Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
A customer had recently lost power to half of her house, then the power would return suddenly. I had to really think hard and come up with a solutions to discover the problem because this could of burn her house down. First I climbed up in the attic to inspect the wiring, she told me she recently had raccoons living up in the attic. I found no damage to the wire. Second, I inspect the Panel and notice there was no Main Breaker, third I located the Main Disconnect and notice the terminals were black and I knew I was getting close to the problem. Finally I inspected the Service Drop and notice the insulation was melted, because the two lines where touching on a windy day. I thought I was going to lose the rest of my hair and happy that I was able to discover the problem and everything took 2 hours.
