Are all builders rich? We're not. My husband has been building in this area for 22 years! He has always worked by the hour. He started making $7.50 an hour and now he is up to $25.00 an hour.
He really saves the customer's money cause he does all the work by himself. He can build all the cabinets in the house for under $8000, that is labor and all materials. Get a quote from a cabinet shop, they will charge you about $40,000. (I am talking kitchen and 3 baths)
He does everything else too, hardwood floor, paint, trim, plumb, elec. tile, etc.
I just found out that a house he finished in 2000 is going on the market for 1.3 million. I looked to see how much he made in labor on the house (he was there 18 months) He made $28,000, so see, not all builders are rich!
Rich builders??

I wouldn't say we're "rich" because we still have our financial ups and downs, but we are definitely blessed because I can stay home with my children.
