GJ,
It's not so much the area, there are several successful EC's here... and growing.

My problem is capital...

I'm going to illustrate my problem in a thread in the business section and see if anyone can pinpoint the problem to anything besides "lack of working capital and lack of good business sense"...

I will use this week's invoices as examples.

Let's get to the bottom of this...

Virgil, I sometimes think its better to work for somebody else, I make a good living working for an electrical contractor, let somebody else deal with all the stress of trying to run a business.

Hi,
There was a serial killer in washingtons state or someplace that was an electrician. They profiled him as an electrician because he used TY WRAPS to tie up his victims.

I guess he was a theif too, apparently stealing from the job!

I have met some CRAZY electrician wanna be's but none of the perverts are REAL electricians...IT TAKES BRAINS TO BE A REAL ELECTRICIAN!

There was a high profile murder case on Long Island a while back where the killer was an electrician, as well.

Apparently, he killed one of his rich customers so he could marry his wife or something....

Trumpy,
I saw a PBS special about the wiring of Manhatten's underground...I think Edison was the foreman (LOL)...people didn't quite understand that something they couldn't see, feel, or smell could kill them. After a few "unexplained" (due to electrocution) deaths, people started saying "There's a devil in the wire!"...I think ol' Charlie Daniels wasn't even a thought back then

Here I was thinking the urge to get in a tower with a rifle was from that stint in the Marines.

What's to bet that those "crazy 'lectrishunz" were stripping the wires with their teeth?

And the guy on Long Island was Danny Pelosi. He was convicted of killing Ted Ammon, the lady's husband.
