Got a call from an older gentlemen the other day. Apparently he got my number from a past client who I did a lot of work for.
Anyhow, he wants two rooms of crown done. I set up a meeting, and take a look.
First room is 12x12, with 6 corners,5 inside one out.
Second room is 20x12 4 inside corners.
Both 10' ceilings, and an off white carpet through the whole house.
He will move furniture.
He tells me he already has the crown, and put one coat of paint on already.
We go out to the garage, and he has 3 1/2 crown, longest length-16'.
I tell him we will have to put a joint in the big room, he understands, and expected it.
him: "ok, how much " he asks.
me :$500.00
him:"ARE YOU CRAZY!"
me: no, are you?
him: " well you're way off base with that price, I will have to find someone who is hungry" (dontcha love this comment)
me: good luck
That, find someone who is hungry statement has popped up more than a few times this year, and it really bugs the crap out of me.
