Yesterday an electrician came out and fixed the light on the back porch and put up the new smoke detectors. The light was a dusk-to-dawn type fixture and the photocell had gone bad. No one knew it was supposed to tell daylight from dark, and I had no idea why it wouldn't turn on. But Mr. Myers and his son knew right away. Then they put up the smoke detectors, and they were gone inside of 20 minutes. He only charged me for a service call - $80.00, which I thought was fantastic! If anybody in the Bessemer/Birmingham AL area needs a good, honest electrician, Myers Electric is the place to call.

On Tuesday I called and made an appointment for Friday between 10A - 2P for someone to come to my home to give a quote for a large rewiring job. On Friday I waited and waited... at noon I called just to be sure they were still coming and Vicky said yes, they would call before coming and would be there by 2P. So I waited and waited... at 2P ... still no phone call... so I called again and was told they were running late and it would be another hour or more. I said to forget it. They could have at least called me to let me know... and Vicky could have cared less that I missed a half days work waiting for them.
