Not So Pro 3

[41FanForLife]

Yes.
Say I have an Equinox oil burner under warranty. GM time is 13.0 hours. No matter how long it takes me, I get paid 13.
Now let's say a couple rusty bolts twist off in the head or something. I will use a separate clock time for "other labor hours" to fix that part.
If it's customer pay, sometimes we have to eat that time, sometimes they get it and are OK with it.
Flip side is some jobs don't pay well for whatever reason and can't be done in that time. I eat that. I screw something up, I eat that...
If I'm not billing hours I'm not getting paid.

If more people got paid like me, I feel it would change things for the better. If you want to scratch out a decent living, one must be efficient and also take care to be sure it's done right. No room for half-assed.

My Harley riding buddy just retired from the local honda dealership. Worked there since the day after high school.i know he ran his azz off. He certainly wasn't hurting for money. LOL.

I got a 1285.00 quote. Made my mind up.

No way it would cost that much to have someone haul it down on a trailer. Remember you have many friends here.

Yep a good pull point. Also helps from nosing over. That's the main purpose. Came pretty close to nosing over last weekend in one of the creek crossings.

I've worked by the job all my life nearly. I get it....and agree. Everyone needs to try it.

I appreciate that.

Got a phone call today from one of those friends. The old stubby bastard might wind up in Tennessee after all.
