What kind of electrician installs a box that the home owner bought at
Home Depot? Don't electricians bring their own equipment?

--

You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.

Thanks for all the help gents! I had an electrician come out
yesterday morning, for $60 an hour. He was done in less than three
and did an incredible job. (had to cut drywall and plywood sheathing
in
my garage to make the new Square D box fit)

I went to Homedepot the night before and got hte box for $159 with 5
20
amp breakers and bought various other breakers to bring the total to
$220 and change... I was exstatic.

Between the $220 for materials (bought it myself, took 5 minutes...and
I got to chat with the fellas at the hardware store, always fun) and
$180 for labor the total came to around $400! They quoted that it
would cost $700, until I told them I'd buy my own materials.

I was worried after seeing your postings, and am so glad now I have a
modern unit with plenty of expansion room... and it didn't even ding
my
remodel budget.

imho:

Yes, and typicaly they charge the customer fair retail value. The
idea I have is when the customer doesn't get 'everything' the
electrician can draw out the per hour rate by making additional trips
to the store.

Go figure.

there are all sorts of electricians.

the company owner who has a pyroll insurance and all sorts of stuff to
pay $$$$$$$$$$$$

The fellow down the street who used to work for a electrician and now
makes some side cash money no overhead doing jobs like these $$ he
knows how and can be safe mo overhead or income tax

IMHO, I got advice about trades people, from people who got burned by
part-time electricians/plumbers/tax advisors/etc:

1. If they are so good at it, whey don't they do it full time?

2. If they don't behave like professional business people, (license,
insurance, documentation) how 'professional' is the work.

Just thinking out loud....

lots of excellent tradespeople do side jobs for cash, avoiding lots of
tax and child support issues.

provided they do good work at low prices it proibably doesnt matter
except for the moral issues
