Free trade-vertical carousels

Same playbook —
your trade on the cover.

Four 12-slide carousels — electrician, plumber, HVAC, GC — built off the same proven post pattern as the universal one, but with the prompts re-tuned for what your trade actually faces on a Tuesday. Pick yours, repost, tape it to the trailer wall.

Electrician

For the apprentice with a tool bag and a phone.

Electrician — cover slide

Decode an unfamiliar breaker from a photo, translate NEC sections into homeowner English, draft a service-load calc, write an IBEW-friendly apprentice ad. Plus the universal trades stuff (estimates, follow-ups, past-due notes).

#electrician #ibew #apprentice #necode

Plumber

For the second-year who keeps Googling the same fittings.

Plumber — cover slide

ID a fitting or cartridge from a photo, translate IPC sections into something a homeowner or inspector can read, draft a permit narrative the township will accept first try. Plus the universal trades workflows.

HVAC

For the install tech who hates when the diag chart is wrong.

HVAC — cover slide

Decode a compressor / capacitor / contactor from a photo, sanity-check a Manual J before you size the equipment, run a 5-question diagnostic before you roll a truck, find a refrigerant cross-ref. Plus the universal trades workflows.

General contractor

For the PM with 14 subs, 6 RFIs, and 2 hours of daylight left.

General contractor — cover slide

Turn a confused field photo into a 4-line RFI, gut-check a sub bid against the drawings, draft a change order from "we opened the wall and found…", reshuffle a schedule when one trade slips. Plus the universal trades workflows.

How to post it

A 30-second posting playbook.

  1. 1.

    Download the zip for your trade, unzip on your phone or laptop.

    12 PNGs, named in order. Files and Photos can both open them straight from the zip.

  2. 2.

    New IG or TikTok post → select all 12 → keep the order.

    Both support 12-image carousels. Files are named 01–12 so the order is preserved.

  3. 3.

    Caption: paste from caption.txt, edit to your voice.

    Each carousel ships with a caption.txt that teases the 4 most-clickable prompts and includes the right tag stack for that trade. Open it from the card above.

  4. 4.

    Tag a shop owner who'd benefit.

    The whole point is to land in front of someone who'll save half a Saturday because of it. That's the win.
