not to beat a dead horse but here is the thing,,, have you ever had those days where it was cheaper to stay in bed, just about anyone seriously in business will tell you that they have had them. Sometimes just getting the customer isn't everything, some jobs are better off left to someone else as they can either break your machine or take more time than you bid, which saying $10 a hole is basically a bid or flat rate, this is awesome if your in easy going, but not good when you set the auger on a rock you need to dig out with a digging iron. unless you really know what you are getting into, i would only bill hourly on this type of thing, you could offer an estimate but at the end of the day you need to make money. Many people doing small job work end up losing money as they dont know their true cost of operating their equipment as well as return on investment and their salary. different markets across the US will change the price as well. I'm not the dick you think i am and have been in business for awhile and like to see others succeed. one of the biggest mistakes I see people in a business make are trying to be the cheapest. you don't need to be the cheapest if you are the best. generally when you are the cheapest, you cut a corner somewhere to be the cheapest and that, someday, will catch you.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
