I was just relating to Charlie's furniture biz rate of $65/ hr to bill out what they built even though the craftsmen were paid likely a 1/3rd. I don't Charlie bought a second home on the Amalfi coast with the profits. Did you Charlie?
We have a few out of the truck boat workers around here. "Varnish Gypsy's" is one term I've heard. All I know is I can't get anyone around here, even unskilled for 25 an hour these days. Painters working out of their own trucks are 30.
