How often do i change out my hardhat?

Ive bumped my head a million times on strapped conduit and beams, no falls or drops on helmet but im concerned about the reliability at this point! Also i like my stickers so id rather use it as long as i can! Lol

1000 feet of conduit to run today, not so ecstatic. Who loves running pipe till their hands bleed and callous? I Do!

Should i run pipe first then strap or the strap as i go?

I feel like it doesn’t really matter but running the pipe is faster but strapping slows me down so I figure should i run and strap while i go or come back to strap after running the pipe ?.. idk just throwing it in the wind

1975 Douglas Junior High year book (all black school) thrift shop find

Pretty cool piece of history found while thrifting im assuming most of the students in this yearbook would be in their late 60s and early 70s by now, the staff may very well be long gone or around 100. Looks to be post segregation i only see 2 white people in the entire book but this school appears to be in SE DC. Maybe they were still segregated idk im pretty young. Either way this is my find.
