I view disasters daily, many are DYI time bombs, so i usually have to end up telling customers what they don't want to hear.
That sure can be one hard call, when you know your talking yourself right out of a job, and you have mouths to feed.
People call our trade because they would like their wiring safe, yet it I am constantly taken back by what some individuals consider safe.
As i (we) are a competitive trade, customers will use every angle to work a deal, this is human nature, no sweat!
But when they try to work a $$$$ against safety factors i know i'm out of a job!
