  1. Has busy melowed out and if so, does spring time bring sales back up?

  10. Estimates & Invoices

    Yeah, I would agree with lumping parts together. I learned eraly that customers may start removing line by line items and then the reality is "I ended up taking the hit". So, I don't put it all under one roof, but Like i said " I lump certain pieces together" to give the estimates a...
