2. Ive known a lot of splicers and linemen with that little experience, some have been good and some have just been.
3. I don't know if you know how to activate, only the guys that have to work behind you can answer that.
4. If the splicer can do a decent job the sweeper shouldn't have to troubleshoot anything.
5. As far as checking on the chickens, thats what I'm doing now.

> Don't you tkink I know how to activate? My housing to housing and pin fittings are all tight.If you can't sweep then you need to learn how to troubleshoot! You don't know me and I don't know you.I don't think that you have swept my work! Thank you.And now it's time for you to go out and check the CHICKENS Farm boy!!!!!!!

> Posting a picture is not always a good way to tell if something is correct, so much of what is done is not apparent until one tries to activate or sweep and certify the work. Loose conectors, long or short pins, improper padding or equalization are just a few of the things that can contribute to an individual getting a reputation as a hack.

I am not saying this is not happening because lord knows I have been shorted a few times myself when I had a different business. But, why doesnt everbody take ampmans' lead and post some pictures of their own work and let the other folks give them some critiques???
