Your miles limit? Do you charge when far?

Russ S, I didn't take it seriously that you'd throw me in the river but you made the comment about WA inspectors coming over the border so apparently a business concern. Its a free market but I also believe in helping your fellow man.

[Russell Spriggs]

OK, Peter, forget about it.
Apparently you haven't seen enough of my posts to realize it was a joke for all concerned, not just you.

Feel free to put me on your blocked post list, if you'd like.

And I really don't give a rat's *** who crosses which state border, to make it as plain as possible

Some what, my friend -
My wireless virizon card gets me 115.2 kbps, vs dialup 26.

Not roaring, but better.

Ok Russ, I took it too seriously apparently so thats better than being a true statement from you so all is well. Glad to hear you're at higher connection speeds.

As am I. Now you can download the margarita pie recipe in mere minutes.

Russel, that was accomplished months ago. Connection speed was not a concern! I do have my priorities.
I have yours and the one that was posted afterwards, too!

I drive up to 180 miles one way...no extra charge.
If I didn't they'd get someone closer for a better price and I do what I can to get whatever work I can.

[wforsyth]

Yep, me too. Even if it cuts in heavily from fuel. It spreads the word around the state, and shows that I am hard-working. The last one was three hours each way. Makes for a long day though.

[alarsen1]

3 hours each way? Well, if I ever need a hand I know who to call
Seriously though... good on ya.

I agree with RR's theory about travel - nothing is too far if I can make a day of it.

I have did one near Penn State (about 3.5 hours) last year....and darn if it just didn't coincide with a PSU home game! I made about $300 (after gas) to watch a football game.

Just have to be creative about it....

For Wendy and Kevin (where did you go Kevin - I have missed your posts around here), I agree that you have to go to the work, especially in a tough maket. Any money made for an inspection is better than no money made to sit home - plus you now have a client, a seller, and at least one realtor to market to!!

No limit...

Have ladder, will travel - Anywhere!

If I have to fly there, I rent everything and still do the job.
I went to Kona, Hawaii for a job this year, client arranged the flight, hotel, rental car and a tour of the volcano before flying home the next day. Even had the realtors husband bring a ladder over to the 5000'sf vacant beach in King Kamahamaha Estates. I've done the same thing in Vero Beach, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Mexico and Whistler Canada over the years.
