Retirement giving

[jvarnell]

I have been thinking on what I am goint to do when I retire (in the future) and have decided that I want to wire houses for habitat for humanity. I worked as an electrician (residential and commercial) from 1977 to 1979 before going to work at Dallas Power and light while I was ni school. I need to find a part time (weekends) electrician job to get time in so I can take my journeyman and Masters license test. The test is nothing just getting the time is. So is there anyone in the south part of Dallas county out there that needs an electrical helper.

I think if I can get my journeymans ticket before I retire I can work one or two days a week for HFH and still have time to travel. It only takes a day to rough in a house and then a day for the finish work.

I don't see myself just retireing and then playing golf and I need something to do and I liked working when I was working as an electriction.

How long does it take for one to get their journeymans verification in Texas?

4000 hours but I have 2030 hours I did in the late 70's.

Cool, I think it's roughly the same up here, for culinary red seal it's 5600 hrs.
