Open Question: Is this a fair price for installation of bifold doors and soffits?

I have been a skilled carpenter for a few years now and I am starting to do my own work. I am fairly new to putting a price on my work and I need help to not get ripped off while still giving a competitive price. I have 7 bi-fold doors to install along with the soffits above them. In total it is 45 lineal feet of soffit to build and drywall. Then I am installing door casing around all the doors totaling 160 feet of casing. The price I came to for labor only is $1360.00. I came to this price by pricing each piece of the job (framing, drywall, door install, trim) and putting all the prices together. Is this a good price for this job? Is it high? Is it low? I am in NorthEast Ohio and I know different locations have different markets but I just want other peoples feedback before I submit this estimate.

I live in Plano TX area. We are thinking to fix up our house to sell it. Our house is a small start-up home. We spent most of our budget on remodeling the kitchen. Now we need to replace the carpet with laminate floor through out the whole house. Do you know anyone that does flooring relatively cheaply? Thanks.

Open Question: Anyone Familiar With Mid-Century Modern Style Homes .....?

This is William Krisel http://media.dwell.com/images/478*718/william-krisel-archive-dwell-on-design.jpg - http://www.preservationnation.org/assets/photos-images/preservation-magazine/2009/may-june/william-krisel_mj09.jpg (He built more than 30,000 Mid-Century Modern style homes in his career!) http://www.dougnewby.com/dmh/midcentury/midcentury-collage.jpg Please tell me what you think of these types of homes. I'm interested in renting/buying and want to know what others think. http://www.marinmodern.com/images/Mill%20Valley%20Modern2.png I drive for Fedex Express and was sent to pick up a package on a street called Pueblo Way here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The street is just off Eastern Ave and the moment I turned onto the street I was shocked. The entire street is lined with these types of homes. None of them looked anywhere near each other in design and the majority of them were beautiful while the rest were nice. Not one of them were ugly in anyway. http://www.psmodernhouse.com/website/agent_pictures/2327/mid-century2.jpg The man I picked the package up from was remodeling his home (these homes were built in 1963 and still look gorgeous!) from top to bottom and was turning it into something which would basically be efficient enough to keep your energy bill around zero in cost. I don't understand that part but it seems that your home is so well designed you won't pay a bill if it's done right as far as the power consumed. Huh ... ??? ... sign me up! (smiling) Anyway have you looked at or do you live in a Mid-Century Modern type home? http://www.essential-architecture.com/IMAGES2/Mid%20century%20modern2_thumb.jpg Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer! Just give me time to get back and read the answers. http://www.dallasmidcenturymodernhomes.com/images/midcentury-collage.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/2422535853_097bdb8977.jpg http://www.ratioblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mid-century-modern-home-near-indianpolis.jpg
