Got a job with a small cable company inhouse. Havent done cable in a while but was needing work and they were local and recently aquired by another company.So they would train me and it paid hourly .First thing in the morning im riding with a tech who enjoys heavy metal music and decided to blast it in the truck for the duration of the day without the courtesy of asking me if it was to loud or maybe he could stick headphones on. I was asked during the interview about this job being rural and would include running long drops and climbing under mobile homes .Which hey i have done in the past .But to my dismay when we got to one mobile home park the homes were bricked around the bottom with a small access hole to get under the house. For the most part a new experience for me as all the mobile homes that i have done in the past had skirting around them . Some of these homes had less than a foot of clearance underneath of them to the point the tech in some cases said he had to dig sand out to get underneath of a beam on the house because the homes had settled . And I was deamed to be claustrophobic because i wouldnt do that. And i am just one that would say that at what point do you say i will wrap the house and drill a hole to run the outlet instead of risking getting stuck underneath a mobile home . I know from experience most of the mobile homes i ever did had enough clearence to crawl under . Or just take a long section of pipe with a hook and pull the wire from one side to the other but since they had them bricked you couldnt do that. The same company that will do this says they wont do attic work and tells the customer to get an electritian . I dont have a problem going into attics but i do have issue with digging caves under houses to pull wire . What really hurts them in most cases is they still use docis 1 internet and dont offer wireless which would save alot of time running outlets unless the customer has a router. I know this i am not stupid to want to do this for 10 bucks an hour I think it is dangerous
