Need some opinions

[FreshSpark]

I've recently completed a domestic electricians course over the past 6 weeks and have C&G 2393,2382 & 2392. My knowledge of circuit design is good (Ib,In,It , volt drop etc). I've pretty good construction skills also.

Having completed a basic rewire of my small 2 bed home (tested (loop continuity on the rings and r1-r2 on the radials, and insulation tests on the lot) I feel I could do this for someone else, and charge for it.

Obviously there are some gaping holes in my experience but would advertising as a domestic electrician be biting off more than I can chew?

Has anyone here followed this (or a similar) path? Any opinions?

It was 70/30 in YOUR favour! I was looking to base my quotations from Spons, but I was thinking along the lines of saying to the customer something like "I work with another chap and would like them to take a look also..." I'd then ring you and ask you to take a look.

What would most people here think of that kind of arrangement?

Now that's a bit more like it. Are you going to put the kettle on and go for the bacon sarnies too?

Bacon butties, you can measure a man by which colour sauce he uses!

I used to like red but as I have aged I am always desperate to get in the brown, my journeyman has mayo - what does that make him

Now there's a challenge...I'm calling brown because tomato sauce is for kids and McDonald's idiots.

I guess that means we cant be friends after all

However a sliced, fried tomato is perfectly acceptable on a bacon sarnie.

Personally I would think that would make you look a bit inexperienced. I know if I was having someone round to quote for a job and they came off with that.

The only way I can see it working is having the spark go with you from day 1.
