This is why professionals are starving in S.C. right now.

Call the guy and wise him up. You could start with the cost of backerboard. All backerboards are around .70 per square foot before taxes are paid.

You can tell the guy is poor, it's no damned wonder why.

 

[nEighter]

no doubt.

 

[rselectric1]

He needs a new keyboard. His shift key is broken. No caps, even where necessary.

 

[JumboJack]

0.40 a ft for trim?

 

[SelfContract]

Yes, I bet his wife begged him to do it.. because her baby's milk is running out.... :whistling

 

[Bud Cline]

Maybe we should all call him and invite him here!

Everybody hit the 'flag' button. Problem solved. He'll get the message!:hammer:

Just don't hit the wrong button and flag for "best of craigslist" :blink:

It's just soooooo frustrating trying to explain to people why this kind of ad is ridiculous.

I wouldn't want someone in my house working for peanuts. That tells me they're a dirt bag right from the start. Probably steel the TV when you aren't looking.

 

[nEighter]

yep. Or how we should justify our prices cause they think every penny of a job goes into our pockets.

 

[wizendwizard]

I wonder why he limits himself to only 2 design patterns? Straight and diamond.

 

[KennMacMoragh]

Maybe he posted it from his phone and couldn't figure out how to work the caps.

 

[angus242]

I wonder why he limits himself to only 2 design patterns? Straight and diamond.

That's how he keeps his costs down! :laughing:

 

[danphelan]

It'd be pretty easy to outbid him with all his pricing right there.

OUTBID??? Not only are this guy and I not on the same playing field, we aren't on the same planet.

These are his install prices. He should have a clause that states: Materials not included.

0.40 a ft for trim?

I just had a phone conversation with a guy that said I should install trim for $ .50 a ft.

The problem I have is he also works with another one of our CT friends.

Wow. Unbelievable. That's the best I can come up with.
