Of course, if you use a contractor, the contractor pays these wages and you get to pay closer to $100 per hour. Capitalism, you know. It's a wonderful system.
Don't hesitate. Right now, there are carpenters watching TV at home but soon the construction industry will be in swing again and then you'll have to stand in line behind everyone else to get decent talent.

I have to break my silence on that one. You obviously don't have a clue as to what it takes to break even, much less make a profit. And I'm not going to labor over helping you understand. It's people like you that make the economy what it is. Cheap bastards.
That having been said, flatbutt, go buy a modular system made in Mexico. There's no work for a decent carpenter these days (I'm a master carpenter) and there are damn few left.
