My Most Recent Project Well I know I've been absent from this site for the last year or so, and I haven't gotten any new lights in that time anyways (I think my collection is complete for now). However last Monday I replaced my Dad's panel and I thought I'd share it with you guys. We went from a fuse panel to breakers. It was fun project, with a little bit of stress to get it done before 4:00 PM since that's when the inspectors stop working for the day. It did pass inspection fine and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Keywords: Miscellaneous

Nice job! It looks like you extended some of the old wires to meet the new panel. Razz

Thanks Joe! I did have to extend five wires, the three going into the big junction box are for the kitchen split receptacles, I have no idea what the other two do. I also replaced two wires that went a few feet to the washer and dryer.

Thanks! Like I said in my PM I'm 17 right now, but I want to be an electrician. Very Happy

Same! If I do im starting around now it would be a good time to do so.

I took co-op last year and plan to again this year, it really is a great experience if you can do it. I'd seriously consider it if I were you!

I don't know if my school has it. What school did you go to?
gailgrove   [Aug 24, 2013 at 03:15 AM]
I believe all schools in Peel have it, ask in the guidance office. I go to Turner Fenton.

Hmm I thought the Coop was a Ontario thing, I went to HS in York Region and they also had it.

Welcome back Niall Smile Nice to hear from you again.
Model25FanForever   [Aug 24, 2013 at 06:37 PM]
I guess they might, il have to ask my guidance counselor
gailgrove   [Aug 24, 2013 at 06:49 PM]
Thanks rjluna!
You should definitely ask, I assume you're going into grade 11? If so you can take it either this year or next, or both if you want!
Model25FanForever   [Aug 24, 2013 at 06:50 PM]
Yea probably both whats the program called?
gailgrove   [Aug 24, 2013 at 06:53 PM]
Just co-op, guidance should be able to tell you everything you need to know. You can also take OYAP like I did. If you do that, you can put your co-op hours towards an apprenticeship.

Thanks Razz
gailgrove   [Aug 24, 2013 at 07:09 PM]
Here's a link for your school. Wink
Model25FanForever   [Aug 24, 2013 at 07:41 PM]
Thanks! I hope I can get in without a hassle
streetlight98   [Aug 24, 2013 at 11:13 PM]
is a co-op program similar to a vocational program?
joe_347V   [Aug 25, 2013 at 12:44 AM]
IIRC Coop is basically a program where the school helps you find a short job placement where you work as a apprentice, since I never enrolled in it I'm not sure if the company that hires you teaches you or the school teaches you.

There's different fields like accounting, retail, plumber, electrician to name a few.
