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???

Sustainable, or problematic ? dforest :"Thriving for who? I know of no one that thinks it is thriving."

(From the news source):”..Adding to concerns, the Federal Reserve is predicted to cut interest rates six times in 2024,
recognizing clear signs of an economic slowdown according to ING Economics.
The alarming dip in US job openings to a two-year low, reminiscent of March 2021 levels, contributes to the narrative of a faltering economy. “

”As the stock buyback blackout window commences on December 11th, indicating a pause in a significant source of market support,
the strain on small businesses becomes pronounced.
With short-term loan rates for small businesses reaching a staggering 10%, the current economic trajectory appears increasingly unsustainable,
prompting a closer examination of the challenges ahead. “

Here are some interesting statistics:

If you focus on the chart—and not the headline or the text—you will see the numbers the Fed is looking at...

When I look at those numbers I don’t see the Fed doing anything at all in 2024.

Debt levels—compared to other historical periods—are relatively stable—which means “do nothing” is the fallback strategy.

I live in TN. Earlier this year I had a breaker box in my garage replaced. We bought the house a year before.
The box was old and arcing.

I hired a local contractor who put in a new box, two circuits at 20 amps each.

He replaced all with some new wiring in the garage that needed replacing. It took him 2 hours and he charged me $200. Nice clean job too.
I was amazed at the price. Probably beer money.   =;^)

Pfffft... Run the wire yourself. Bury as required and place enough slack wire near each hook up location. Should be no more than $500 to put up the sub and connect the wire. Easy. It’s what I did for my shed.

Not perceived boom . . . . promulgated boom.

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?

It’s only about a 30 min drive to downtown from my house.
