Yeah one of my better landlords was a sparky that worked hard af. This is Aus though so might be different. Any time we reported shit with the house he was out the immediately when he didn’t have a job to fix it personally and you could tell he was hot shit at his work too because he had his own business.

Is a sparky an electrician in Australia?

When I worked in construction (Midwest US) we called 'em sparkies too

I was gonna say I hear it heaps in Aus but I’m pretty sure Americans use it too.
