Now, its all about spreading...
For those of you who are thinking about hiring on with PG&E, DONT DO IT. They are offering sign on bonuses of $20,000. Whether you get the money or not is another issue.

In an apprentice tools thread you recommend a fu(kin ball peen hammer. Really? I have not once seen a ball peen hammer used in this trade, yet. Not on a journeyman linemans belt. You must have been...

Are they in the oil fields? Must be, cause that wouldnt be happening otherwise.
In the land of fruits, nuts, and flakes. California.
Are you a groundman?
