Thanks All

Thanks again to all for your tips.

Sumpen :(The caps letters it's just a bad habit) i always type everything like that.

Swishpainting: Remember in my first e-mail i said i know how to paint but i don't have a clue about the business, well for the past 4 years i have been painting for a jewish man that owns a few buildings and a management company with a lot of other building in brooklyn, i got hook up by my best friend that is a super and a supervisor for that company and i learn to charge by the EYE
no mesurement, no square foot nothing.

My friend let him get use to that and when he couldn't take care of the painting jobs no more, that's when i got in and i kept working the same way.

(I have to say that painting have been for me just a part time job) i was a manager for many years in a parking garage in nyc (12 worked there)
and the paint jobs was like a 3 months or so in the year. (i got the time and the people to do the jobs every year)

When i got some private home or apartments i'll charge the same way, i let the people pay for materials and charge just for labor (per room) a 2 beedroom apt. with everything else and ceiling about $1800 to $2000

Last job i did for the Jew man was last year, a 4 floor building and an annex, it took me and two other guys 3 weeks to finish and i charge him a little more than $9 K. (but it was a loooot of square foots).

So i want to learn from the expert, and i hope when ever i got in trouble some body will trough the tower for me.

thanks a million :D
