6. (b) �ontinued- Mr. Johnson: In this case it doesn't have anything to do with it but I am just saying that when you have both doors, you realize that on the open market you might be able to buy them a lot cheaper, but in our program we have to pay these men $8.00 per hour and that is taken into consideration too. Dan aesar: An aluminum storm door wholesale would run $30.00 and that come with the frame - how long does it take to install one? I myself inst lled one in about half an hour. Mr. rownell: I don't think you caught what he was telling you - we have to p y a minimum wage which runs approximately $8.00 per hour, which is a gr at deal more than you are paying in the open market. Mr. obinson: Even so, like what Dan is saying Wayne, if he installed one himself in half an hour and we realize we are talking about the possi- bility of the structure itself being in worse condition than what Dan's particular residence is in, he is saying that a $125.00 fee is excessive. I would say its a little bit excessive Dan but I don't think its way out unreasonable. Mr. Caesar: Does it take ten hours to install that door? Mr. Robinson: He's got to make his markup on the product, then he has to take care of his overhead and insurance and all the other things the law requires him to take care of - he has to make a margin of profit and the cost of material, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say it took him a couple hours to hang it, it (the price) is not excessive. Mr. Wiggins: You know, you are comparing doors without seeing either one of them - you don't know that they can buy this door for $30.00. Mr. Robinson: There are too many unknown factors Dan to give you a bonified flat answer... every condition would be different. Mr. Wiggins: They are not losing any money on this.. Mr. Robinson: Amen, they are not losing money I agree, but I wouldn't say its way out there to an extreme either.
