I just secured my first job today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I'll be making enough to pay my start up costs and still put some money in the bank[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Which makes the wife real happy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Initially it was one job at a nursery, then the partner showed up and mentioned a couple more things they wanted me tolook at[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] so, I put a bid together for that. When I delivered the bids today, they told me they liked my numbers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] As we were talking, I mentioned another way to secure a couple of their storage containers and they told me to put together a new bid on my newest ideas and they will take a look at it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] of course, my new idea equals more earnings[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Sweet deal MD.

Working on a project that we decided to use a low end PLC. Would have been about say $500. So today we wrote a purchase order for $1800... And still need to spend another $500. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] The boss is NOT gonna be happy on Monday morning.

I just wish he'd read through the specs carefully. And he talks about those guys up at the winery buying a job trying to short cut something. And to actually do this to spec I really need to add about 7-8 more input points. Nice thing is they have another job that's the same thing, just smaller motors. Maybe we can make it up there. "So why are you charging us more for this job that the last one?" "Well, because now we know better what this is going to cost."
