That might be construed as being too offensive or simply not PC...so how about this one:

My fault. Don't know what I was thinking when I said that it could be more than one job:

"IT WILL ONLY BE ONE JOB - I PLAN TO BUILD THIS HOUSE AND GET OUT OF THIS GAME ALTOGETHER. NO CHANCE IN HECK I'LL EVER REFER WORK YOU'RE WAY OR USE YOUR SERVICES ON FUTURE JOBS, NO MATTER HOW WELL YOU PERFORM"


I'll work on my advertising skills, Moe

Awww...come on MHM.....have a little fun?

All work and no play makes MHM go haywire, right?

Honestly, I would LOVE to come on down and give you hand...I have family in Pensacola so the commute would a lot shorter than from NJ everyday where it's a balmy 34° and dropping (brrrr....)....the larger problem is I am not licensed in Fla as an EC...BUT...I have a good friend in the Orlando/Kissimee (sp?) area who is.....but, he hasn't done any contracting in years (he works maint. at Disney or MGM or someplace) and no interest in doing ANYTHING after work but riding his hogs (the harley and the old lady ).


I'm sure someone from that area will PM you ...until, enjoy the humor ~ No Charge!

no worries, my good man. You and Cole got me on that one. I hate it when I hear the same thing I was saying. Didn't mean it to come out like that - gots to laugh at myself

keep 'em coming!

I just thought it would not be cool to NOT put out my feelers here on ContractorTalk - never know who I'll meet!

Steve,
I'll keep your #, but I'm doing all the ext/int trim myself. One of the few things I know how to do!

I heard things have gotten slow slow in Jax - how's it for you?

Steve,
My buddy owns a seamless gutter company in Mandarin and he's been dead in the water for months now. His guys are working 1/2 days and taking off Friday's, and he pays them salary!

2 years ago, he was billing $22K/week
