I'm giving my GenCon (Heh-heh good nick, no?) a "Final Report" to help argue my need for more money by comparing used materials to estimated materials and bid price to amount of man/hours, to price per stop.
It's taken me almost 280 hours total on this job (holy slowpoke, batman!) but factor in the back injury...
I've used about $3600 in materials bought on his account, and he's paid me about $2200 so far...
If he buys it, he'll owe me another $1600...
If not, he'll owe me $250, and I'll be up the "crick"...
The GenCon has agreed that it took him longer than he thought (5 months!), with more complexity than we first realized as per the plans (which became "modified" later)...
He wants to keep me because the quality of my work speaks for itself, and didn't suffer in the light of the possibility of losing money. I guess honesty is the best policy... buts it's been a hard lesson.
$35 per stop plus $1K for the service! I like those numbers!
Redsy, Good point, not all outlets are created equal!
