Hi Wayne, Get the Arthur Reblitz book from the library, it might help. The unfortunate thing, is that it is hard to unlearn wrong methods that you have learned. Join the PTG as soon as possible, and possibly some RPT will take you under his wing. The help you get will depend on the amount of work available, in your area. Because it is kind of hard to train your future competition, if you are short of work yourself. Just keep working, doing the best job you can. Don't charge for the amount of time it takes you, if you are getting the job done by trial and error, the customer should not pay for your learning experiences. Charge for the amount of time it should have taken you, if you got it right the first time. John M.
