Remember your machine is slowi
ly wearing out while using it so you need to charge enough to replace the machine in the future. That's one of many thing is learned from reading a book about the business of pipe laying. I don't do the same work as the book was about but it had alot of good stuff about bidding/billing that was helpful.
When doing work for homeowners, I and they liked jobs bidded complete not hour. No one cares what you charge per/hr just what it the total cost will be to get the finished.
So glad I don't mess with homeowners anymore!
