So we don't go to restaurants, kids aren't signed up for anything, and we are just staying home during  spring break? Sounds like my childhood.

Some Digital Solutions During the Virus
By Susan Merlo - Next Level iMedia Marketing

While I don’t think there’s anything that can be considered positive about an event that wreaks havoc on the world, two items I read this morning were semi-uplifting and worth sharing — sort of like a how-to on making lemonade from the lemons we’ve been handed.

The first was that, in 1665, the University of Cambridge temporarily closed due to the bubonic plague. Isaac Newton had to work from home, and he used this time to develop calculus and the theory of gravity. (And, if you follow @AriannaHuffington on LinkedIn, you already knew that.)

Going Fishing – for Wire
Chuck Ross

Getting new wire to new fixtures and receptacles can be a challenging task. Fishing tape is one of the tools electrical contractors frequently turn to, to make the job a bit easier. This is especially true when wire or cabling is installed in conduit. Contractors can choose from tapes in steel, stainless steel, fiberglass and nylon, and each of these offers advantages to meet an application’s specific needs.





Meters – An Electricians Best Friend
Steve Maurer, IME

A coworker once came up to me, air-door pressure switch in hand. As he passed it to me, he said," This switch is fried … it needs a replacement."

This type of switch rarely goes bad. It just doesn't get that much use. So, I asked him what his meter read when he tested it.





How to Add Power to Your Wire-Fishing Efforts
Chuck Ross

Getting wire from point A to point B can require some ingenuity. Fishing tape is one popular manual option, but it can be time-consuming and can put some strain on installers’ joints. Depending on site conditions, contractors also can turn to machine-powered options to make the job a little easier. Power fishing can be a labor-saving alternative for all or part of a wiring installation job.
