Your first week on Sawhorse

Do not import ten years of history on day one. Start with the jobs you have open right now — usually somewhere between fifteen and forty — and let the archive stay where it is.

Day one: add your team and your service items. Service items are the things you sell repeatedly with a known price, and getting them right now saves you typing them for the next five years.

Day two to four: run every new job through Sawhorse, and keep doing whatever you did before in parallel. Yes, this is doing it twice. It is four days.

Day five: stop doing it the old way. The most common failure we see is a contractor who runs both systems for three months and never fully switches.
