Wired by the man who owns the van.

Robert Robertson runs Handyman Electric and does the work himself, from a flickering light to a new panel. Not a franchise, and not a crew you've never met.

Glass pendants, a Spokane dining room. One of his jobs.

Before the pendants

Before it was a room, it was a ceiling.

The finished photo at the top of this page started like this: small, tidy openings in a straight line, wire run to one box, and the ceiling left ready to patch. He calls himself "a perfectionist." This is what that looks like halfway through.
