>It works.  We refer people to local licensed electricians who specialize and
>are experienced in solar.  They contract with them independently.  One,
>Scott Jochim, has followed referrals from there and been flown to Georgia
>and to Alaska several times for jobs people ask him to come back and do.
>They pay the travel.  Just have to get that word of mouth referral going.
>Another, Drake Chamberlain did a lot of traveling for solar installs.  Don
>Wallingford knows all about Drake's experiences.

>     Travis, I think you just might be onto something there.  I don't know
>how many of us small timers could travel for work (someone has to be here to
>mind the shop), but your idea might be a good way to solve the problem of
>too much help or not enough help.  I personally know two young men who have
>worked for me who might be thrilled at the prospect of wandering around
>working RE installations.  And, they're not totally unskilled, either.
>After nine years in business, I'm on my sixth or seventh apprentice
>currently.  All of them have received some good training and instruction,
>but have moved on.  Then, there are two messages on my answering machine now
>from journeymen electricians wanting to work on RE.  There's no way I can
>offer full-time work to either of them, but, if there were a place for them
>to sign up and wait for the call, I'll bet they would.
