Dave,
You should have gotten a 10% BONUS/TIP for doing such a small job..
If the electricians out there would stick to their guns, maybe we could make a buck or two. It is possible to lose a bid over $75.
Bid the job so you can make a PROFIT. If you don't then why are you contracting?
If your client doesnt accept your proposal...your better off because if you go down or cut your wages you are short changing yourself..DO NOT LET GUILT RUN YOUR BUSINESS.
Set an hourly rate for each type of work...have a trip charge fee, make 10-15% off parts...YOUR TIME IS WHOW YOU GET PAID!
-regards
Mustang
