    I've been thinking about the size of the job over the last few days. Time management and all that good stuff ..

    Figure maybe .5 man hours per unit between the picking up, break down, trips to the yard, & everything else involved.

    .5 mh x 450 units = 225 man hours

    To put it into context : Figuring 40 hr work weeks ... the average guy works 160 man hours per month.



    You are going to have to quit your job and do this full time for the next month and a half !

    Been tryin' to think of some kind of work around the problem. Seems like you've bitten off more than you can chew. Heaven knows ... that's easy enough to do.

    Is there some way you could transport the units directly from your pickup point to the yard ?

    Forget the disassembly part and take your lumps ?

    Maybe even have the yard drop off a rollaway at your pickup point. All you do is broker the deal for a commission ?
