Okay as some know I am an electrical contractor, but I haven't used my license in 10 years. In 2006 the price of material started sky rocketing, my price quotes were only good for the day given. This to say the least makes it very hard to bid on a job 6 weeks to 6 months out, so at the urging of a friend I went to work in the Union had a great 4 years, since then I have been at home with my aging mother, we live 75 miles from Alb. so going to work on a daily bases would be expensive and time consuming, I know I have done it. Optimal would be to get a place in town then come home on the weekends, I have done this also when she was younger and other members of the family lived closer, but now everybody has moved away and are living their own lives. She turns 90 in October and gets around well, she still has her driver's license, so she could get into town, and back, but somebody would have to drive her to Alb. for Doctor appointments, and she would be out here on by herself all the time, not that I am an optimal companion, I at least am here. Sometimes I think my health is worse than hers, both knees do the snap crackle pop when I stand up if I had to climb a ladder or stand for any length of time it would be painful to say the least, I'm being treated for high blood pressure, excessive red blood cells, and possible diabetes.
So here is the deal there is someone looking for a qualifying party for their electrical company but to do this would mean I would have to loose my current company and if for some reason this venture fails I would have to go through the process all over again. My real problem is I have no idea how to go about in negotiations to keep myself and reputation from getting hurt, or how much to charge for such use, anybody have any profound intelligence to share, any non profound, good jokes, bad jokes?
So why am I asking a bunch of imaginary people on line you ask, because of the diversity of knowledge, and it was either here or Pirate and I don't have tit picture to share to get and answer , so don't ask!
