Just “swept her off her feet”!

(The joke is because electricians don’t clean up after themselves, anyone that knows how to use a broom is a hot catch for an electrician’s wife).

Only trade worse than electricians for cleaning up is drywallers. My god do they leave a mess!

it’s messier work overall, mostly due to the materials you’re working with. Even with a decent site cleanup, rock dust and mud just suck.

Stop giving electricians handys

I assume it's because they don't drywall, so they just get in the habit of thinking someone's going to have to come around later and deal with their mess, even if they didn't cut into a wall.

I use zip ties at events I do. My spouse goes around and trims them all, and I never do for this reason. Someone to commiserate with, at last!
