| kiwisholland | Denny, Where do you live, don't have to be specific if you don't want, city/suburb/country, east, west, north south. Monolith and I live near Philly, rates will be different than Tioga County. What type of work do you do? Have you fiqured your true breakeven? I personally can't be concerned with what other guys charge. After fiquring my true costs of doing business, I know what I have to charge. There are some big players in service around here (S.E. PA) that charge well over $200 an hour, which is sold flat rate. A relative called some random electricians and was quoted from $75 to $100 an hour site-un-seen. Check the SBA for a free Excel file to help you fiqure your breakeven or search these posts for links to purchase stuff. |

| jfls40 | I am in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh. Home of the 2006 Superbowl Champions, Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback |
| MONOLITH | quote: Then you should be able to charge more; Call it the 'Can't stop the Bus' rate.  If they want to pay less, they can get a contractor who only charges 'Donavan choked again' prices. I'm a steelers fan myself.

| kiwisholland | a steelers fan from FLA living in Philly? UH, what was the score of the AFC championship again? 41-27 What was the score of the Super Bowl? 24-21 Who choked? |
| MONOLITH | I'm both an Eagles and a Steelers fan. Also Miami and Tampa Bay. Nothing wrong with more than one favorite, when it comes to sports, and women. I just couldn't think of any other lame jokes that early this morning.
