Timinmg (Timing?) these jobs
So hard to do, you get involved and carry on until it is safe to leave it.
I try to measure things by half days. And fail dismally.
Pricing is a killer. By the hour? by the day? by the unit?
Tips.
Never try to compete with anybody else.
If you like it the price goes up.
Allow a 20% haggle factor.
If the customer looks like they can afford it they can.
If the customer bites your arm off at the price you have got it wrong.
If it sells at price 'x' it never goes down. Maybe add on 10% next time.

Excellent work shirazman.... always like to see this kind of work, from Graham and Chunko and would like to venture into it myself, but I think cutting all those feather leafs with snips would destroy me, and sadly not in the position to go lashing out on compressor and plasma, even though I know they would save and earn me money in the long run, but good to see your products anyway....
