I would be hiring less skilled people who follow my rules, but I wouldn't be able to obtain services from some of these really skilled craftsmen who may not be as clean or tidy as I want, but they do absolutely good quality work and in some cases, they do work that no one does anymore.Right now, I am trying to find someone who can do on site metal fabrication on the roof, to redo two catch basins that receive rain runoff from a dutch gutch system. 

Hello everyone, I am looking into doing development work with pre-fabricated homes but more on the higher end with a modern, contemporary look.

and pay yourself because it's the sure fire way to know your deal for the wholesalers.....I charge avg $100 per sq labor only ..... minimum for a roof......you should charge yourself if doing your own work what a customer will pay you because it's true accountability for the deal.if you need extra time, you know what is average by doing it and length of time to say refinishing your hardwoods or lay the shower surround, which takes two days properly......this keeps people lie myself who know a minimum job kitchen is $5k can be more.when I fabricate granite, I buy from wholesalers the charge for fabrication.....just like I charge my personal deals for fabrication.

It's more the case that once white people move into a black neighborhood rents go up and push out lower-income residents, who are disproportionately minority.I think that working with the local communities as @Veronica Woods suggests is the best way try to "bring up" a neighborhood as opposed to destroying the fabric of it. 

I purchased cabinets from IKEA, made my own vanities from prime lumber and fabricated concrete counter tops for the kitchen and both baths.

The retirees love the affordable living and great weather.Job growth continues with excellent companies like the Intel expansion/build out of its fabrication facility, Apple and many CA companies find AZ much more attractive than CA.

It sort of goes against the fabric of who we are.Just my thoughts

Once you are committed to that, we can figure out how to delicately get over the awkwardness factor.

I currently work for SEPTA in Philadelphia as a welder/fabricator and while it's a great job I don't wish to see my life gone before I am able to live it, I'm sure you all know the deal with that.I build motorized drift trikes in my off-time (Google them if you're curious) and they're tons of fun.
