    Need a place to do some wiring, and maybe help with it

    I have a small farm, with a 3 level barn, but the irony is that I have no place suitable to put my truck inside. I need to add some auxiliary lights, but it's just too cold outside and I am to old and feeble now to climb underneath the truck to run the wires.

    Does anyone have available a garage big enough for an F-250 that I could use for a day, and could they maybe help with doing the job? I live in Stouffville, so somewhere fairly local.
    I don't mind a bit of rent for the day, or to pay for help.

    OK. I had it done by the company mentioned above. Nice, friendly, knowledgeable.
    However, at $75/hr, they charged me 4 1/2 hours to wire up the lights. I had an LED lightbar pointed forwards, and 2 smaller LED lamps pointed backwards. Considering that the fuses, relays and switches were already there, it seems a bit much. I expected maybe 2 hours or so.
    Looking at the bill for installing the snowplow, the plow seller charged me $100 to hoop up the amber flashing light to the upfitter switches, so I figured $200 or so for the LED's. $500 including tax: a bit much.

    By the way: the LED's light up the way like daylight. Fabulous.

    Shop rate sounds reasonable to me. And you should expect the taxes to be what they are. So you are really only suggesting it took longer than you thought it should. If it is a neat wiring job and everything is protected from wet salt, you might have paid what it was worth. Better to have it done right the first time and not have any issues while your out trying to make money removing snow. JMO

    Clean and correct job done takes time. Gord does nice work, hours charged is what I'd have expected to see.
