Mike's van...
He fits more stuff
in there than you'd
find at a decent-
sized hardware store

The tangled mess
of wires that
we left for Mike
to sort out...
sorry Mike
electrical-38
At least they
were all labeled...
I know, now it's
a tangled mess
of labeled wires...

Mike drilling thru
the foundation.
Hmm, I'd be a
little concerned
if I didn't think
he knew what
he was doing.

We knew Mike for
about 2 years
before I realized
that he had a last
name and wasn't
simply born as
Mike the Electrician
 
electrical-41
And here's what
Mike did with
that tangled
mess of wires
electrical-40
Looks much better
now, wouldn't you
say?  Now if I could
just get the power
company out there
 
electrical-42
Mike installed the
service panel for
the Power Company
to hook right in to.

Mike and his son,
Sam, smile over
a job well done!

Brian tests out his
lights and plugs...
and NO, those are
not the finished
light fixtures.

 

Thanks,
Dad

Thanks,

"sponge on stick"
invention...hey,
it may be "low
tech," but it
worked great

Ken had a little
issue with a family
of wasps who
nested in my porch
or, they had an
issue with Ken
is probably a
more accurate
statement.
staining-23
By the end of the
day, Ken told me
that he and the
bees had come
to an understanding

I think the under-
standing was that
they would do what
they want, and Ken
would run and hide
