Re: Extras............
Mike, you're sharing very important business experience that's crucial to economic success.
There are expenses that have to be accounted for in pricing a job. Many people ignore this at their peril.
What you say about subcontractors is universally true. I hope readers appreciate the value of what you're saying.
I'm in business for myself as a lapidary/goldsmith. I cover my rear by getting money upfront. It's been my experience that if I talk to customers frankly and explain certain things they are amenable.
I think, especially in your case, they come to you because they know the quality of your work. In these cases money isn't everything in the customer's mind.

Thanks for the breakdown. It's informative.
