Looking for someone who has experience in putting down tile and grout...

Its a small area and can pay up to $12 an hour for the installation..

I have all of the materials so all you would need is the simple tools to
install the tile (only 4 of them would need to be cut to fill in the last
row.

Question is...... Did you respond to it and let them know just how much of an idiot they are?

HO's will never figure it out if we don't explain it to them.

No big deal, job is started and will be complete tomorrow... Now you
can't even buy your double cheeseburger... Sorry.
The contractor that I hired explained this to me (forgive me for not
knowing how long it would take for the job) and he got a fair price PLUS
other work since he wasn't a prick about it...
Have a nice day.

For 25.00 I wouldn't even roll out of bed, and for a REMODELING CONTRACTOR to be proud of finding someone for that kind of money, obviously, the guy's got to be hard up against it right now. Mister, you're some piece of work. That's okay. What goes around comes around.

Hell I paid more than that to the last meth headed Jack Daniels sucking weed smoking helper I had. I didn't know there were still any self-respecting hacks around that would work for only $12 hour.
