I wired my solarium with 2 plug ins, and an overhead light. I used parallel circuits and so far nothing has blown up🤣. Had the county inspector look at it.
No they are definitely not as valuable as they think they are. Problem is many people do think they are invaluable or I’m guessing they wouldn’t ask such Highway robbery prices.

I don’t guess your guy ever goes around Louisville to do any work???

Jus' cuz' they so say don't make it so.
I’m wondering if it’s isn’t the proximity of Loserville..I mean Louisville driving up the prices?

Wish the article explained the drop in oil prices.
