The way and the kind of questions you asked appear to be from someone on a fishing trip for information.
I am fishing, for information which will indirectly help to put food on my table. Let me relate one experience:
A friend of mine asked me to install about 100' of chain link fence. I told him that I normally charge about $16 per foot for wooden fence (materials and labor), and that I had never done a chain link fence before. I told him that the labor part came out to be about $10 per LF.
I told him that since he was my friend, I would charge him only $7 per LF, if he would supply materials. When I was ready to put the fabric on, we went to Lowe's to purchase the fabric. Right there next to the price sign for the fence fabric, was the price sign for installation - 3.50 per foot.
Somebody, that day, looked like a crook.
I am getting a lot of leads for this that and the other, and most of them seem to be lost because fo high price. Am I too greedy?
