I tried to find a small HMI today. Only one close was 2.5 times what I needed and way overkill.

I unloaded probably $300 worth of PVC if it had been in 10' instead of 4 and less. Landfill.

Doesn't take much PVC to get to $300 lately though. You possibly hand carried it all at once. :)
 
I always get the 320’s from the poco, and they will give you the lugs for the load side that you specify if it’s underground, or line and load if it’s overhead.

“COVID” I new it was coming months before it started.

Yes, I feel like I would have known it was coming too, not for months, but at least I would have noticed before the day I was furloughed, if I hadn't been changing jobs because I was laid off, and then shopping for a truck the whole time because my new job didn't provide a vehicle. And then, the irony, I didn't even use my new truck for a year after COVID hit.

But honestly, I'm just not very organized in my life. Right now I have 10 estimates waiting for me to do, from the last two weeks (the ones that might still be interested in getting an estimate) and 20 more that I never got done that probably went with another electrician already, and I have about 10 jobs from the last two weeks that I need to put into the system and bill for, and here I am posting on a forum instead. There could be another pandemic coming and I wouldn't notice again, if I don't do something different and actually get to a point where I'm organized and have people that can help me keep up with all this work so I have time to just relax without worrying about it all.

Oh, and on the inventory question, I have been attempting to keep a lot of items in stock, and keep track of it all. It seemed like it could be pretty easy to keep track of once the system was implemented, when I started out and was working by myself. And I have nearly every item listed now, although I recently found a box of MC fittings that has never been input into the list.

But I find keeping track of inventory is harder once I hire others to help with the work. Because others don't care as much as I do about keeping it all straight. I lose money every time they forget to list some material that they used on a job.
