I have a 1922, 1350 sq ft Craftsman/Bungalow home with a breaker box that
needs updating /
replacing. All knob and tube to be removed/ replaced and all new GFR's in
all rooms approx 20. The estimate came in at $7300. Does this seem
reasonable. Said job to take approx 6-7 days. Any feedback greatly
appreciated.


I once read a story about a single woman living in an apartment in New York.
She made friends with a single guy who lived in the building. Every so
often, she would have a problem, invite him up to solve it, and, in return,
prepare dinner. The mental conversations went like this:

She: "He can put up a new towel rack that won't fall down - all I have to do
is throw a couple more potatoes in the pot. He's a miracle worker!"

He: "For the right kind of fifty-cent bolt, I get a homemade rack-of-lamb
dinner. She's a miracle worker!"

Then they had sex.
