A client used to have power in their garage but the driveway shifted and we believe it broke the wire that ran under it.

They wanted a trench dug out to run a 220v line , in conduit , from the house to the garage.

I had to locate a double 30 amp pushmatic style breaker as they stopped making them in 1980. Which I did manage to find.

The client also wanted a small breaker box in the garage with 2 110v 30 amp pull style breakers.

After completing the install of the breaker box they had me install a plug on the wall to power a large chest freezer from one of the breakers.

The other breaker got connected to the old light fixtures that were in the garage from before. We also wired in a light switch on the wall for those lights.

Everything turned out perfect and works great.

I have a very happy client that gave me a big hug and a handshake for a job well done.

Have a wonderful morning everyone.

I didn’t get any pics of this job and I should have. Let me give you a description instead.

A client called me to take a look at their breaker box. Apparently, whenever they run the clothes dryer, half of the houses power goes out. Sometimes half of the houses power goes out when they run the washing machine. Also the first floor bathroom had no power for a long time.

I was told that they had a few other people out to work on it to try to figure it out. They were told that the other people had 30 plus years of experience. What I noticed was that some major components were rigged up to “work” for the time being but in a very dangerous way.

Upon inspection it was very apparent to me what the issues were.

I made the necessary corrections to the breaker box. I think just in time. If much more time had gone by it could have potentially caught fire. Also got full power back to the bathroom.

I ran a test before I left just to be sure. I ran the clothes dryer and the washing machine through a full cycle at the same time. No power outage at all.

Another very happy customer and I look forward to doing future projects for them.

I shook everyone’s hands before leaving and we were all smiling.

Have a great day everyone.

Had a client that had a bunch of large tree branches that had fallen during that big ice storm.

They said that they had called many tree companies and that no one ever got back with them about it.

This picture doesn’t really show how much had actually fallen. Many of the branches were very large.

I went out and got it all cleaned up.

My customer is very happy. I really enjoy helping people.

Have a great evening everyone.

A client wanted a standard light fixture changed out for a ceiling fan today.

They had a brand new ceiling fan with lights in the box waiting for me to install.

It took a couple of hours to get everything together but the outcome was worth it.

I’ve got another extremely happy customer.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

A client is extending their garage forward by 10’ and so they needed this tree to be removed.

It was somewhat close to the garage and spanned out over the top of the garage.

Some branches reached out over the neighbors driveway and were close to their house.

I am not a tree climber but will rent a lift if needed. I did not need one for this tree.

Got it all cut down and the client is happy to be able to move forward to their next project.

Have a wonderful evening everyone.
