I needed to run a few Ethernet cables
I needed to run a few Ethernet cables under my house I used to run all my own until I had my knees replaced I don t crawl anymore so I called the local electrician Mr Electric The electrician showed up on time and was clean and well spoken He donned his footies and I explained what I wanted He worked up an estimate on a brand new iPad confirmed with his boss that the estimate was correct then broke me the bad news 1500 to install 3 wall boxes and run 3 wires I figure that was a 3 hour job but even if I give them 5 hours a real stretch that s 300 an hour I said thanks but no thanks The technician put on a really good face but he was clearly embarrassed by the amount of the estimate I gave them two stars because the electrician was so nice and for the pretty yellow truck
