I'm doing a basement finish job for a buddy on the FD. He asked me about starting this job back in October - but, as a fellow contractor, his $ situation is, err, umm, flexible.

When I originally quoted him mats, it was about $14/500' Cu 14AWG, $18/500' Cu 12AWG, and $1.17/10' 1/2" EMT... about $600 in supplies, all told.

Now, with 14AWG Cu @ $19-23/500' nad EMT @ $.28/ft, he's gonna be over 1k in mats alone.

Hey Randy - better go back and buy a bunch of that stuff from OSH! It'll be worth the gas, it the truck can hold enough! [Linked Image]
