. I have a deep following with my Facebook and Instagram users based on a long term relationship that just is not possible through YouTube. So here are the steps you need to take if you want to have a chance to TOOL UP!
Step 1: Follow my Facebook Page /Journey2Master
Step 2: Follow my Facebook Page /TheElectricianU
Step 3: Follow me on Instagram @dustin.stelzer AND @electrician_u
If you simply subscribe to either the Journey 2 Master or Electrician U YouTube Channels YOU MAY MISS OUT ON THE GIVEAWAYS!
My reason for doing this is because I want the people who engage with me the deepest to have the best chances to win. There are some followers that communicate with me through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, AND YouTube and it helps me be able to keep long-term relationships going with them.
Thank you so much for the support lately my friends. I'm going to be trying very hard this year to maintain consistency with my posting as I know many of you have mentioned that being important to you.
Be well ~
Dustin

As electricians, we are in the business of building things. I think that is a given! But not all the projects we are tasked with building lead straight into the “building” phase. Many times, we are required to remove a building or parts of a building before putting the new one in its place. In todays episode of Electrician U, Dustin shows us a bit about the “Demo” phase of a project!

There are many sizes and scopes to a demo portion of the project. It can range from just removing/replacing the fixtures, to removing several walls, to tearing down a complete structure before building a new one in its place. Sometimes, the demo project will grow in size depending on what we find as we start tearing things apart! As a general rule, know what your trades individual scope is, and the overall vision of the demo project before you just randomly go to tearing into something! You don’t want to remove something that the overall person in charge wanted to stay, and we certainly do NOT want to make any situation less safe than need be!!
One of the things that a demo project does allow us to do is see directly into the past! Well, sort of! Codes and standards change over time; they don’t remain the same forever. A demo project allows us to go back to the codes/standards of a particular moment in time! So, it can be rewarding to see how the previous generations of electricians performed their craft. Seeing how someone else performed the same task as we do, can show us different ways of accomplishing the same thing that we maybe did not think of! It can also allow us to see how we can perform BETTER. For example, in the video, Dustin did find some wire joints that were NOT twisted together in the house he was demoing. Most of us know that our wire joints should be twisted together properly so they don’t peel apart when the wire connector is removed.
A demo project can also let us see different ways a project can be built. Throughout much of the country, projects are built on concrete slabs. But you may run into a project that is built on pier and beam (where the floor is built up off the ground on beams that are set on concrete piers in lieu of on an entire slab of concrete), and this may be something that you wouldn’t normally get to see in your travels! So, it can give us some exposure to different areas of construction where we can learn and grow in our crafts. Perhaps we can see the framing process as its happening or the plumbing as its going in, all of which is more knowledge for us!
As electricians, one thing we need to put some though into on a demo project is temporary power. If no provisions for an alternative temporary power source are made, at some point, we will be removing the available power, and no one will be able to plug anything in to do their work! As shown in the video, Klein Tools does make an awesome temporary power source called the KTB500. This is in essence a large battery capable of providing power to items. It can provide power to things on the low voltage (such as something plugged in with a USB cable) or it can also provide power to our 120v items (such as a radio or cordless tool battery chargers) so it is very versatile and an awesome compliment to an electrician’s tool kit!
We hope this has been an informative look into the demo phase of a project and allowed you to see into a portion of a project that you may not have been exposed to! Is there a topic you would like to see a video made on? Leave a comment in the section below and let us know!

In this episode I talk about how to wire and install 3 way switches and California (illegal) 3ways.
I start out by talking about in what situations you'd need a 3-way switch setup. A go step by step and wire two three way switches together and talk about the difference between the hot side and the switch leg side. The first half of the video is dedicated to wiring and installing a standard three-way setup, and the latter half goes into California 3-ways (illegal 3-ways).
In this episode I also talk about running wire neatly, stripping out wire properly, making good joints, and how to rough in and rip out wires in boxes vs how to install the actual three way devices. Finally I hook the circuit up and test it with a light bulb.
***Please note I am a licensed Master Electrician. These videos are for instructional purposes only and should not be attempted by non-electricians. Only attempt electrical work under the supervision of a licensed master electrician***
