Anyone who knows me knows I am big on selective products that save me time on the job or make my daily grind easier. I am a gadget whore when it comes to finding just the right tool for the job and I go to great lengths to make sure the tools or products work for me flawlessly – after all – my hourly rate, “my worth” depends on it! |
| Keeping things simple… I like to use the $199 painted room example when I talk product. If you have two identical rooms and one contractor takes 6 hours to paint it and it takes me 2 hours, I make $100 bucks an hour and he makes $33. I would not be able to paint the room in 2 hours if you put me in his room using his materials and tools. But where the impact is greater is that in 6 hours I can paint 3 rooms or $600 for the day for example. The other contractor is tied to one room. |
A good example is the Full Circle International Flex Edge paired with an FX4 lightweight pole. The time that unit saves me is crazy and its easier to use and more effective. Sure it costs more up front and the replacement paper is a bit more expansive but it lasts much longer. So, are you complaining you are not making enough? Rethink the tools and products you use and see if they can help you increase your rate. |

Werner MT-13 and Series Multiladder
The 13’ has 13 working heights or positions, the 17’ has 20 working heights or positions, the 22’ has 28 working heights or positions and the 26’ has 37 different working heights or positions. I retired my original Little Giant from 90-91 purchased at a home expo show for a Werner MT-13. My LG was used for about 18 years on a regular basis, almost daily. |
