I guess I'm required to chime in on this thread having been an electrician for ever (23 years) and counting. I don't complain though, the trades pay for a nice house in the Santa Cruz mountains, plus all my toy's.
In my spare time I've been remodeling which has put me in touch with almost every trade. I haven't had to do any roofing yet, but today I was mixing and pouring concrete for my new fireplace hearth. Next week I'll be cutting marbel, and re-facing the fireplace. Then the Pergo floors are going in 900sqft.
I've got to pick up the pace a little since this is my listening room we're talking about. I'm without my main system until I get it all done :^(
