Virgil,
$25 an hour would not begin to pay our hourly expense, not including wages. A handyman in my area gets between $75 and $100 an hour, no truck or old truck, no insurance, little or no tools.
I looked back in the old service order files to see when we charged $25 for a service call, I found some from 1967 $27.50 for service call, trip charge included.
This would mean the average 3 bedroom home is selling for $27,000 and your area weekly income is $200 a week.
