[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1623488, member: 24583"] I agree 100%. But it’s not foolproof. And it’s not sustainable in every situation. I’m a construction contractor. I tried that. My help was making money but I wasn’t. Increased prices to absorb added expenses. Almost priced myself out of work. Market wouldn’t support it. Not here anyway. Another crew will come in and work cheaper. Never mind that they do a half azz job. They have the check and are gone before the problem shows up two years down the road. I have a regular crew of 4 head. And use 40(+) subcontractors. I made more money with many less headaches when it was myself and a helper. Pretty sure I’m going back to that scenario when I complete my current obligations. Too much red tape, regulation, insurance requirements, workers compensation, etc. comes with the larger jobs. I’m going back to the little stuff everyone around here thinks is beneath them. I used to want to be the big fish. But everyone wants to catch the big fish! [/QUOTE]
