I will play nice!

Let's start out with this very simple question:
How much are materials going to run you?

Well, at least he was laughing so we'll give him the benefit of doubt.

Steve, Here is exactly what I would charge;

(Cost of materials + profit markup) + [(labor charge including burden, OH & profit) x number of hours] + oops factor if required = sell price.

Note: there is no reference to the going rate or how much anyone else would charge.

Good Luck
Dave

How about hire a guy like me, then just mark it up a bit. Leave it to someone who knows whats going on.
