Domestic work, is as has been said an art, it's not just the electrical side, you have to deal with customers on a daily basis, the problem solving may not be as dramatic as say Commercial or Industrial work, but there are problems regardless, how to route cable runs, how to avoid damaging decorations, how to plan the work especially when doing lived in rewires, without panicking at the end of the days work, trying to leave the customer, safe and sound until you come back to resume work the next day.I think I speak for a lot of boil in the bags here when I say that yes it is considered the lower end of electrical work with regards to skill set and knowledge but it doesn’t mean we don’t want to do it safely and properly,thanks vortigern well put!
I have no recent knowledge as I am retired, but from seeing, and hearing some of the horror stories, regarding "boil in the bags", it saddens me, there are of course some very good DIs, but allied to that there are some real Cowboys, charging people good money for sub standard work, rant over sorry if it's old hat.
