You will help make somebody happy.

And you can't put a price on that.

You know, that you have used your abilities, your talent,

and you have made someone else's life better.

That's a heck of a good deal.

Welcome to the Fine Home Building Pro Talk podcast, a regular discussion with building industry

professionals. This is Senior Editor Patrick McComb. Today I'm joined by Rick Harrahill,

a professional electrician.

You can find the previous podcast and check out the show notes at findhomebuilding.com slash podcast.

You can leave feedback and ask questions there too.

Rick, it is a pleasure to have you on the show.

We were introduced because you wrote in response to some advice that we

gave to one of our listeners, and I'm grateful for that, and you agreed to be on the show. Thanks

very much for being here. Thank you. There are many ways to be an electrician. I'm sure you'd agree.

You could probably work in facilities or manufacturing or work in hospitals or work in power plants.

But at least part of your work must be focused on residential work because that's what you wrote in about.

Can you tell me about your work as an electrician, please?

The company I'm working for now, we do quite a bit of different variety.

During the wintertime, especially with the elements the way they are,

we try to focus on remodeling, not too much brand new construction for residential but uh no quite a bit of variety um

today was more commercial than anything but tomorrow may be working in an old house it's just

whatever needs to be done do you know like a day ahead of time or more about what you're going to be doing in a given day?
