It'd cost me several hundred per day to rent equipment, then I'd need about $60/hr to make a living out of it. That's assuming I had jobs scheduled every day. There's your $150/day. Cheap. You add some old fence, I need a laborer to help with, and it just keeps going up.

Can I get a government loan to buy a Caterpillar? This science gig was a lot more interesting 20 years ago. Now I just want to buy a bulldozer and play Tonka toys for a living.
