Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[Jimmy in NC]

Well I was hoping to do some shop stuff tonight but the wife called and apparently I have to go with her to return items I didn't want to buy on Saturday in the first place. Good thing saws are patient!

You hope.. Sparky asked to borrow the truck yesterday but I pointed out the A/C was still 10-7 so he said you were safe for a few more days...:msp_scared:

Jokes on him ! No saws in there yet ! LOL From the looks of the inside its going to be a while ! Only about a 1/3 of it gutted so far.
Not sure about the hot water tank ? What I can read it says ,12 volt,110 & 220 on it ? 220 makes no sense ? The fresh water tank is good shape,and a 12 volt pump too ! I will be keeping that. LOL I can make that into something useful !
The AC unit is ready to come off and go on CL. LOL Just need to find out what they usually go for used ? I know around 500 new. The crapper and all that stuff I aint so keen on getting out of there ! :msp_scared: Don't think they ever used it , but ? LOL The little tiny furnace I aint got to yet. The fridge is unscrewed on the inside,but something is stihl holding it ? Nice microwave is out. Just a regular 110 job. Not worth much I don't think ? Its all 1994 stuff,but hardly ever used. The shower is junk,to ugly and dirty,good shape stihl,just never used. And it looks like a pain to get out ?
Had some kind of fungus growing on the carpet ! :msp_scared: Glad thats out of there !
If they had fixed the roof a few years ago,it would stihl be a nice camper.
Maybe I will take some pix today ? LOL

This is a 1994 26' Dutchman ! LOL

Not doubting your ability in the least.. just saying I have to be careful what I take in. Some people just won't pay to fix it proper. I make it VERY clear up front that I'll fix it like it was my own. I don't work for flat rate or have any fixed pricing. My hourly rate is 1/3 the going shop rate in my local area. If they like it, fine. Any issues and I remind them they can take it down the road. Again I think you'll enjoy it. I sure find it relaxing after work all day...

Yup. The truth hurt sometimes.

When I was a gun smith. Someone would say:

"I want my 22 reblued. I want a good job. But it shouldn't cost much. It's only a 22"

Exactly what I was talking about.

Case and point: Two months ago I get a call from a guy that wants me to drive and pick up his mower, diagnose it, deliver it back, and not spend more than $100.00. Then he gives me a sob story of how 3 dealers have jacked him around on his beloved 518-H Toro and yada yada yada. I told him I was sorry but that wasn't me that charged him big money and gave him nothing. I would see what I could do but I would charge him to pick it up as a minimum. When I got it going I pointed out some other errors to him on the phone and he agreed to over his max by a little. When I brought it back to him, he was amazed and told me it hadn't run that good in years! :msp_scared: I did ok on it.. but next time will cost him extra for his antics this time. Clearly he had money.. and looked surprised when I brought his mower back in khakis and a polo. It really threw him a loop when I told him that I am a project manager and chief estimator and this is just side work... not that it matters my education or other work at all. :msp_angry:

Just don't get screwed Geoff! While some people see it as only $30-40 on a chainsaw.. starting out that's a chunk of money!

And remember to figure in when you trash a customers OEM P&C and have to replace it.

And be up front when you do......
