⚡ Who do you recommend as an Electrician?
🗣️ TAYLOR SAYS I’ve used a few electricians in the South Bay, but I often prefer the independent contractors vs any big company folks. I feel like I can get my needs met in a more custom way. On the other hand - I’ve always wanted to learn how to do it myself!

Reader Recommendation
Chloe B recommends 🍣 SUGARFISH
They’ve got some great tasting menus. Gotta get some sake with it as well! I recommend. You can’t make a reservation and it’s pretty popular so you have to go in and put your name down. But I’ve never waited longer than 30 minutes and I typically just get a drink somewhere on the MB blvd while I wait. It’s definitely my choice of restaurants right now.
