    Thanks for the responses everyone. You all have given me alot more to think about. To clarify I was making around $50.00/Hr to P/W(clean), brighten, and stain a deck after my expenses. Stripping a deck would be more money per hour. As far as the question of do I quote an hourly rate to my customers..No. I bid per job at a fixed square footage rate.

    Which stains are the best to use if I am concerned about it raining shortly after application? And which stain can be used on a wet or damp deck besides Wood-Tux? And finally, where can I get Wood Tux locally? I could not find the Wood Tux website.

    Thanks again all.

    Dan

    Dan, you are welcome to call me on Saturday. I can help you.

    That's a nice tv. We have the same one in our living room. We bought it last July after we moved the 65" Mitsu to the basement. (Nightmare!) We really like it. Mitsu rocks. Both tv's have been really good ones. 24 in HD really rocks! I'm getting my HD DVR from Direct TV installed on Feb 5. No more commercials!

    The 1st season rocks! I just started watching it again this morning. I always watch 1 or 2 episodes while I work out in the mornings. It keeps my mind off of the pain. (Those 2lb. curls are really kikin' my a$$!)

    No way...The first 4 hours haven't aired yet, have they?

    Yes they have. The first 2 housr aired 1/14/07 and the second 2 hours aired 1/15/07.

    I saw the season premier disk for sale somewhere, but I assumed it was just the Prevue disk...Season 4 had a season 5 prevue disk, but season 5 didn't have a season 6 prevue disk.

    This in not a preview disc. It is the actual first 4 episodes.

    That'd be AWESOME if they'd release each disk as the episodes air....no waiting for next December to get them.

    Heck yes!

    Need I say more?! This is gonna be the best season yet. Poor Jack though! What a "welcome home" party! I can't believe what happened to Curtis. I really liked that guy too. I guess Jack had no choice.

    It's good that you want to learn first before you do the work. A lot of guys wait until they ruin 25 decks b4 they learn!

    The best way to learn is to work with a successful pwer's crew for a few days. You are welcome to come up here and work with us in the spring. Bring a camcorder and a note pad. There's a lot of people here that will do the "labor for learning" thing.

    Your experienced opinion please -

    Scenario - Let's say you did 100 decks last year. Avg. price was $750.00 per deck. That means your gross was $75,000.00. What do you say the breakdown on the following items should be? Please, no percents. Just dollars. I broke the results down into 2 different categories. Obviously, typical speaks for itself, optimal is for someone with realistically good closing skills and runs an efficient company. BTW, this is also based on the business owner not doing any of the labor. He/she will be too busy doing estimates!

    Item -------------Typical Results -------------Optimal Results

    Adv. Cost

    Supplies

    Wages

    Gas (ballpark)

    Profit
