Hi Tom:

The blocks are compromised at this point and it need to go. Are materials for a chimney expensive? It seems to me most of the cost is labor. I had a similar job done during the...

Maybe we need to handle it like Singapore handles littering? Public a55 whippings. It’s amazing how clean Singapore is and how everyone knows the law!

30% to the bottom line is not seen in many businesses. That is a huge profit. Think about it, a $3,000,000 revenue company’s owner would make $900,000! That doesn’t happen often.

Is it typically 15% for labor and material plus 15% for
overhead? I’m trying to back into a quote and I want to understand what is standard/reasonable.

A dive shop is an excellent thought. I’m going to try the one in Wolfeboro. I appreciate your input.
