Hello thank you for listening.sorry if so long...I ve been working on my own cleaning business for 2 years now, and its finally doing good, it has taken time, but its working out well.. I have 5 regulars, and a new one. My question is this..I don't charge by the hour, if I did I feel 20 an hour would be about the pay. I charge by the house and I know I am cheap...I would rather keep a regular client than loose one..so most of the houses I charge flat 75.00 and that works so far...but this new house is a 2 story 4,336 square foot home, the upstairs is 3 bedrooms all carpet, 2 bath upstairs and a huge play room, I cleaned her entire house 1 day took me 5 hours, I charged her 100 dollars, she didn't seem happy I thought 100 was cheap and I should have charged more..she wants me twice a month, so today when I came she said how about you just do the upstairs today, so I did, the kids toys all over the floor got picked up and put away by me, I also made 1 bed, dusted from roof down to blinds. I said since your house is so big, why don't I one week do upstairs only and then the following week do the downstairs? when I was done upstarts she asked me to do her windows inside and out, so I did..and then she said here is 40.00 for today took me about 3 hours, come to find out we were in high school together, so I said we need more time to figure out a fare rate we both feel good with..so not next week but the following I plan to go do her downstairs..it has a huge kitchen all big tiles, breakfast nook, big dining room , living room all tile..then a laundry room, tiled and a bathroom and tub they keep puppy in, and there master bedroom and bathroom had a huge double tiled shower all glass..and a sunken tub kids use most,and double vanity sinks..then a wooden floor toddler bed and room area..so that is the house..its huge, and she has kids so its messy and 3 indoor outdoor dogs..lots of hair and finger prints to get up...she asked me if I charged by the hour or if I charged by the sq footage or what? I said I charge by the job and after I finish I usually know...how much..everyone wants something cheap and reasonable..so how should I charge this woman?? she is nice and helps while I'm there, also cleaning along with me..she had a lady do her place that drifted off, she said sometimes she would ask for special stuff like clean out fridge or something like that. I am willing to work with her...but I must figure out my pricing for people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! her house is huge and is time con consuming..so I would like to type up a special plan for her house..with more exact info..

for example I had one lady referred to me a lake house I cleaned for her twice she loved it I charged her 75.00 as well the last time she asked if I could change the beds..after I did 3 sets of bunk beds almost fell a few times and bumped My head..I wrote her a nice note saying, each set of bunk beds will be an additional charge of 5.00 per bed..that was my last summer cleaning, I'm sure when they use lake house again this summer she will call me..

so I know there has to be certain circumstances for each person..I am also a single mom raising my son and I work hard labor and deserve to be paid decent!! so thanks so much your opinion really matters to me..Sunni In Texas

For my bathroom, I want to build my own custom shower pan + glass enclosure.

I've done tiling, but I have few ideas on where to start.

I have some instructions on how to do the custom shower pan, but none about the glass enclosure. Where should I go for help?
Clarification: I've done tiling projects in the past, but need help in starting a project like this. Especially with the glass enclosure.
