^So that begs the question; did Mr Johnson specify the finish to save a buck? :p

For regulations and taxes, good luck with that. Keep building I guess.

Aaron, you're exactly right. I am a contractor and my pricing is 10% higher over last year, due to there being more work on the street than manpower to do it. This summer, I saw many projects get shelved due to them being over-budget. Times are good for contractors and tradesmen, that's for sure.
