Reno:
The 'cheap' virus is up here also, and without being offensive, the area is not the poorest. I see it, and it is increasing.
One side, save the required permit fees, and 'just do it', resulting in $2k in fines, permits, failed inspections, and corrections. Two (2) recent whole house genset installs.
More common of late is 'hiring the lowest' price, or bidder. Recently, service modifications at a shopping center, stretched out to an 18+ hour disaster. It was scheduled for 12 midnite Sat shutdown, and 8-9AM Sunday inspect and reconnect. Well, 6:10PM Sunday it was re-powered. Results, one days lost business for 3 resturants, and a very unhappy party that had to cancel.
