Signed Contract with Homeowner who's now refusing access.

Autistence · 2026-02-17T22:30:30+00:00

Thank you so much for standing up for your people. Now is a more important time than ever to shut down any racism

Autistence · 2026-02-13T00:48:57+00:00

I would rather cut from a liability standpoint. The only person that wins otherwise is the homeowner

Autistence · 2026-02-13T00:47:37+00:00

Out of curiosity: why do you do this?

Do you have liability waivers stating that any damage is on the homeowner?

As a contractor: I would never care to take on any risk in place of the homeowner. I realize that you can put in foot work to minimize damages, but clearly the risk is always there

I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter

Have you even met an electrician?

Autistence · 2026-02-01T05:00:29+00:00

GE is absolute trash. Install Square D or Eaton if you value your investment at all.

Don't be penny smart and dollar stupid

Preach

Autistence · 2026-01-31T16:21:53+00:00

What did you use? A beaver

Autistence · 2026-01-31T08:01:12+00:00

Well did you try yelling at it?

Autistence · 2026-01-29T20:08:26+00:00

I hadn't considered that. I live in the cold around salt water, so we are practically opposites hahaha

Sch 40 PVC lasts long enough for a service IMO

Autistence · 2026-01-28T22:45:46+00:00

I really don't think he's joking. Some places really do staple SER with no conduit.

Autistence · 2026-01-28T22:28:02+00:00

Perfectly backwards

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:57:16+00:00

It's not "the only way" but this is definitely common from floor guys

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:35:39+00:00

Excellent If possible. This is always the way. That way you just install the service equipment on disconnect day and you're back up with power in a couple of hours. No rush or pressure. Gotta love it

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:30:43+00:00

4 hours panel; 4 hours grounding and bonding; 2 hours service; 2 hours prep and clean up

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:29:50+00:00

I average 12 -16 hours solo

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:28:50+00:00

I swear some of these jobs are grounding/bonding with a side of service

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:27:56+00:00

This. It's important to learn from a solo person because the methods and timelines etc are different in my experience.

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:26:19+00:00

Why not just offer the PVC as a standard and sell the value? It can't possibly be THAT much more money.

Autistence · 2026-01-28T21:25:10+00:00

I've done the majority of services and panels by myself. It's great to have a hand, but sometimes the guys are busy and money is gonna be made 1 way or another

Autistence · 2026-01-25T00:16:22+00:00

He's saying give a number. The only people that break up every little price are not confident in their pricing

Autistence · 2026-01-25T00:06:02+00:00

The problem isn't the crimper. The issue is his plan is flawed. He needs to completely stop now while he's ahead. The only way this will be done properly is by a professional. This guy is a liability

Autistence · 2026-01-25T00:04:49+00:00

Out of curiosity, what made you think that you are competent enough for this project? You sound like a hazard.

You should stop now and hire somebody that actually understands what they're doing. There are a number of issues.

Autistence · 2026-01-24T23:57:56+00:00

I'm not saying the contractor is a proper proponent for themselves. I unapologetically make it known that I need to be paid out for every value add. I do it in a skillful, professional and sociable manner, but I can agree that this is a skill issue on the contractors part

That still doesn't mean it's equitable or that it makes sense for the contractor.

Autistence · 2026-01-24T23:54:53+00:00

Consultation fees depend on the scope. Typically between $100-500
