sparky66wv - I've watched these posts for a while now....glad to hear you're getting better money. From your posts I've always felt you weren't getting paid enough given your knowledge and values....I've never done a new house from scratch...most my residential work along those lines is a 200A service upgrade with a 100+ amp sub when folks are doing a kitchen remodel....I'm certainly not the high bidder when I charge $6500 for a simple kitchen job to the $18,500 range for a kitchen with some bells and whistles.
