    Theres a guy in this line of business nearby to our house with 2 large chalkboard A-frames outside his house.

    I can't remember the exact message, but goes something like "For lawn mowing don't call Jim call James on 04xx xxx xxx" the other one says "to get a VIP service"

    Makes me smile everytime I drive past.

    quoting on a job, did a walk around, in my head i said it would be 90 minutes and 4 cubic metres of waste - finishing the job, looking at the clock, it was 90 minutes on the dot, and 4 cubes of waste.

    nice job from a flyer.

    @courty, thats the rover for ya, lol, it mows at sprint speed

    @bsd, look up 90 minutes on the chart i posted, its $125 for the labour (100 minutes including 1 way travel at $75 an hour) , then i charged (in my head) $40 for the green waste excess, and it had a long drive to cart all the waste down, so that played a part in the gw charge too.

    cheers
