eclipsefence is an unknown quantity at this point
It's been inconsistent for me. A month of non stop estimates and work, then I get worried for a week or so, then slammed for a few weeks, and again the work seems to be drying up. I partially blame myself; being in the field all week leaves me no time or energy to bump up advertising, find ways to cut costs, and other office work. So I hired another guy and am trainign both my guys to work for me.

I have found there are more lowballers this year than the past two. I've been costanly underbid, by 3 digits, on two day jobs. I'd lose money for sure if I'd compete with them. So I'll jsut stay 3 steps above, and wait for them to sell off their equipment cheap.
