    Plumbers cost for small job!

    Tools Wear and tear is depreciation come tax time. So a nailgun, for example, which is used everyday, will have to be purchased every few years (4 years maybe) then depreciated. Nails, on the other hand, for the gun are charged as they are used. Sharpening of tools and replacement are tax...

    Well Wllair, Don't forget we also charge for our labour, which at the moment is around $45/hour. Though this is not considered profit, $45/hour is reasonable money. SS

    Builders "profit" margin

    Hi, Always Learning, This is how we charge. We are builders. We usually do renovations and additions. Firstly, we only do charge-up jobs, because we never know what we will find under the roof or floor. We charge 15% on top of costs. A carport, for example...

    What's the best reason you've heard for investing from people?

    My reason is simple. Contributing to the family income, so my hubby can have a day off occasionally. At 24 (38 now), I got an illness that made me bedridden for 2 years. Still have it but not as bad now. Aug 2003 discovered I had something wrong with my thyroid which needed to be taken...
