The fellow down the street who used to work for a electrician and now
makes some side cash money no overhead doing jobs like these $$ he
knows how and can be safe mo overhead or income tax


IMHO, I got advice about trades people, from people who got burned by
part-time electricians/plumbers/tax advisors/etc:

1. If they are so good at it, whey don't they do it full time?

2. If they don't behave like professional business people, (license,
insurance, documentation) how 'professional' is the work.

Just thinking out loud....

Think harder! A lot of these people are retired
professionals just looking to pick up some cash
from time to time, some even just want to help
neighbors and older people. Others may have a
regular job but do their old profession to pick up
a little cash from time to time.

Then there are a few that don't know what they are
doing.

Having a license is no indication that the work
will be good, and having no license is no
indication that the work will be lousy.


I, as a consumer, would not hire someone that would circumvent local
rules, by not having a license in an area requiring a license.

That is my personal option, and having to had 'clean-up' work done by
unlicensed electricians, I feel my option is strongly fact based.

But then I have an adversion to house fire.
