Master Electrician looking for work trade for reduced rent housing (NW/W Twin Cities Metro)
QR Code Link to This Post
Hi everyone! I'm a licensed Minnesota Master Electrician (20+ years of experience) building my own electrical contracting business, and I'm looking to trade skilled work for reduced rent housing. I'd need to be within a reasonable commute of the northwest and west Twin Cities metro, roughly 45 minutes, because that's where my business is based.
What I can offer:
• Licensed, bonded, and insured electrical work: panels, shop and barn wiring, motors and pumps, generators and transfer switches, troubleshooting
• General maintenance and repair. I spent years in industrial facilities maintenance (mostly electrical, plus plenty of mechanical troubleshooting) and I'm handy and good at figuring things out
• A steady, respectful, low-drama tenant
• Two well-behaved dogs (non-negotiable, and they come with me)
How I'd like to set it up:
• A standard written lease at an agreed rent
• A separate written work agreement with set monthly hours, a clear task list, and an hourly rate credited toward rent
• Happy to start with a trial period, but I'm after a long-term situation
What I'm looking for:
• A private space with its own bathroom and kitchen: a cottage, guest house, or mother-in-law apartment
• Quiet, rural, and ideally with some room for the dogs
• An owner who values having a licensed electrician on the property, whether you have regular electrical work or just want the peace of mind of someone skilled nearby
If this sounds like a fit, please email me with a description of your property and what you need done, and I'll happily talk it through.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested.
