What A Goof.......


I received this RFQ from a rehab/roofing contractor this morning:




Chimney on old Chicago bungalow needs to be repaired. This is a rehab in 60634. Cash. Yes, that means I am not looking to spend a crazy amount of money especially given the economy and the amount of labor I have to choose from.

Interested?

Location is 6340 Berenice, Chicago. You do not need me there to reply with a bid or leave on in the mailbox, but I will most likely be there...

You should respond "It's cheap f**ks like you that are the reason the economy is in the toilet"....then forward his request to the IRS.

My response to the goof:


Given the fact that people are staying in their homes and having them fixed up instead of buying new, I, like many other contractors, can pick and choose the projects we want to pursue. Your project is way too small & unprofitable(I pay taxes, etc.,) for me to quote. Good luck with your project

From this angle the chimney looks good. Maybe there is a scam afoot.

If they know who sent it, guess who the IRS will investigate?
