I think $200 is a great price actually. At least a $100 for the loading and unloading and $100 per hour. $200 might be on the low end and you did an excellent job ... working that machine like a pro now! What was the OOPS?!? It looked like glass breaking.
It was a pane of glass. There is a glass company behind the guy that I was working for. They had a pane of glass propped up between a flat bed trailer that's been parked there for 5 years, two rotten pallets, and then the pile of rock.
Sounds like a good price and you had fun doing it (except for the glass breakage). Make sure and set aside a small portion of any earnings for your maintenance reserves (oil filters, engine rebuilds, etc.). Keep up the great vids and hope you get more paying gigs!
Had a ball! The glass didn't belong to the guy I was doing the work for. There is a glass company behind his business and they just leave their glass all over the place outside. The glass I broke had probably been out there for years.
