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.


A large box of candy, or goodies like pie, cake, etc. would make me want to
come over and do more work!

But basically accept his kindness and say thank you! People who are giving
types like to give and do things for other people. The kindness they show
other people comes back in many different forms. Money is not necessary!

(This concept is impossible for the younger "me generation" people to
understand!)
