I got a call today from a Dentist in town here who needed extensions hooked up to his old 'shiba 6e.........

He ran the 4 cables and EVEN terminated them on a 66 block....(Home Depot to the rescue)....

I came in and crossconnected them into the system.......

Same thing happend to me last week, Real Estate office calls and said they need 2 phones installed with cable, when I schedule my day
accordingly I arrive on site and the owner tells me he already ran the cable and installed the jacks, and believe me he did it himself, he ran 1 cable but split the pairs to 2 locations, I was there the next day after he called so it wasnt that I was slow to get there, he just wanted to save a buck. I see it more everyday!!

Despite my negetivity in the post
ibew - elecrical license required
I find it nice to be able to "call in" an inspector for unauthorized wiring for those customers that we could care less about. At the same time, some times it is nice not having to crawl and get dirty.

it is just a sign of the economic times. most of the people who do that own there own business and it is usually small. They are just trying to save a few bucks like the rest of us. I can't blame them for that, but it is a shame that the internet and home improvement stores will sell anything to anyone. I don't think most people realize the work involved and the potential losses if done incorrectly. It is a good thing no one get's killed doing the LV stuff.

If you think that is bad (and I do).
How about the customer that calls you and wants to add ten phones to the system and they tell you they bought the phones on the internet.
I see more and more of that everyday...

I do not know about you guys, but Mac work is the most profitable part of my business... other than service contracts..
