1 Krone is $0.14 USD. Holy shit. $14k for a roof? I just got mine done for $6k by a pro here in the US - I thought about doing it myself but realized that I'm a father now, have zero safety equipment or roof replacing skills (lack of experience never usually stops me) and knees that now randomly dislocate for no reason, and I'd probably die. That said, it would still have cost me more than $1.5k in materials. How can folks afford such prices? How can the market sustain such prices?
Why assume krones when their other prices were pounds?
I didn't know what the symbol for Krone is and incorrectly assumed they use the pound symbol (they don't - Kr is the symbol). 100k pounds for a roof is absolutely insane, and now I absolutely need more explanation as to why.
It was all converted to pound for ease.
And why the prices fore a professional is so damn high in Denmark is becous the labor force is very well paid in these proffesions, so price is: 50-60% salary, 10-30% taxes, the rest is material.
And the symbol is "DKK" i don't think there is symbol like $.
