I'm beat after 2 days of "supervising" my friends from Preferred Glass. They did 13 in two days and I had exactly 13 more from people who asked to get in on the deal after we shut it off. We had several people take some of the removed ones that were not broken. What they wanted with removed fogged windshields I'm not sure but it saved us from having to haul them to the dumpster.
The first day these guys put in 11 hours non stop. It took just under 1.5 hours per windshield which matched their estimate. They have done dozens of these in the past years for GMCers and when we set this up 1.5 hours was the owner's estimate. I thought he was being too conservative with his estimate, but he was correct. I did not factor in all of the time for the extra sealing and clean up that they do. Also I did not factor the extra time involved when doing them outside of their shop where they normal do GMC installations.
Oh well, that takes care of that and now I can enjoy the rest of the Convention bugging, Dan, Jim K, and others.
Maybe we will do it again next year at Amana Colonies. The logistics will be worse since we are not near a glass warehouse there.
