so it begins

I don't think anyone even reads this anymore but oh well. For those who read this and don't know, I finally registered with the Ministry of Training and Colleges on Wednesday(15). My apprenticeship has officially begun. Only 8200 more hours. It's supposed to be 9000 but the guy from the ministry was able to knock off 800. 500 because I graduated grade 12 (only need to have grade 10 to become an apprentice), and 300 for the two months I already worked. So that's pretty awesome. To date, I only have 8167.5 more hours to go. Giddy-up. So ya apparently hand-chiseling into a brick wall is a lot of work. Once again I say, why must we keep doing renovations. Or at least get some stupid shallow boxes. ugh. I've wired up most of this house we are working on. James has been busy doing framing which he apparently also learned, so it's been up to me and Junior. James seems to know everything. He's always telling the other guys how to do their jobs. It's pretty funny hearing them arguing over stuff. We're almost done the house which is being turned into two apartment suite thingys. Should be nice once it's all done. Tomorrow we have to run some PVC conduit before they pour the concrete for a pool pump which we will later hook up I guess. Or maybe we'll do that too. I don't know. We'll have to see. I think there was something else that happened in the past two weeks that I was gonna write about. If I think of it I'll write in in later.
