Busy.
Bought and renovated TWO houses.
Built the shed of DEATH at my house - try that on a HILL on Long Island's NORTH SHORE.
Bought a bike and have been TRYING to ride as much as possible.
Adopted a blind puppy - trying to train it.
Some stuff at work, now I actually have to be there sometimes... fkn pricks...

So... "Contractor talk" just had to take a back seat.

price is king in many mrkts it's tuff to compete when theres so many others out there in a race 2 the bttm being able 2 take 20 or 30 bcks off each job can get attractive 2 many and its not just pnls evrythng gets slashed devices lights brkrs conduit yea it wld b nice to have the biggest and best of evrythng but that's not how it works when some1 else is footing the bill

thanks I kind of figured it was about the $ But I've seen some places lately that have 4 or 5 sub pnls and I just shake my head they must have cost more in the long run maybe not at the time of install. mabe we need a code change.
