I probably don't want to shop around or compare prices. It's too late anyway, the deal is done.


I'm glad to see a fellow brother get the work. I've been a member of the IBEW since 1996 Local #369. Jouneyman/ Master licienced since 2000.The prices aren't bad considering he will probably have to get it all together for you, so that may add a little to the cost(fuel mainly). I have a retired mechanic who I do the same thing with, just trading labor no money, so it works out well for me, like it does for you. Good luck with your shop and I would love to see some pics of when completed. Randy
