I did some everything that Waibel does while I was there, Commerical, Industrial, and Residential, including new work, service calls, and remodeling. I work self directed from my 2nd job ticket onward.

I worked at several locations for this company, including Nucor Steel in Marion, Ohio for Cogburn Electric, at Ohio State School for the Deaf and Blind for Jutte Electric, and the last 6 months of it for Waibel Electric at various locations, before they hired me.

Spent most of my time there working at Nifco Inc., changing their electrical circuitry to accommodate the moving of plastic presses, and associated equipment. We also did various other service work for them, mainly lighting, egress signs and lighting, small remodeling projects to the break room and office space, and for their UPS battery backup system. I started working self-directed and taking vans to jobs with this company.

Was sent to various assignments, but the most memorable was at Pax Industries in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where they built panels, switch gear and other high voltage distribution equipment. I worked on panels and gear. Spent a short stint at Whirlpool for pepper Construction also, doing general duties to prepare the building to be turned over. Electrical work was slow back then.

I installed Direct TV satellite equipment for Lika Communications.

Worked for One Call Building Services, during this time, performing various duties that were needed including minor electrical work, such demo, lighting repair, and troubleshooting.
