They also need to stash some money so they can keep going when all the cheap bastriches like me are DIYing all the jobs they have to charge more for. If they don't charge more they go out of business because they cannot afford to lose money. If they do charge more, they may still go out of business because more folks can't afford their prices now.</p></blockquote><p></p>
