Question

How Much A Linear Foot For Labor?

How Much A Linear Foot For Labor?
I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME OUT? I NEED TO TURN IN A BID TO INSTALL ABOUT 4000 FEET OF 6' HIGH CHAINLINK NO BARBWIRE, JUST TOPRAIL, BRACES AND TRUSSES. A JOB THIS SIZE IS A GOOD ONE, I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFULL, NOT TO GO TO HIGH ON MY LABOR, BUT I ALSO DON'T WANNA CHEAT MYSELF EITHER. IF ANY ONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A PRICE I WOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR IT. THANKYOU

Hey Bone Man

(read with sarcasm)

Yeah...you do really crappy work. I was just going over your curved stairway deck http://www.contractortalk.com/f50/another-curved-deck-stair-project-26216/ thread.

Now come on. I mean really. If you were as good as some fence guys, you'd have found a way to make that curve into an escalator or something...sheesh...I'd hang it up bro.

v/r
Mike, the guy who can only think and work in straight lines.
