  1. Discussion Pricing your print/jobs/installs >>MEGA Thread<<.

    OK - that would be nice if you posted it. I was a little confused as to where the post was going and didn't see a link for anything. I always enjoy looking at other spreadsheets so I can update mine with the bells and whistles.

    Following... Last week the bank called me and had to issue all new debit cards because something at the bank or a website was hacked. What a PITA. Then my online banking would not work. Finally got it working this morning with the help of the bank. I literally had no debit card and no access...

    Welcome! I post a few questions a day sometimes. people can keep scrolling if they want but I always get some takers!
  4. Discussion Pricing your print/jobs/installs >>MEGA Thread<<.

    I created an Excel spreadsheet. Mine has a labor spot, square foot, linear and per item price space. I just enter the pricing in one time. Then I just enter the price into my Wave accounting estimate. I wouldn't mine switching over to File Maker now that I have it pretty close to how I want it...
  5. Signcraft Sign Quote could be helpful

    Same here...I'm actually working on my pricing right now LOL
  6. Signcraft Sign Quote could be helpful

    There's lots of people asking about software for pricing. I just happen to check in with Signcraft and the calculator they have is quite nice! Just wanted to throw it out there for those of you who ask...it might be a good starting point and you could use the elements to build your own. That's...
  7. Meeting with corporate buyers

    I agree. At my last job, I took over for a lady who retired. I had 40 on-site people and 40 off-site partners to track all the budgets and PO's (80million-ish). She tracked the budgets in massive binders with basic math using a pencil. I had to walk around and get manual signatures from 40...

    Yes, she was a real b*tch
  9. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    I do the same thing Gino does and I have the DeWalt one but the smaller version. I have used the table saw but I'm scared of it so I prefer the router.
  10. What is the cause of this shrinking Laminate?

    So, you put vinyl over screws - does that hold up decent? I've only gone over rivets. I usually paint the screws to match the vinyl and clear coat them then screw them back in. If they are silver I typically don't paint them unless the customer wants them painted. I always ask and add a painting...
  11. Rain, Ice, Snow sandwiched by summer weather

    OMG yes!!! THIS!!!
  12. Meeting with corporate buyers

    I know it wasn't a criticism - no worries, I just wanted to clarify that during this meeting it was the first time I heard about them needing PO's. I used to be account manager for a 50+ million budget for advertising budget in my past life, I know all too well about people buying things without...
  13. Meeting with corporate buyers

    Yippee! I'll bring my pickleball paddle and cornhole boards!
  14. Rain, Ice, Snow sandwiched by summer weather

    Yes! I am a 4 season person. I love Spring because it signals summer is coming and I love to get my garden started and watch my tiny seeds start, listen to the rain and thunder of springs storms. Summer is fun time for us, weekends spent at the family cottage, bonfires, sitting outside watching...
  15. Meeting with corporate buyers

    In this case, I was never told I needed a PO...if they don't tell me, I don't ask since 90% of my customer are PO free. The school district is very strict about PO's. I learned real quick if I don't get a PO BEFORE the job is delivered then it's extremely difficult to get one...suddenly...
  16. One man shop growing pains

    There's plenty of days I've been here until midnight or 9pm because something goes wrong. I hate those days and I've learned that giving a little extra lead time can help that - as long as you don't procrastinate LOL
  17. Meeting with corporate buyers

    I really appreciate at the posts on this, it's very helpful! I think when I respond back with my estimate I will say something like, "An advantage of working with my small local company is there is one point of contact, I do all all the production and quality checks myself. My flexibility and...
  18. Stainless steel rocker panels - how do they line up?

    Update -- so after calling the customer, having him order another set from the local auto shop, me calling the auto shop, then calling the place they got them from, then Larry calling the company...the company finally sent this email to Larry who sent it to me and I'm telling you now...LOL I had...

    Great to know, thank you!
