On Monday I was on a flight to Honolulu, and sat next to a man who was some kind of crew chief for a large contractor. He was bemoaning the fact that the Owner Builder category allowed some people to escape hiring licensed contractors when building. He seemed to feel his boss was somehow being cheated by the system, because Owner Builders were not hiring contractors to do ALL the work, as in the case of electrical and plumbing.[:0]
The scary part was that he had been in some power meeting, lobbying the legislature to get rid of the owner builder category.
A real owner builder can cut the cost of a house by over fifty percent; these guys want what you are saving for themselves.
If you believe in self-reliance be prepared to fight this attack on your ability to provide for yourself.
Does anyone know how to find out if this is quietly being slipped through the Capitol sewer system to appear Monday morning as a done deal?
