@Glisten You sound like an amazing family friend! I've been a wizard of the wires for 27 years (qualified for 23). It can be a good trade depending on what you specialise in. Thankfully I have been blessed with experience in many aspects of electrical, communications, security and appliance repairs / installation, so I've seen the good and the bad of the trade. Trenches and underground work is by far the worst side of electrical.
