 What kind of plumbing does a plumber install in his own home? For Don Frederick Sr. it was a Saniaccess3 macerating system for a new bathroom he was adding to his basement. He trusted the above-floor plumbing system as a cost-effective alternative to drilling through the concrete to install a sewage ejector system. It ended up saving him roughly $1,500 and more than a day’s worth of labor.

Remodelers Advantage
Almost every organization, at one time or another, talks about their workforce as a team. It sounds friendlier, and puts less emphasis on differences in roles and jobs. But not every company works as a team, getting better results and lessening friction. It’s more than a feel-good term, and if your remodeling company isn’t running as smoothly as it should, refreshing yourself on the principles of teamwork can make a big difference. As you continue to face labor shortages in the industry, creating a cohesive team can allow you to do more with less, avoid burnout for you and your employees and make positive changes in your company culture.

Have you ever purchased a new pair of shoes and afterwards noticed that a lot of other people are wearing the exact same ones? Reticular activation is a phenomenon that occurs after you become familiar with something and then start to see it more frequently. Ceiling tile salespeople notice the ceiling the second they walk into an office. Floor covering salespeople quickly notice flooring.

It was drywalling day at the New American Remodel and by 10 a.m., two subcontracted drywallers were onsite and well into what would be a several-day job. Four hours later, they were both gone and working not just on another jobsite, but for another company. Poached.
It’s a not-so-uncommon scenario born from a climate of scarcity. Too much work and too few workers have forced contractors of all creeds and craft to look for labor in places they’re assured to find it, like a jobsite.

“There’s an app for that” is becoming a more common refrain these days. According to the recent Business of Apps “App Stores List 2018” article by Artyom Dogtiev, there are 3.3 million Android apps available through Google Play and 2.2 million iOS apps on the App Store. If you have a smartphone or tablet, it likely came with a handful of apps pre-installed, but which apps have you since added perhaps? Clearly, there are plenty of options to choose from, especially if you consider the idea that more than 1,300 apps are added daily.

Natural disasters are growing in frequency. Where in the 1970s the world was experiencing around 100 disasters a year, now it’s closer to 400; and the U.S. is getting hit more than most: According to the U.N.’s disaster-monitoring system, only China and India experience as many natural disasters as the U.S.
In a way, the news is good for remodelers. Harvard’s recent “Improving America’s Housing 2019” report showed that since 1995, improvement spending as a result of natural disasters has increased 66%.

Michael Stone writes: "When I teach a class or webinar, sometimes I wonder if those listening understand what I'm trying to say. After reading some of the questions that came in during last week's webinar on calculating your markup, I realized I missed the mark. Here are a few of the questions:
- I have no employees, what is my markup?
- What is my minimum markup?
- Does your markup formula work in Canada?
- I am an interior designer, should my markup be 1.50 or do I add a margin for profit?
- I am a roofer, is my markup for a specialty or a remodeling contractor?
Let me say first that all these questions are covered in some depth in the Markup and Profit, Revisited book. However, we went at a fairly good clip in the presentation, so I want to address more on the topic of markup here."
