Don't know what your wages are up there but in the NON union state of SC, that job could be done with a $12/hr man and money be made charging $40/hr for around $2000. Wouldn't make a killing but if I bid this job for $3500 with the F-Troop competetion we have here I'd never get it. There are too many of one/two men rodeo operations working from their truck with no workers comp, no office and little overhead who would likely do it for $1500 or so.
Many of you probably won't believe it but in our state, your mom could register with the state and tell them she has done electrical work before and could start her own electrical contracting business! She would be limited to the county in my area and would have a dollar limit per job of I think it is $5000 but she would be legal and could start work not even knowing the difference between Romex and a wire nut!
Can you believe that these legislators in our state government allow such nonsense? And we see their handywork all the time... Such actions by the state is reckless and dangerous. It will probably take a few lawsuits to get anything changed.
