However, also, for only $150, me not having to get into my attic in July, AND they installed an exterior electrical socket into an overhang, I was happy.


That's a steal. I didn't know a good electrician, other than what I learned from working on older houses growing up, and my dad just helped me. We needed one person in the living room to put the can in, and another in the attic to wire them. Since it was my house, I got in the attic. I know a guy now that I call on from time to time. Last time out, he didn't even charge me. Said just to give him gas money, so I gave him a $20. He's done a good bit of work for us during some remodeling we did, and his prices were pretty fair. This reminds me, I need to give him a call. I have a floodlight that needs the fixture replaced.

The wife called and setup the install. I think that she made it out the be a bigger deal on the phone than it turned out to be. Once they got there, he made several comments about how small and easy of a job it was going to be (none were negative, he was just happy to not have to stay in an attic all day).

Eta: for anyone in BR or the surrounding areas, I highly recommend Cajun Electric. We found them on Angies List and they are great people. We ended up having 3 different guys come out to estimate and then later install and all were good people.
