Electric fire

I was in the kitchen (outside) washing clothes when the washer quit.  I also noticed the hot water pot was dead.  I went into the house and smelled smoke.  I inspected the electric service panel and found a burnt wire.  I asked some women camped out front of my house if they knew a guy to fix the electric.  A guy showed up within 10 minutes.  He lives in the village.  He fixed the burnt wire and secured some loose connections in the service panel.  He also fixed 3 defective outlets for me.  It took him about an hour.  He asked for 200b (baht) for the work.  That is a little less than $6.  I know I really should have only paid him about $3 but it is Sunday morning.  So I gave him the 200b.  Now I can wash clothes again.
