It's going to be a LONG DAY!

[AdamB]

Well - to be honest, this job was a nightmare and I totally underestimated how long it would take with the cutting, weeding and pressing!

There was a logo on the front and the same logo on the rear together with the web address, phone number, email addresses and a lot of text to explain that events take place.

I made a quick calculation on the *weeding and the bits that were pulled out from this job (in about 7 hrs weeding off and on) - I pulled out 5015 bits!

for those that don't know:
*weeding is pulling/removing the bits of flex that are no longer required after a piece of flex has been cut (for example the centre or an A or the 2 middles of a B)

So the big question is........ Did you still make money?

In hindsight what would you have done differently?

Yeah - in money terms, always a profit - but in time spent on the job and when time is money I would say no. But, this order has built up a relationship that will guarantee more orders 100% which will be priced accordingly, so I guess everything was ok.
Regarding doing anything different - hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I'll definatley have something to compare future orders that will be achieved by myself (no help from the mrs as the kids are on school holiday).
