Message: [QUOTE="Da_Aisijimo_Gou, post: 2508484, member: 264"] Guess it reflects current market conditions, the plumbers, electricians, or other tradesman, the prospective customer, or some combo. Aside from admittedly the real possibility of customer considerations in my case ;), we had one of each effectively say "Thanks, but no thanks. I don't cut sheet rock. Or, I'm too busy to bother now". Granted, [I]good tradesman[/I] pretty much dictate whatever they want to do or not to do, charge reasonable profit+bonus rates, etc. in our market. Hence, even this unskilled clown (me) successfully opened up some sheet rock, cut some holes under the watchful gaze of a far more skilled, experienced, and omniscient retired EE neighbor, prepped pipe access for plumber repairs, flipped out old switches for GFIs and powerful new bathroom fans, and running G6 cable to several rooms. Guy's a Grandfatherly God-send, saves me good dinero, and keeps sharing his time-tested, well-made tools, e.g., "I've got a few of them, just keep it. You'll help me with something later". [/QUOTE]
