What a set of hips.

Randy you give the impression of being an honest contractor. Not to toot my own horn, but there were only a few of those out there in the competitors that I frequently encountered. The almighty dollar was there aim for the least amount of work. To this day I remember sitting with a gentleman that wanted to go into the business himself and asked for my business plan since I was respected and didn't need to advertise.
When we talked about my rates he laughed that there is no way he could work so cheaply. He believed in high bids and if he got the job that was good, if he didn't he would wait it out for the next one. Never heard from him again and never bid against him either.

My missus slices ripe but firm tomatoes, dips them in egg, flour, salt & pepper, then fries them in bacon grease. Simple but tasty. And you could add your own preferred seasonings, use olive oil, Crisco or butter, even mash a few slices with a little milk or tomato juice for a tomato gravy.

Yeah, Lawrence has had more than it’s share of “bad” contractors for sure. For about the last 25 years I carried pages of past customers/jobs with me as references to show prospective customers. Most all would know at least a few on the list. Also being honest = repeat business.

Couldn't help it had to show a little of the good life and what we eat. Pheasant and rice soup and of course a plate of walleye.

Pretty much that's how it went except for the consistent price. On my larger projects I would give customers a range estimate. Materials were always close to the bid but working with home owners willing to do certain task like needing that extra hand for an hour or so and cleaning up would bring down the final amount.
