A contractor quoted me $8,000 to tape and mud this room. I laughed in his face and did it myself in two days. Itβs literally just paper and wet clay, guys. Why do tradesmen act like this is 'skilled labor'? I feel like I should start a business and charge half that, Iβd be a millionaire in a week. Am I wrong or is the construction industry a giant rip-off?
