Project Involement Level? [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Kurt,

I agree you you wholeheartedly.  I try get my customers that are building a
house to pay attention to what they are doing but often the General feels
like he is getting is feet stepped on so I have to back off and bite my
tongue while they install incandescent lights and don't pay attention to
caulking up the plumbing and electrical penetrations.

How many off us are building the whole house?  How many of us would like to?
