How much should we charge to spray paint an area of one m2 . To spray paint 1 square meter, a reasonable charge would be between R50 and R150 depending on factors like the quality of paint, required preparation, your location, and experience level; with a basic paint job starting around R50 per square meter and more complex projects reaching up to R150 per square meter.

Successful Contractor :- Should you break down your bid for the customer when requested? What's the difference between a bid and an estimate? I'll show you exactly what works for me and why. 

That sounds reasonable. However there is also the other side of the coin

@budedwards4292  As a general contractor, I break everything down to show the homeowners exactly what they are getting. I show them my mark up and cost for each item that way they see I’m not hiding anything. This has gotten me more jobs in the end by not hiding anything. We do everything on a cost plus basis so it is fair for both sides if you start doing this you will win a higher percentage of the jobs you bid. Don’t hide anything and you will have more trust from the start.

From Best Documenteries:- Here is an original journey, a journey that tells the story of British Columbia: the journey of a log from the forest to the sawmill. We come across a lumberjack who cuts down thousand-year-old trees in perilous conditions. A tugboat captain dragging behind him a raft of 30,000 tons of wood. A beachcomber, a sort of sea scrap merchant, who lives off the logs he harvests on the shore. Operators who operate sort of tumbling boats to bring the wood to the sawmill. And there is the ocean everywhere. Because in British Columbia, wood and sea are intimately linked…

What are Vitrified Tiles?

Vitrified tiles are manufactured using a mixture of clay with silica, quartz and feldspar that is hydraulic-pressed and then fired in the kiln at high temperatures. The ingredients meld together at higher temperatures in a process called vitrification and create a glassy, hard vitreous surface. 

Highly durable and low on maintenance, vitrified tiles are used widely in homes, offices and commercial establishments. While they are more expensive than ceramic tiles, they are also much more durable. Vitrified tiles are available in glossy and matte finishes, and are even available with wood, marble and granite lookalike surfaces. You can, therefore, get a floor that looks very similar to marble but at a fraction of the cost of real marble.

In the kitchen.  Don't forget, the distance between the countertop and the underside of the upper cupboards should be 450 mm. Not 600. Doing so makes the upper kitchen cupboards a lot easier to reach the shelves.

Kitchen 18 Inches = 450mm

Shop fitters and kitchen cupboard manufacturers. Did you know that most American fitted kitchens have a distance of 18 inches (450mm) between the counter top & the underside of the upper cabinets? In South Africa, the standard height is 24" (600 mm) And that puts the lower shelf of the upper cabinets too high above the counter. Placing the upper cabinet at 450 mm above the counter makes them super comfortable to use. Try it. It feels amazing. The ladies will love your kitchens.


What makes America Great ?  The people.
