Just going over some proposals from a recently completing project ......
Hang six interior doors
Install baseboard in a 1,000 sf addition
Install door knobs and locks
Install door trim
NO PAINT OR TOUCH UP
$1,524 LABOR ONLY
I did the work myself. First doors I ever hung. A couple of burps, but
the doors work fine. Locks I know. Bought a second hand DeWalt compound
miter saw for $50. Bought a used Porter Cable nailer, $40.
Total cost, less than $250. Whoops, forgot the paint, which is another
$25. And I own the saw and nailer, which are slick. I can use them for
lots of other projects.
Why do some people think they're worth so much?
I can understand hvac and electric and plumbing and some of the specialty
trades. What's so hard about doors and trim?

take?
