I will be the voice of reason here.

If the op flies down to DC i will show him my estimating labor and material cost.

After that I can take him to lunch my treat of course. We can go to my local lumber yards and he can talk to my reps and have them explain their material pricing to him.

We can leave from their and visit some of my jobs and talk to my guys, find out how much they get paid,benefits and production times.

After the site visit we can go back to the office add up everything he learned then I can show him I add my overhead and profit to the equation.

By then the day will be done so we can go back to my house where dinner will be prepared. Feast for a king no less.

After he has rested well I can drive him to the airport in the afternoon and put him on the plane

Do you think that would be ok and civil enough?? Guys if I missed anything that might help the op let me know

Pathetic! Still amusing, but absolutely pathetic.......

Hi mac, some of my customers have monitor this and other deck site like this. If any of your future clients ever view any of your quotes lets just say this one, your company just may not be part of there future.
1. You post here anonymously. How would your customers know what you wrote?

2. In your profile, under Services Offered, you say "Any deck for less." You know what I call that tagline? "Fu^kin' lowballer"
So your opinion about me and how I run my business means nothing to me.

3. If people are looking here at my posts, they've got about an 80% chance of seeing a helpful, informative post. The other 20% are because I get fed up w/ idiots clogging up the board. This is where I come to hang out w/ other professionals. There's a lot of them on this site - people I respect, whose opinions I listen to, whose experience I learn from.
And then there's people like you, whose only contribution seems to be "Naughty Pattie." Still haven't figured that one out...

4. I appreciate your concern for my business and my potential clients, however, I guess I can always just blow them away w/ my proper use of spelling, punctuation and grammar. I've actually never given a bid and been told "You use punctuation symbols in your cuss words on ct and we find that highly offensive. We're not going to give you the project."
Hell, my wife belongs to a stripper forum and they get to use real cuss words! I'm so jealous.

AND we probably shouldn't even discuss the fact that your on opposite sides of the county:laughing::laughing:

Actually, my first couple of sentences were directed at Stanislaw for gettin' in our faces for NOT giving you the "secret numbers" all noobs think we have.

I mean really, when it comes to intelligence being demonstrated, you think posting a general, all-purpose, vague as hell question about pricing qualifies you to give an opinion about the intelligence of others on this site? Funny thing is, your question is even more pathetic 'cause you're just asking about materials prices, not labor. You claim to have built a "lot of decks," yet you are unable to build a mat. list and take it to a lumberyard and get a quote for it.

And no, this hasn't been a particularly "enlightening" thread...although, I'm getting truly confused as to why TDG keeps offering up his girlfriend for sexual favors. Maybe he just likes to be cuck'd. who knows?

Mac
Don't bring my name into your crap fight.
Put your big boy pants on and defend yourself.

big boy pants

Hey Mike, I was born & raised in New York, but I never heard the phrase "big boy pants" until I moved down south, for the longest time I thought it was a "suhthun thang" (although, around here they say "britches" instead of pants)..........

Stanislaw, after reading through your other posts in various threads, I realize you have nothing to offer this board. Your responses to me on this thread are incoherent. Welcome to my ignore list.

Can we just let this thread die already?

mac, after your name calling and the use of obscenity in your messages to describe some fellow members here. You think my posts are worthless?
Mac you have not impressed me, with posts like this " Originally Posted by

STOP THIS CHILDISH BEHIEVER.
He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.
 
........STOP THIS CHILDISH BEHIEVER.
And you think you are making a good impression? :laughing:

Read Mac's threads and learn.
He has the creds here.
He's already made an impression,
with demonstrated knowledge, craftsmanship,
and a willingness to help those who are
capable of being helped.
Thus far, you aren't stacking up.
