Damn Goomba you forget more than I ever knew.. the most learning I ever had was the construction of the USA-TODAY printing facility in Miramar Fl, 2 yr. job,.. we were 1 of 3 elect. contractors on the job, the place had a separate BUILDING for the elect service to the main building, all the incoming service panels were in this building and everything was connected to the main building using Bus-Bar, EVERYTHING was huge ... had a separate room for Emergency Generators, separate room for A/C system power ( huge A/C chillers ) the press-installation crew were something to see .... they came in,.. in 6 Semi-trucks all matching uniforms, matching tool-boxes (like-new) they were a RIGID-arse team, each had a specific job and was a MASTER at it, sorta strict Military like, they were respected by EVERYONE on the job, total professionlism at it's finest, AND you did NOT mess with them or their "area" strictly forbidden !! 2 of us got "lit-up" one day with 440, working on overhead lighting in the "Paper Rolls ready-room", some a-hole flipped a wrong breaker while we 35 feet up on a cherry-picker hanging the 26 pound light fixtures, took 3 men on each fixture to mount those babies, good thing the "Panel guards-sman" was right there, he knocked off the breaker, N good thing we were safety-lined to the ceiling beams, that 440 schitt holds ya, and ya can't let go .. scary schitt !! musta been over 120 different panels and disconnects in that job each section, of each building, had its own "prints" and there were teams of USA-TODAY inspectors watching EVERYTHING !!as well as local county N city inspectors .. was a helluva an experience, single-phase, three phase 3 & 4 wire systems, DC control wiring, transformers, (which also had a separate room for the REALLY big stuff ) just overwhelming when ya step back a see just how much co-ordination and teamwork it takes to build something like this... was having lunch with a few of the "Elite press installers one day and told them how they impressed us, one of em said, this ain't schitt compared to what we worked on at the Missle-Launch Facility at Cape-Canaveral ( later Cape Kennedy) before we came to USA-T.. :thumbsup:..:thumbsup:
