We've heard repeatedly that there are craftsmen in these countries who work
for what to us here in the 'real world' is not even peanuts.

Are there any recent experiences here to tell of such craftsmen in the
fields of electricity, plumbing, electronics, joinery, paint, fiberglass
fabrication or other marine niceties?

If so, what did you have done, and what was the end cost, if you're
comfortable sharing that experience? Were you happy with the outcome,
regardless of the cost? Had/have you priced comparable work in other
locales to be able to say whether it was a bargain, or of particular
craftsmanship, or both?

Thanks.
