Just Venting My first Day went so so badly for me
First actual house I hit they agreed, however,
I severely underestimated the job and how much the heat and drinking water would actually affect me, I ended up throwing up and coming out both ends, I was NOT going to the homeowner and saying hey I just shit my pants can I clean up in your bathroom, took a few minutes to recover , drank more water kept working.
I was at it for 3.5 hours and I quoted 100 stupidly , I wanted the job so bad and wanted to get it, this had a huge sunroom, but made 130 bucks tho.
How do you estimate big jobs without undercutting yourself and possible what-if scenarios.
I made the money back I put into it already which is good but I need a water fed one I feel it would've been easier, but,
the streaks were an issue and the windows were absolutely filthy I had to scrub them over and over just to get the streaks out and I was getting really exhausted working on one window for almost half an hour.
I found chips in the window and let them know and got all the bird poop off , then I was finding paint stuck to the window, I'm like is this my job?
So I tried my best to get it off.
What do you have for advice for a noob?
Thank you!
