A humorous call today...

[drbond24]

I was kind of the same as Mule, I would tell customers that I could get one of my buddies to do it and many would simply say that they would wait.

It made me feel good that they thought that highly of me, but like mule I had no idea why they did.

I haven't had my tools on for at least 10 years now and I had an old customer call me the other night.

I do it too and it is a comfort level thing.

I've never hired an electrician, but I did call a chimney sweep last year. He did a good job and charged a reasonable rate. I'll call the same guy next time and wait until he can do it because he has already done it well once. He's a safe bet; everybody else is a gamble. I'm sure the same principal would apply to electricians if I ever hired one.

That is true and I am the same way with people. I have never trusted mechanics, but a while back I had a repair that I didn't have time to shop around for and took it to someone I have never been to before. He took such good care of me and was so friendly, I go back to him for everything now and send my friends over there.

If you do need an electrician, you could always call Mule, but you'll have to wait.:grin:
