Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
For those following the channel story of Joel’s never-ending house rewire, let’s just say, there’s plenty more work to do. The Walsman’s bought their 1938 home knowing that the electrical needed serious attention, and so this is not a video endorsing any of the practices you see. Instead, it just so happens to be a single location where we can show you most of the common issues we see across jobsites daily! Feel free to chime in in the comments with which violation you stumble across most often.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
