I stopped giving it away on those monsters. I figure my real costs and labor
at $75/hr plus. If the builder wants it cheaper, he can get out the yellow
pages. Nobody is building their million dollar house on my back, not
anymore. I found a select few builders who are willing to pay. No short
cuts. I take my time and make the wiring neat. I use drive rings. I drill my
own goddamned holes, and use the right wire for each application, not 22/4
for everything. Lots of extra wiring for future possibles. No banjo strings
in the attic. No ragged holes in their door jambs.
