Barns, riding stables and greenhouses
Schmidt Electric says on its own website that barns, riding stables and greenhouses have become a large part of its customer base. These jobs take more care than a house does, because the electrical code treats farm buildings as their own category.
Dale's shop also hooks up the machinery and equipment that restaurants, print shops and garages run on.
