LOL......
Yup........working for nothing. After all we just work with our hands not with our brains.........right?
I got something regarding working for nothing that might raise a few eye brows here.
Master bedroom in my home where my parents are. OK, ok.............yes I living with my parents.....I pay all the bills, repairs, improvements and so on. There is a story about this, but not necessary at this time.
Anyway. Master bedroom. Decided it needed to be painted and new carpet, but it is a very cold room. North side of the house. Took down old sheet rock on the outside walls, new insulation. Had a friend and neighbor do the rock and spackle.....6 long boards. I think 6. 1 wall 16' other 14'. Window each wall.
$950
Told the 2 brothers no wonder you never gave me a price ahead of time.........and I guess the numbers of 6-$700 this past December was just a tease.
Their reasoning was had I ripped out all 4 walls it would have been the same price. But just the 2 walls it was a small job......Well. I learned something from this.........will certainly apply it to my work.............most definitely will when I go to the one brothers house in Copiague to redo his front sod that he hired some shmuck localy that rototilled, never raked it out and came back 2 weeks later and installed the sod.
