Thanks for the replies guys. The hourly component makes sense. One additional idea I've had for the project is including an island. How does this effect the project in terms of cost? I thought it would be a nice area to put glacial erratic boulders that are bound to turn up during the project as well as an area for nesting waterfowl.
Any takers on someone willing to share a sample bid sheet? If not I hope there is one in the back issues of pond boss I plan to order.
Thanks, Chris
