How much is it to rent that guy standing at the sign for an hour? Asking for Duratec

Not about to ask a dude waiting for the bus anything. I have standards, even if it isn’t for me.

Whatcha got Gaz. Lollie cake?

Often called confetti slice or peanut butter marshmallow slice. One of the few treats I can grab and go as they are pretty much always gluten free.

I appreciate that.

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

That’s good to hear. If I knew when the wife and I would be going on a vacation to Nashville I’d haul it down. Not really sure when we’ll go there at this point.

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

I've hung a few houses by the board. Not enough to be fast enough to make money though. Just as something to keep my help working during slow times.

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.

I do flat rate for peoples.

good evening, pastures

I got a special call tonight, started making a small shopping list at TsuMura baby bars, plus Valorbe chiesel files.

Then I saw a picture of a new TsuMura for 592. Anyone know anything about that?

Just filed a slot flat on a new Tsumara light bar...meh. Dunno about 592.
