New - From Kansas


Hello to ALL...

I'm from Leavenworth, Kansas.

I'm a Handyman / Repair guy, in business for 3 years, after going through the computer trade. (among other trades during my working years!)
I enjoy shooting guns, and being lazy!

I fell into this forum, while looking for a Grumman van, and needed to sign up...

Thanks,

Jim (stainless45)

Re: New - From Kansas


Thanks to ALL...

Hey hjm: Know any local spots to look for a Grumman box van?
I have just started the quest, and have looked on e-Bay, but most of those are on the East coast - and I'm not flying out there & driving back! If you have any ideas, please let me know...

Thanks again.

Re: New - From Kansas


How much do you guys charge here in Kansas? (I'm just starting out) I figured my overhead+ labor burden and I came up with $32.05 hourly. I planned on figuring profit (7-20%, not sure yet) as a % on top of time/materials... sound like to much?

Thanx
Caleb
