I’m getting frustrated with the concrete situation. One of the guys that came never called me back with a quote so I’m going to assume that he can’t or doesn’t want to do the job. The last thing that I want to do is chase after somebody, especially in such an important situation as this. The other guy who came that day game me a prrice which I really didn’t even think about. I figured that once I got a few bids in the appropriate price would become apparent by comparing and finding the middle ground. The guy called me the next day and left a message saying that he can do the job cheaper and that I should call him back. It seems like he (and a lot of other guys) just make up prices in their head. They act like they are making calculations for materials, length, width, time but they don’t hand me an itemized bill, just a piece of paper with a price. I think he probably quoted me high and started thinking about the other guy charging me less and got worried that he wouldn’t get the job. So as it stands I only have one bid. Another company was supposed to come and they never did. Today another one stopped by and I am waiting on an estimate from them.. They were talking about the possibiblity of a skirt around the house, which I have read about, but they want to talk to some people and figure out what would be best “so they won’t have to come back for 10 years” Hopefully I will hear from them. But still only one bid presently. The worst thing is the tape is starting to fall off the house. I know I sung its praises in the last post but it seems that it only stuck before because there was paint on the house and that was something for it to stick to. Now that is bare concrete it won’t stick…. it’s raining as I speak
In other news I took a long trip with my friends to New Jersey and purchased the most sought after Hip-Hop sampler/ drum machine…. more on that later.
