Lord of the Farzi Electrical Contractors

December 17th, 2003

I learned three things yesterday.

1. Never try to install a smoke detector yourself.

2. Electrical sparks hurt bad.

3. People who don’t speak fluent English should not be doing any type of electrical work inside your house.

Really, it was a strange situation. On the heels of having work done I figured I’d be one of those Home Depot type of guys and go get some new smoke detectors and install ‘em. First one worked like a charm, yet the second one had all these stray wires coming out of the ceiling. After a few tries, I called the first electricians I could find; nearby. Little did I know, although the person who answered the phone could speak English — the people who showed up couldn’t.
