   I would add that separating materials, site clean up, nail scrounging
   are all great sweat equity activities which can and should be done by
   the membership.

Amen to that! My eight-year-old son receives a penny for every nail,
screw or other odd bit of construction debris he finds in our yard
(our house has just undergone extensive renovation). In the past week
he's earned over $20, and he's a VERY steady worker. (His first day's
take, with the aid of a massive magnet, was pretty impressive...)
