I'm the same way, at least with home wiring. Car/motorcycle... 12v stuff? No problem, doesn't bother me in the least. But house crap I leave alone. Back East it was easy - my brother's a wiz with that crap, so I'd just call him up & say "Blah Blah Blah I don't want to fry myself.." and he'd do it for me. He'd call me when he needed dirty/nasty crap done 'cuz I don't mind it, and then I could TERRIFY his (PITA) wife that I was going to come in to the house that filthy.

Well my boss has reached a new level.
He just came up here and told me I lied to him..among other things.
Any of you who aren't familar with the story - he found out my house was for sale and iterrogated me about it so I fessed and told him my plans of moving to Iowa, hoping he would understand the particulars of my situation.
He is currently giving my resignation to the entire company at a meeting I am not even invited to.
Fun day. Don't even have a closing date on my house yet.

Changing breakers is actually pretty easy too. But I can definatly respect if your not comfortable with it. It seems like it takes awhile to get to do stuff like that without getting zapped!
And they said I couldnt lose anymore brain cells, Ill show them....

Lisa, Damn your a better person than I could ever be, I wouldnt be able to sit there and take that crap from someone. He would get an earfull from me and maybe even a broken nose...
I feel bad for you though and I hope everything works out for you.

Don't feel bad for me. Just another one of life's lesson. I learn from them well.

I guess I'm rambling... My first day back to work, and I'm waiting on my NW access to get turned back on. Good thing I have access through my phone, or I'd be bored stiff!!

Joe thats really neat that you got taught all that stuff. Very similiar with me too, we were farmers and my parents pinched every penny, so we didnt pay anyone to do anything unless absolutely necessary!
When I build my shop out at my place next year, Im gonna get my dad to help me with the concrete. He used to drive for a redi mix years ago, and says he learned how to do all that stuff. Will help out alot and save alot of money for me too.

Thanks to the teaching of my Grandfather and a few other keys players in my life, here is the shop I built for my truck to sleep in. Talk about PMS...

Thanks very much, I tend to pour my heart and soul into whatever I build, so I usually get good results. Doing it myself saved me about $15K, so if you've got the skill, do it yourself!
