Scott, Oh well, that puts a whole new angle on it. $350??, that's a LOT of money for something that looks pretty simple!. Sven, Dude, that's assuming you had ANY taste to begin with!!!! I could add to this list, politeness and any idea what it is to do a decent day's work. I hate working for people that got thier money through inheritance (and there's a few of them over here), they scream and whinge about the amount of THIER money they have to spend, to do the smallest of jobs. (To quote Aerosmith)Eat the Rich!.

And......
Has anybody else noticed how it's often the people in $500,000+ houses with annual incomes in the stockbroker class who keep you waiting the longest for payment?
The average Joe around my area usually pays straight after the job's done, and many of them are there cash-in-hand as you're packing up to leave!

I saw the folks latest "fixture", a chandelier that didn't look too bad to hang...until I went to lift it, and found it's made of cast iron. Topped out my 75 pound scale, and then some. I was also informed that some recessed sconce fixtures should be arriving at any time. Ought to be interesting??...S

Electure,
Orange county right? South OC as well I'll bet. (Or maybe Newport Bay) I did a TV station last year in Palm Springs (right off the 10 Freeway) There was a lighting store a couple of miles away that specialized in strange over prices stuff like this. It was unbelievable what they charged for what I would refer to as junk. They tack on a pretty substantial rich person surcharge for this stuff.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall the day those candles arrived at UL for testing!

Nick, yup...Newport Coast, (We did the guard "shacks" at the entries a few years back; ran a little over $1.5 million each). Palm Springs? I'll bet this would be a GREAT fixture for there! An expensive puddle of wax. I went on a call at a Palm Springs auto dealership (Rolls Royce/Bentley, nonetheless) last week. I got out of there early, temp was only 112°. Later in the day it hit 118°. All the Richey Riches were nowhere to be seen...S

Trumpy,
Actually they head to cooler climates for the summer. It is miserably hot and humid in the summer there. You can get allot of good deals on places to stay and rounds of golf there in the summer.

Hey! What's that rectangular or round shaped hole in the drywall for?
Is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
