Sure, but what happens when you phone the sub-contractor, he says "oh,
that's gonna take a day or two", you have them start the work... Upon
seeing the job: "Hmm, maybe a week", you phone him a week later, he says
"I'm sending in a pro to do it right, will take another week".
Can you plan for that on a chart? Nope!
So a warning to fellow listers: gas tanks can be a real bear to fix. I
don't think the Moss slushing kit could have helped my tank. Don't count
on the first estimate given!
