inClient kept adding 'one quick thing' until a 3 week project hit 4 months
Wrote a "revision menu" after my third project went sideways and it saved me. First two rounds of changes are free, then it's an hourly rate after that, and I put the number right in the contract so nobody's surprised. I told the bakery owner I wanted to keep going but the scope had doubled, so either we set a cutoff for the logo or she pays for the extra rounds. She picked the cutoff and honestly she seemed relieved too, since all those little tweaks were stressing her out as well.

inDitched my $300 digital level after a foreman showed me a string line trick
Man, the "$300 digital level" part hit me right in the wallet. I did the exact same thing last fall, bought one thinking I was being all high tech and professional. First job with it, I dropped it off a ladder and the screen went all weird, so now it's basically a very expensive paperweight. My old man's been using the same beat up string line and a bubble level for 20 years, and he's never once needed to charge his tools overnight. I guess the real trick is that the cheap stuff never lies, it just sits there and waits for you to figure it out.
