The same reason rich guys wear 5K watches on their arm but look at their phone to tell the time. Flaunting it.

Its not bragging, more of a confirmation, which is understandable in this business.

Jeff's mind has been polluted by what the people is white shirts tell him, which is understandable in this business too.

If everyone "confirmed" what they were getting on here, this would be a an intolerable thread.

Hey, sometimes I am so ecstatic about getting a getting a job at a decent price I have to proclaim it to you guys just to make sure I am not dreaming.

And then the fact that I got it done and still made money, well, its a pretty big deal.

I don't think anyone on here is bragging to anyone about how much they make, its not like that.

I can tell you this...some folks on here don't charge enough to even make me want to get out of bed. I know this from fact. Others appear to make up a bunch of BS. Then there are a few that seem to be knocking it down and telling the truth about it.

I think it's all relative. Someone that has a fraction of the overhead as you obviously won't charge as much. And competition prices have a directing force as well.

Industry standards are 60 bucks a man hour, higher if permits and traffic control are factors.

You are right about that, Jon. It is tough to keep it up year round.

[jefflovstrom]

I was not being a ****. Just curious why anyone would post, some almost daily, about how much money they made.
Maybe a culture thing.
Not trying to start anything,,

[gorman]
