Question:

What trade should I go for?

I'm currently a security technician (i do the installation for access control systems and so forth), so I do alot of electrical work (our company also does building automation and HVAC stuff so 've touched that too). I also have experience in carpentry and in the oil field. I want to know what trade i should be pursuing because i want to eventualling work on my own as a contractor. I liked doing resedential work in carpentry and i have a feeling that I'd like resedential electrical (and I dont mind the industrial electrical work I've done so far) work too. I like physically demanding work and I dont mind getting dirty i just want job security, and good pay. Suggestions?

Answer:

If its wired it will likely be AC current - which means you shouldn't touch anything in it that looks metalic - preferrably, don't play with it at all. If you want to put it back you should first disconnect the power from the house (turn off the main switch) and then see if you can reposition the unit. It must have clipped or screwed into the ceiling somehow. Once it is secure, turn the mains back on.
A pellet gun Is only good for hunting squirrels or anything smaller, target practice can be fun, But a police sniper rifle and a pellet gun are in completely different ball parks. But offer to pay for it yourself and take gun safety, it just shows her that you are serious and plus you may learn a thing or two about how guns operate and all that stuff.
When my wired smoke detector went off for no reason I took the cover off and found a light shinning and a sensor close to the light. I cleaned the sensor lens and it stopped. I works on how much of the light comes in. If the lens is dirty, it decreases the amount of light getting to the sensor.
It may be dirty and causing a reaction similar to smoke. You should really think about replacing it with one that you are sure of. They do not cost much and are well worth of it in case of a fire.
