I normally don't blow my own horn, but several folks thought I should in this case.

[minor boast]It all started innocently enough. After helping dad re-wire the Chicago two-flat as a tyke; working on stage crew through HS & college; I see the need, and re-wire my house. This leads to the occasional side job through work (FD), and then to correspondence school, and a "regular" side gig.(trades know - eight week batches of work with four-week vacations in between! [;)])

Finally apply, and am allowed to challenge the Code Exam.

SIX YEARS, three hours and 60 questions later, I can finally say:

"I'm a licensed Electrician"

[/minor boast]


Hope Dad has a cigar upstairs for this one, boys. He didn't live to be here for it, but I think he's here in spirit just the same.

Thanks, Pop.

(And Jen, my Wife)
