Being an Electrician is about providing EXPERT service at a modest price.

I've been doing Electrical work for almost 30 years. I've wired houses, apartments, hospitals, warehouses, gas stations, ATM's, hotels, convenience stores, grocery stores, shopping centers, etc etc etc...

I love to work.
I'd rather under charge. It is NOT possible to become rich on one job.
It is better to under charge and stay busy.
Let me earn your business and your referrals.
I can do small or large jobs.


I'm flexible and willing to work 7 days a week to fit your schedule.

Re: Laugh Of The Day: A Couple Craigslist Ad's


you know what - i think i figured it out


see - this guy LOVES to work.


i DO NOT like to work. I tolerate - and do have some fun moments (but usually it's when someone else is doing the work) - but for the most part, I'd rather not be working.



so, if he enjoys working that much - he WILL do it for free. Even if he has to pay for the travel between Texas and Maryland. Or Pennsylvania. Where ever he's from

If your only worth $7 an hour, than that is what you get payed, I don't see the problem. I know plenty of guy's trying to get into the electrical trade, that are not even worth free labor.
