Two drink minimum, probably?

What is much? Some charge $100 to walk through the door. Ask first what the minimum is.

If the electrician is an independent service tech he/she/it may give you a break for something simple. You can always ask for more stuff to be checked out if it can be done during the time of a minimum charge. An electrician from a large service organization can't cut a deal because of company policy. An experienced residential handyman should be a lot less expensive to call out for a simple breaker swap.

All the tradesman I know make a first visit to my house to assess the work and know what to come back with.

I don't get charged for that.

So if he charges $100 for 2 trips to my house, and maybe a trip for parts, I'm not complaining.

I haven't met many rich repairmen either.

BUT, I do 99% of small jobs myself.

Flashlight!

Bub is the kind of fellow who can change out a breaker. I kind of think he would kindly offer, perhaps being kind enough to trade for service in kind, such as baking one kind or other of cookies, in the repaired oven, which would bring the kindness to the home. Well, kind of.

I used to stand under the freeway overpass with a sign reading: "Will Work For Sex".

I had to get one of those "Back at (clock-face) o'clock" signs to attach to the placard while I was out on a job.

My oven goes out sometimes, with the fridge next door. They're a mixed couple. He's hot. She's cold.

When it's out, do no burners work at all. Does it have an electronic display? Does that work? Does the clock work. The oven light?
