    How Long Did It Take?

    for quite some time i began timing all my projects. perhaps a bit anal, but i used a stopwatch for the first few years after a time i knew the average time any class of work took to complete. not knowing the time spent on a job means you may be giving away your time. as far as being asked, "...
