Oh...in fact, I had one guy that had a huge hump in the concrete where I was going to put down flooring. Was convinced that he needed a flat rate for the task. Told him that I can give him a flat rate, but it was going to have to cover any possible items that may come up.

Instead, he saw the wisdom in going hourly. I worked my ass off(goggles, respirator and ear plugs for 10 hours, I felt like I was cut off from the world) and still made money but didn't end up gouging him on extra time I would have included in a flat rate.

Sometimes you need to have a little faith in people.
