Thanks for the questions TD. You pointed my thinking along the right lines. From a creative stand point, I'm confident the design will be very good. This is a big job and I haven't even seen the site or a plan set and they want me to start yesterday. It's great that they like my work and all, but I think I'm a bit beyond my scope on this one.
I remember my first year as a landscape contractor I won a bid for a fairly sophistcated custom residential job. I was so excited and I stopped thinking for a while. We ended up losing money on the job and learning some tough lessons.
The funny thing is, I'm already busy. But a big job like this makes you think this could be the job that gets a career started. In reality, my career has already started and I'm happy with custom residential design. In fact, the commercial work I do for this contractor is the least satisfying of all the work I do. Big shot-itis.
Thanks, TD.
