Evidently either I'm working to cheap or the economy has picked up somewhat , but this year I have been a busy as ever. My problem is while working on a job I have other jobs lined up but either it takes longer to finish the current job or they add extra work on while I'm there. One job , the guy told me he wanted 2 weeks work done , I was there 6 weeks total , he paid me it all went well , but I had another guy get pissed , called me a liar said his money was as good as the other guys etc. To me it makes no sense to move the equipment around just to secure a job , I like to finish where I'm at and move on to the next job, finish and get paid. Between rain and the addition of work I'm in the same situation now , supposed to be somewhere last week , but on the current job I still have another week at least. If they hire someone else , that's fine , but this busier schedule is eating at me a little. At one time I ran 7 days a week , missed my first two kids growing up from ages 3 to 9, so now I try to work 50 hours a week and take my weekends. When I worked 7 days , I made no more money than I do now. I'm not going to expand , been there it did not work , cost instead of making. I'm kind of a one man show , that's why it takes longer at times to finish these jobs. I guess the best thing is to go one day at a time and not sweat the crap , but its bothersome to say the least.
