[QUOTE="lgammon, post: 6820, member: 715"] dad handed down some advice from one of the third richest men in the area that we live. he worked for him when dad was younger. he said, when you tell a man you are going to do somthing you do it, just be damn carful of what you tell him. now there is alot of wisdom in this i have lost alot of jobs because i tell people the truth up front. if i am not sure how long it will take i tell them and don't give a low ball estamate just to hand them a big bill later. you always look better telling some one 1000-1500 and then when you get done hand them a bill for 900-1100, other than giving them a 2200 bill. be honest, it isn't easy, you will see it cost you jobs and you will never notice the ones you get but it is the only way to last [/QUOTE]
