The question that I have is, do you know anyone who does that sort of
thing and makes a decent living. How does it work in "cold, hard

and another reality check. Gunner has been doing this for awhile and
isn't getting rich at it. He occasionally runs across similar deals,
although not as frequently as you.


Gunner has a good hourly rate but he doesn't bill for every hour he
puts in at a client's site. I stopped doing that last year and we're
all happier, I think. (I hope he sees this, but I won't see his reply
unless it's via email.)

I'm not sure how much he makes on refurbing machinery.
