 " Interesting story today, had another electrician come over for a check, here is what he told me: "


                                                Thief



The dirtbag isn't stretching the truth, he's lying. Know any DA's??

Thief, maybe, or just very ill-informed.
Either way it was amusing.

Having family & friends in the trades makes me very unforgiving.....

Funny thing is he told Nancy and I he had his Maine electricians license.
I sure hope that no one gets hurt.

Wow, the Maine electrician licensing exam must have been "dumbed down" by the same group that designed the FCC exams.  So we have extra class hams who can't build a HF dipole and an electrician who is unaware of the stepdown pole pig but believes in the magical breaker box genie that converts 7200 down to 240 volts.

Your generator project is certainly interesting and entertaining!

I'd run from that guy as fast as I can.

The electrical contractor license test is a standardized test and it is not easy - I am talking about the Masters test not the journeyman's test. It is not about theory but about the code for the most part. If you know the code book, then it's not too hard  - If not - you will be in trouble.

No way that you have any 12470/7200 volt equipment in your house or anyone else's house (unless is Ham equipment - a pole pig)

Labor rate around here is about $35 per hour for a burdened electrical worker on average.

So the quote that you have is for about a weeks work plus profit.  A couple of guys 2 1/2 days is probably right.
