Calculate monthly hydro, taxes, maintainance, consumables and equipment
replacement cost. All this sounds like work but, business is business.
If
you were paying $1000/m to rent your shop, $1000/m to rent/lease/loan for
tools, $1000/m for hydro/tax/consumables and had to take home $5000/m to
keep the wife supplied with bon bons, you'd need to be at $50/h ($8k /
160
hours per month )

Far easier to charge $8000 for the first job of the month and then you are
covered



say once you get that first job done, can you come over and help me
out with a few things?
