It took you less than 5 mins.... and now I have to pay you $100 + !

So what I did was ... go to the job .... say I am going to need a cad weld .... be right back I am going to the electrical supply store..... I would then drive to a few other jobs..... say the same thing... by the time I got back to the first... it was a few hours later.... then I would run out to my van a few times pretending I was getting a drill , latter , wire nuts , ect... come back... do the job in less than 5 mins.... go back out to my van and write the invoice !

But all in all it was not really even worth the time .... even if I could do like 10jobs like that a day ! I liked the big ones... Co Generation plants, I worked on the High Voltage splices at Mono Rail System at Newark Airport. ( Got paid crazy amounts for that ) ... the first phase of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.... I would just go chasing around all the big jobs around the country. The ones I could walk out with $10,000 of thousands when I was done.... not a freakin $100 !
