TrickyDick is an unknown quantity at this point
$60/hr is like the kind of money that bikini lawn mower woman gets....if you can get that consistently for labor, without wearing a bikini, you are doing pretty well. You say you're just starting out so I wouldn't expect that to last but if the work keeps coming than good for you.

If we could get 60/hr for all our labor I'd be retired in five years. We don't charge anywhere near that (for general labor) and we tend to be on the higher side around here. We can hire a sub driving a ten wheeler for less than that.
