Depending on what the details are about this particular contractor job or any contractor job for that matter going for a year is not exactly that bad for 100k. It all depends on you no one else can answer this for you. I mean he did ask for opinions and he is getting everyone’s opinion everyone is not gonna feel the same about it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/iraq/193078)._
