I have bought some sheets to add to bins. Maybe 7 sheets around on a 24 right??? A bin without stiffeners would take thicker sheets as you go down. Steel prices are raising also. Another factor is if you were charged manufactures retail price? Big difference if he could have charged you $200 a sheet which might be nearer cost and actually charged you $400 which might have been manufactures retail. I assume they ordered the sheets and drove to pick them up. Probably charged you full retail based on manufactures pricing. Three guys at $15 an hour each for a day could be short of $400. The sheets could be nearly $3000. Labor and sheets could be close to $3400. $50 for bolts. If the bin had a floor that would have been a hassle to take out and put in. Drag in the jacks. Run a couple of trucks to the site. Load the jacks. Cover the overhead he might have. I could see it being $5000 since you really didn't tie him down as to what things were going to cost. You probably should have made it a 7 ring bin while he was there. Things are expensive. I just don't want the shock so I always at least ask first so I have an idea and also have something to fall back on if things get out of hand. Mark it up to an education and move on. Don't "black ball" this guy, it wasn't all his fault. Next time have them itemize and then compare. You are not the only guy it happened too. I had a $13,000 pond turn in to a $22,000 pond. We worked it out and are still good friends. He still does work for me. He had hired an employee to run a dozer for the first time. He charged me dozer time of $130 for all the time the guy was on the job even if he was holding a rod or off the dozer taking a leak. Honestly he was off 25% of the time I was billed. Like I say everything worked out.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
