Couldn't agree more with you////Why were they paying 18 cents a foot for strand in 1985 verses 09 cents today?????????What the work is twice as easy!!!! (El-torro-poo-poo).  Too many settled for less,  a lot less. $120 a day as a sub/contractor might and that only if you live like a hermit cover the expenses incurred on a daily basis by a sub.  All you guys undercutting and working for these prices are doing nothing but putting yourself in the poorhouse.  I know you dont have a choice!!!! Once again (El-torro-poo-poo).  This crap will never stop until we stop it.  Sorry if I affended or hurt anyones feelings,  but the truth is the truth.
And if anyone is wondering//  I gave up working for contractors 5 years ago.  Went back to home remodeling.  Came back to this only as an employee with the benifits.  Now when I put $58 in the 1 ton or $125 in the T-40 I use a Wright Express card,  And when I need a new snap @ $5 I put on the comp charge account.
Oh yea I make more than 120 a day, a lot more.
