electure; oh, those units! the only time i've seen them is on a trip to AZ. I thought there were rather neat, but would not do well in N.E. i was really impressed by 108 in the shade out there

BillI will often put 1 coat of spackle on living space walls or ceilings. On a flush panel that needs a larger opening in a utility room, or other non-living area, I'll put up new drywall, but leave the screw heads unspackled. [This message has been edited by Redsy (edited 07-12-2001).]

The per hour rates all sound low. I'm in north central Illinois and the wage and benifit package for a JW is 43.35 without any contractor profit or overhead. Contractor billing rates are in the high $60s to low $70s. Don

Southern West By God Virginia...
Now I am getting jealous...
I remember $32.05 union wages for a Journeyman in Wisconsin, plus benefits...
If I were to get a job as a master here, I could expect no more than $12 per hour (probably more like $8) and absolutely no benefits. So I'm paying myself almost double what I'd be paid from someone else.

Prevailing wage & benefits come to about $33 an hour, which is what I charge. Since I'm a one man shop, all overhead is calculated in the material pricing.

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.

I am in Westchester County NY, suburb of NYC.
1) 200 Amp residentail upgrade. SE Cable(25'), 20-30 existing ckts, surface mt.
$1500 I am doing one of these tomorrow for $1800 because house has knob and tube wiring, 45 feet of SEU, using copper, and square d panel to replace existing, normally I would use a murray or ge contractor kit for less$$.
2) Same as above, except flush mount in drywall with average cutting/patching.
$1800-$1900
3)Ceiling fan with attic access, and fed from switchbox with 14-3.
$300 fan included
4) Same as above with no access above (cutting & drilling required)
$400 just put two industrial types in a laundromat for $600 had to bend EMT
5)Minimum billing rate-first hour, each additional hour.
$45-$55 per hour depends on nature of work residential
$65 per hour commercial
May sound high to you guys, but the cost of doing business is high here. A typical job costs $20-$40 to file, $40-$100 for underwriters inspection, special paralell groove connectors for Con Ed are $14 each, Parking ticket $55 , lunch $8-$12, parking garage to avoid ticket $28. Bribe $50

all overhead is calculated in the material pricing. That brings up another good Q... What materials Markup? Me: 0% to 20%, usually 0% Haven't figured out how to "justify" the extra cost to a customer if they ask why... Especially those that are savvy on what things cost... (75 cents for a 50 cent outlet?!?!) Don't want to encourage them to get the [wrong] materials themselves... been down that road before...
