- Welcome back guys!!! It’s been a minute, I’ve been working nonstop so I haven’t been able to edit but don’t worry I’ve been recording so more is coming soon. I apologize this video is vertical i didnt film the first two parts properly 😭. This is the first and second parts of the outdoor car wash system for the vacuum system and other outdoor power necessities. Again this job isn’t completed so before you comment about a missing ground or the VFD overheating from non vented enclosure please hold your breath until parts 3 & 4 😂 #electrician #femaleelectrician #lextheelectrician #commercialelectrician #construction #3phase #bluecollar #fypシ
Hi! I'm currently a junior in high school, and I just wanted to say you really inspired me! I've applied for my local electrical program, so hopefully I get in! Thanks for your content and all you do!
Hey me too! Im in my first year of my electrical program and these videos are amazing!!! I get so excited for all the stuff I am going to learn and I’m even more excited to be out on the field. These vids really do make me inspired. I love how she actually explains wtf shes doing it’s so informative.
Good Luck. It's definitely not a field for everyone. Personally I think its better to have atleast some mechanical skills before getting in, by that I mean basic hand tool operations, drills etc... I've been an electrician for 21 years and trained dozens upon dozens of helpers who some were top in their class but couldn't muster the field. Definitely not being a Debbie downer just work real hard and train hard. Best of luck 👍
go straight to a union hall and apply when you get out of school.
Thanks! It's a high school program that allows me to work part time as an apprentice before I graduate. I'm not sure if I want to purse it fully yet, but I'm excited! @@TimboStang71
You should apply to the union since it takes awhile. But you need your high school diploma and at least a year of algebra with a C or better. Once you got those you can apply to the union to start your apprenticeship . They will require you take the aptitude test and get a passing score plus pass the panel interview. But if this is a trade you want to pursue id say go for it just remember its alot of hard work. Best of luck.
Young lady; you are a beast!!
seeing you make quick work of the readjustment was awesome! great job.
Turns out, hard working women are the best medicine, my little girl wants to be an electrician too. I'd be the happiest man ever to watch my little get trained by someone like you.
Just a babe working hard, something to see here. DANG, your keeping me from depression, in real life.
YOU are a TOTAL BADASS! I swear I get so much inspiration from you. Nothing stops you!! You just figure it out, no matter how difficult and I swear it seems like you're the only one working in all these vids. haha
I always got a like for Lexi. The struggle was real for her on this job.
Inside those metal junction boxes… If you don’t wear ear plugs or other protective gear, your ears will pay for it. I never used to when I was younger. Now I wish I did 😭. Not deaf, but DO have hearing loss 😩
Be safe, and keep up the great work 🦾🦾🦾
Very resourceful!!! GIRL, you made it work. Keep up the magnificent, work!!!
Great job...it's awesome to see people that take pride in their work.
41yo sparky here recommending to you and other young tradies, that you carry a high density foam pad in your packout. I find knee pads too cumbersome to work with. If I'm going to be on my knees for any length of time I'm on that foam. Trust me, protect those knees. That's the area where I can already feel the wear and tear from not knowing enough to care in my 20s and 30s.
I was lucky enough to find a 4 by 8' by 2" rubber tek insulation that insulators left at a job site after insulating some large chillers. Cut it up in several lengths to both knee on & a 5' long one to lay on. Tried several strap on knee pads and after week them awhile were uncomfortable.
Watching your video because i have a female relative who is an electrician and was interested to see what this job is like. Definitely seems like hard work. You are doing a great job. 👍
When you're drilling holes for quickbolts/wedge anchors it can be helpful to drill them a couple inches deeper than you need. That way if you have to move something later you can knock the old one all the way in the hole and move on. Cutting them is a pain and eats up blades.
Every schoolkid in the USA needs to watch this. Don’t preach it….DO IT. Another outstanding video, Lexi.
She gets a new freckle everytime her skill level increases😊. Glad i discovered this channel im about to learn some good stuff. Thanks lil lady!
Behind every hardworking woman there is a man ! Welcome to our world lady
Wow!
Wow, Lexi! I already admire you and your work, but on this one you took it to another level!
I loved how you used the bracing of the nailed-in ladder to straighten the freshly installed post to get it properly vertical/plumbed/leveled.
To add the icing to the cake, you then showed how you wrestled the new 600-MCM copper into their new lugged terminations.
I’m glad you voiced-over details such as nailing your ladder into the right position (so as to maintain the proper vertical positioning of the new position of the new post.
Too, your clarification about why you (only) had your apprentice perform the termination ONLY on the neutral 600MCM (because, in a pinch, that at least could be (more easily) reterminated.
I’m a network (a low-voltage boy, here) engineer and, but I have worked in the largest data centers. I - as you - take pride in my work, and if the DoD … or the XYZ (three-letter acronym of your choice) Agency would allow me to, I’d film my working on my deliverables as you do - or of the finished product.
In my environments, getting 60 Amps, or 100 Amps pulled into a single rack/cabinet represents the high end of power needs for an IT rack.
Side-note - true story - I worked on one engagement where the customer was so proud of the work on the cabling in the DC (data-center) plenum, that they replaced some of the raised-floor tiles with clear-acrylic floor tiles - so as to show off the neatness of cabling!!
One other thing - I use the same green Little Giant ladders, too! GMTA!! (Great Minds Think Alike!) By the way, - Little Giant - they make a big extendible ladder that I want to get, that extends to, like, 19 feet!! Like the aluminum ones, but a) lighter, and b) doesn’t get your hands dirty when/as you handle the ladder and schlep it in and out of your van, and c) is non-conductive!
Check it out! Review that! My guess is that Little Giant will love your review.
Keep it up, Lexi! If I weren’t so entrenched as a network guy, I’d turn a new leaf and become an electrical engineer because of you!
I just love this girl. Good for you being a trades girl. Being an electrician who knows her shit secures excellent job security. I hope you live a long and happy life and successful career. Good for you gurl
Lexi gets it! “Because that’s what the customer wants”
Love your videos. As many others have said, you are a beast with those big wires, lifting that panel off by yourself. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi, I just wanted you to know that you really hit the target. I'm a licensed master plumber in business for over 35 years . I love my trade and watching you only makes me love it more.. You are my hero. PS I live your boots! What kind are they?and my daughters name is Lexi. Great name, great work, great boots!
She’s awesome 💯💯💯💯 from Australia 🇦🇺😊
You are an amazing woman. Any man should count themselves very lucky to be with you. You have it all, your beautiful, smart, and hard working very rare in today's world
You are a very resourceful young lady. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great work! Electricians do it all! I love how you are learning on the job about your Simpson brackets and which one to use. Definitely the wrong base to start out for that size job. And I love how you improvise using leverage to get the job done when you don't have help! You are really awesome. I enjoy your videos so keep them up
Hope a lot of younger people are watching your videos. Trades are the way to go. fantastic work......
I hope you can inspire more young women to do this kind of work!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for you videos they all help a lot for the new generation .
Worked in a 65 maintenance shop where luckily we had one gang of young strong guys called the bull gang. They did all the heavy lifting and had them donkeys carry large cable up to roofs and help pull large long cable pulls.
I hope you inspire many more young adults!!
For those who think partying your life away is the coolest thing to do, think again!!!
You won't be sorry !!
I’m an avionics technician at a heavy maintenance facility and much like you I do a lot of kneeling down on the ground and please take my advice here and get yourself a good set of knee pads because if you stay in this field of work for 30+ years you’re knees are going to be destroyed by the end of it.
Car washes are an interesting project. I did one for the Hoffman's in the Albany NY area a few years back. Nice job!
Lexi your killing it out there! Great job!👍
hi! you are famous here in Brazil. excellent job
Very impressive young lady!
I’m an architect and we are also construction managers. You are amazing! Wish you were in the Philadelphia area!
That ladder leverage bit was clutch 🤙
Hello beautiful. Yes it is usually after you did all the hard work. . I amd happy you move the bracket and do it right as I know you will. The wood looks good with the panels on it. Three big wires are very hard to push through a pipe. Green lee makes some good electric tools too. Love you. ❤❤❤❤
Killer Setup,…very clean. 👍🏽
That's some sexy panel work great job I love to see people take pride in their work
Love freckles
I'm a journeyman electrician.
Good job.
Moving a rack is a B,t,h!
💋
Good to hear you let your apprentice do some of the work. Journeymen have a duty to teach the up and coming people in the trade.
Also, I've already commented on some of your videos about ladder safety but *wags finger* that's not the right way to use a step ladder.
Oh wow that's awesome way to go kid
Hello from New Zealand. Keep up the great work 👍😁
Lexi get a concrete anchor setter attachment for your hammer drill
Its great for hanging cans on block
I believe there is fishing wire to pull the wires thru the tube as well lubricant to make easier to push thru while being pull from the other side.
Lexi, you are a beast!💪 A beautiful beast!!
Excellent and informative
Bad ASS!!!! 💪🏼 no back all GLUTES on the lift 😁🤘🏼
I have been in this trade along time and you do great work but as professional as i am it would be really hard to work around you everyday. You are way to beautiful to be on a jobsite, i can only imagine the roofers and framers on some of the big projects ive worked on 😂😂
Great job! 😀
Zero criticism just respect for you girl 👊🏽👊🏽
You blow my mind with how together you are! If I was your age I'd be thinking what a great mate you'd make!!
😂
Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend
Those Simpson post bases are designed for compression and uplift loads only such as for decks. The wet set bases would have been better for lateral loads for your application.
*Holly Shit* ❤😂 I feel you the entire video hahaha
She's got the skills I'll never have and the knowledge.
You're very impressive young lady, but just one suggestion please wear ear protection. Not only does it protect your hearing in the future it makes for a much more pleasant working environment. You can even get the 3M headphones that you can listen to music from your phone and take phone calls when they come in. Those tools make a lot more noise than you think. It all adds up.
Great work
Can wait to see the next video of this fit out
Also the video on the Milwaukee tools 😎👍
You did an awesome job so I liked what you think
You are a rock star!🌟
Nice to see Milwaukee finally sponsoring trades ppl. 👍🏾
yup all tool co need 2 do thatas plumber wood like 2 try m18 pipe thaedr my rep sez he will call agin it dont hert them 2 get there stuff out there anytrade
Amazing job
I love watching your videos.
Your bitchin. 😂 You get in the grind and get it done. Retired electrical engineer myself. I some times miss it so ill just watch you work your ass off..😂😂😂 love your site..❤
I think the white wire needs to loop on top lug otherwise in time it could slip out . I think you all did a great job and sorry if I offended you was not my intent.
Non union outfit. Happy trails
How in the hell you did this by yourself… props , wow, you make it happen!!!
Great Video 👍
I would have snapped a chalk line first to ensure the posts were mounted in a straight line. After that install your boards then add the electrical. Trying to install the electrical equipment first seems backwards to me. But final product looked great.
You’re awesome!
I love your videos. I always wear safety glasses when doing electrical work. Just wondering why you don’t. I wish you did because I would not like to see you have an eye injury.
Dude..
You are one badass chick..
Put that apprentice to push that wire through youve done alot of heavy lifting for the day..lol
Nice quality good job
We were not allowed to have boxes or panels sitting directly on the ground both indoor & outdoors. Would Install one or two pieces of unistrut to raise it off floor. I have worked with 600 MCM & you did a great job working with it. Strong like bull.
love your videos! you deff had to think outside the box working alone but you got it done!
Those freckles 🥰
Another job well done 👍
You're an animal! Good work 👍
That's fantastic! I would love to see a medical x-ray install! Maybe a new clinic opens up in your area?
Nice work 👍🏾
That's why you drill the holes deeper than the anchors,
Good work and looking lovely lady 🌹
Good work.
Good job
The title had my brain going in a different direction. Still a good video.
Me gusta cómo trabajan, son super eficientes, no andan con tonterías como aquí en España.
Respect ✊
Good work lexi !! Keep it up !
Lucky Kyle for getting to work with you. I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on the job 😅
Mighty🔥
That's hilarious! That's a Hoffman single door 3-point box. I see those everywhere these days. Now, on here. LoL. Are they any good, and how's the customer service with them?
Girl got skills!
ALOHA FROM HAWAII 🌺🌺🌺
Берегите руки - они золотые...
Good job honey I'm impressed❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Lexi is a pretty woman electrician ❤😊
Looks good!
Mami wear a belt. Back pain is infinit. Safety always first.😁🇺🇸🇵🇷😁
Always drill through unless you are using chem anchors
My boss would murder me if he caught me with that much extra 600mcm Cu. Luckily he’s never on the jobs 😂
