Next thing you know to make it all worth while you have to charge $100 an hour for the 3 hours of actual physical work on the job site and put up with the uninformed complaining about your prices and how they could do it for half the price. All the while they have talked your ear off the whole time about how many investment properties they have and how successful they are.

Go back on wages, not everyone can run their own business, I know plenty of home owners living on one income, no man with a toolbox is worth $90 an hour, full stop, but takes a lot of ya free time that could be spent relaxing doing paperwork!
That's business for you, the give and take, but sadly more take than give!
