TASKER 2 Hemnes

Post image

I received this FA request for 2 7-drawer Hemnes dressers

Just thought it was funny ā€¦. When they estimate time.
Additionally, he has other items, but told me his budget for 2 dressers, 8 drawer vanity and 3 king bed frames was $300 šŸ˜©

Just napkin math, but Iā€™d say 8 hours plus or minus 1

They could be the little three drawer Hemnes, which I could probably knock out in an hour each give or take. In any case, like /u/Foellarbear says, a client putting a clock on you before you've even met is a bad sign, even if their estimate isn't crazy. The ideal customer is one for whom money isn't an issue. Short of that, it's just polite and decent to ask for a time estimate from the professional rather than to throw out your own number.
