This is a true story.

My cousin is licensed electrician who does mostly residential work. He is
coming over to connect 4 home runs into the panel. I've got all the
arc-fault breakers. The home runs are ready for him right near the panel.
He refuses to charge me for the job, nor will he tell me how much he would
get for it at a non-relatives house I'd like to write him a check anyways.
Hey, I'll give it to his wife. She'll take it.

Any ideas how much a job like this would cost? Thanks.


You're new to this family thing, aren't you?

If he says no, have the decency to respect his wishes. Don't treat him like a
whore to be paid off and forgotten. Understand you owe him one and leave it at
that.

Are you qualified to do anything professionaly? When you get a chance, return
the favor with what you do for a living.
