Hello There, 1 More Canuck To Add To The Board.


gragor here. In the electrical trade for about 18 yrs. Self employed, one man, electrical contractor for about 10 years now. Mostly I do residential rewires, service upgrades, small commercial lighting upgrades (PowerSmart) and the occasional festival or two.

I have recently been upgrading many 70a services for people who are being held to ransom by their insurance companies over the size of their main switches. Change the service size, the problem automagically goes away.

More work that I can handle or want to do.

I used to measure snow loads on buildings in areas with "higher that normal" amounts of snow on their roofs for the Division of Building Research, NRC, Canada. I have lots of opinions and pics of how not to finish roof lines, install services & locate building entrances in high snow areas.

Live around the corner and over the hill from reveivl.
We worked together on a very fancy sauna a couple of years ago.

I'll try to make it back more often that once a year. I promise.
