My son @mike_holmesjr ‘s friend is a licensed electrician and was working at a mall. A father and son walked by and the father said “This is why you need to go to school. So you don’t end up like him.”
We’ve got to change our perception of the skilled trades.
Somebody shared this with me on Facebook. THIS is why you always wear your safety gear, folks! I once had a close call when the knot from a piece of plywood flew up, and got me just under the eye when I wasn't wearing my gear. Since then, I wear them every time. @WurthCanadaLtd https://t.co/xg2J0ApLDq
During the winter, we tend to seal our homes up tightly, and the structure may not proper ventilation-which can impact the way we feel at home. If you don’t have an HRV to cycle in fresh, treated air open your windows for about 15 minutes to promote an air exchange #TipTuesday https://t.co/9m1vj6fI0n
