How do you feel the job went?

How long did it actually take and would you have done anything differently if you could do it again?

it took me 9 hours total.. thats including driving to and from the job site along with 2 trips to the dump. if i could have done anything differently i would have made sure to bring a back up chain. the one i had got pretty dull half way through. probably could have saved me an hour in cutting time. probably would have gotten somebody to help me too. it all worked out though cause i just got a $4000 job from this one by referral. so now i have a little better idea of what im doing on this one..

Would you have liked to price it differently? Or would you the next time a similar job popped up? Or was this price ok?
