Should I take the job....

I couldn't record much more since I was in a homeowner's home and didn't want to make them uncomfortable, but basically this hole is about 30+ feet high in the ceiling. I'm still getting my business off the ground and just have a few jobs lined up so I'm very tempted to take the job.

Would you guys take the job? Is it even worth it to rent the right scaffold/ladder to get it done?

Bulletin Boards in and Around Des Moines?

Hey everyone, I'm just curious about what bulletin boards are in and around Des Moines nowadays. Casey's used to have them but it seems like most of them don't have them anymore. Just trying to get Word of my ​drywall repair business out there. Thanks in advance!

Collecting Deposit on Big Jobs...

Okay, so I know it's important to collect 50% deposit on big jobs. However, how and when do you collect the deposit?

For example, I am bidding a sizable taping and texture job, but the homeowner is an older guy that is almost an hour away. Do I collect a check from him the day before the job begins (potentially Tuesday)? Or do I collect payment from him the morning of the job since it is far away? Probably a dumb question but figured I'd ask rather than regret making a big mistake.
