John and others, I've worked by this method for some time. However, I think one consideration might be that a really good way to know if you misquote is by keeping accurate record of the time you spend on your work. I know I'm guilty of generalizing my time in the shop, and I've longed to know how many minutes I ACTUALLY spend doing the various jobs. Trouble is..........I don't want a time clock either. <G> I've made a couple well-intentioned efforts to track my time in the shop to see if I'm as accurate as I think I am when I quote a job. I get about halfway through a job before I stop keeping track. My difficulty is that I hate being distracted with time-keeping. I'd rather be working. Pick your battles I guess. William R.
