Spend money with your home boys! We have a mini farm in Dunnellon Florida, thirty five years ago we had a local contractor build our house and at the time we said use local contractors later it paid off…I have been practicing “buying home town” for years. It pays off!
We had a electrical problem this month when a short in an out building caused my breaker box in the house to flip and could not be reset. In taking it out we found it fried, it was a one of a kind 150 amp Baker.
It was 35 years old and they don’t make them any more. We looked every where and all the electrical suppliers said you have to have a new electrical panel installed. A local company that did the electric contracting was still in business in the area. We explained the problem to them, it seems one of the two original owners had some new parts in the back of his warehouse. He found the part and gave it to me free! It will keep me going until I can afford a new panel $1500 estimated. Shop at home!
