Around in the NY area, you have lots of guys who dont even
call you back. They only want big jobs, the small **** adds
up but their too thick to realize that.

As for NYC plumbers getting 90/Hr. Wouldnt surpise me,
the union guys rip off the contractors left and right.
Its ok though, after union dues etc, its significatly lower.

Its a nasty cycle... Plumbers charge the contractors, contractors
charge the owners, owners pass off their expensive home costs back
to whatever the hell they do.
