Why are you slow...........
We are slow but not because there is no work, but because we are currently wiring 4 multi-million dollar homes where the owners, decorators, & architects cant get anything decided. The work is there but nobody is in a hurry!
Yesterday we were told that all the pipework we just got done had to be changed to all whips for recepts in base.Thats a big change! The whole print got changed after one walk through of the above mentioned people.
This slows down everybody, all trades put on hold, cant get paid for fishing! But you can fish for food!

Our residential side took on a new home job for a local banker. It was only about 2500-3000ft. It took nearly 3 years because of the homeowners indecision. I myself had to move the 5 gang bathroom switchbox and floor heat T-stat box after rough-in because the owners wife bought a towel bar that wouldn't fit between the switches and the shower.
