I hear there is really good money in rebuilding tiki bars.

Certainly good money in not paying other people to do all sorts of
things. I am not a one trick pony.


I'm not, either, but I do know when to call in an expert. We recently
had a gas fireplace installed in our master bedroom. I contracted with a
master plumber, a union member, with a license, to handle extending the
gas line and handling the hookups, and we contracted with a fireplace
company to handle the carpentry. The job was inspected by the county. I
suppose I could have saved some bucks by contracting with a tiki bar
builder, but... then I'd be worried about the damned thing exploding
because he would have taken a dangerous shortcut to save $10.00.


You got a union plumber out there to hook up a gas line for $10.


Oh, this wasn't a tiki bar installation...there was quite a bit involved.


.... and all of that for $10 It is what you said.

BTW the "tiki bar" was more complicated than you assume too. It
involved 2.5 yards of concrete, lots of steel, pilings, walls, a roof,
220 sq/ft of Ipe deck, flagstone, electrical along with actually
building the bar, cutting and polishing a granite top.

Your fireplace was about as complicated as installing my pool heater
and I did pay to have that gas hooked up but it was more than $10, a
lot more.
