LOL. I'm sure there is some liability from houses that were flipped during the boom with bad wiring that is the excuse, though.ChristyACBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396628757148282551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-56100902311466943502009-03-22T08:36:00.000-05:002009-03-22T08:36:00.000-05:00Good luck at your meeting today!Good luck at your meeting today!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100579796650378775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-13177109194199020892009-03-22T07:38:00.000-05:002009-03-22T07:38:00.000-05:00My dad was also an "electrician on the side" (i.e....My dad was also an "electrician on the side" (i.e. not licensed) and did all my rewiring in the old house I bought as a twenty-something. I would not have been able to afford a licensed one.

His previous employer carried them for him. We have laws like that, too, but do you think we or any family or friends hire a licensed electrician?

On our last investment house there is a city ordinance that you have to have a permit to do home improvement. Well, I told the painter he was to be my uncle if anyone asked and that's how we got by that. Like they always say...there's more than one way to skin a cat!!...debbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
