Well work is slow but I made $12 today. :clap:
Its a long story on why I did this ceiling fan repair but I knew it was going to be a dirt cheap deal, sortof to help a relative get some brownie points at their job.
Anyways it was about a 1 hour job and the HO wasnt home. It was one of those pay whatever you think is fair deals. Taking out the cost of parts there was $12 of pure profit unless you figure in gas money. Then maybe $6 profit. These condos the place was at are not cheap, this person has money so they know what kind of money you should make.
It just makes me wonder what the hell some people think. The only thing I can come up with the reason they pull crap like that is they are stupid or just flat out greedy. Or maybe they think the construction trade is like how it is on alot of TV shows, stupid fat guys or stupid immigrants doing the work because they are to stupid to do anything else.
If that true then why cant they do it themselves?
Id like to have a doctor help me with a broken bone for about a hour and give him $12. Getting license in the electrical field is about 8 years, how long does it take a doctor to become licensed? Some people just need a kick to the head.
I dont mean to rant but people who think low of our trade just really gets under my skin.
