That is without a doubt the most derogatory thing I have ever read! Do you think anyone could just go out and join a framing crew and be could at it? A true carpenter is a skilled artisian with generally years of experience. That is construction, not some homeowner who put a book shelf together or made a small sheetrock patch.

Different places will have price differences. Some quite significant. There are stores that will also do price-beating just for business. Watch the ads and work the stores for your benefit. Jobsite scraps are also a good thing. Ask before you grab, you can get repair stuff like drywall scraps and wood from them. I did a complete kitchen remodel for under $300. I shopped insulation, tile and countertop and used leftover drywall and plywood. Another point is ALWAYS ALWAYS shop out for your supplies. Different places will have price differences.
