<DIV>I still remember the reference to "the rational economic man" from my intro
to economics class, John Stuart Mill: “an arbitrary definition of man, as
a being who inevitably does that by which he may obtain the greatest amount of
necessaries, conveniences, and luxuries, with the smallest quantity of labour
and physical self-denial with which they can be obtained.” </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Apparently Mr. Mill did not spend much time on the Triumph listserv.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I think I would value my restoration labor at a minimum. I have no
problem valuing my labor at the going rate when I'm using skills where I have
experience and training. When I get started in a couple of years I
expect to be slow and have a lot of rework.<BR><BR>Rich White Central, IL USA

<DIV>If you want to be honest with yourself, valuing your time at $10/hr may
make you feel better about your investment, but restoration labor in this
neck of the woods (northern NJ) is upwards of $100/hr. Recalculate and
weep. All kidding aside, congratulations on your restoration, and I envy
your energy, skill and tenacity. </DIV>
<DIV>Happy Fathers Day. </DIV>
