    I would do, but with gas at $3.19/gallon right now, and I serve all of Northern Virginia, and some areas can take 1 hour or little over to get to, it isn't worth it for me to drive there with a 50/50 chance of them saying yes.

    Normally, they will send me pictures, etc but sometimes they stick to their guns about just giving me a general description.

    Yesterday, was the first time I have had a client try and negotiate me down on price as I am in the middle of loading. I told my wife, that it took all my will power not to tell the lady off and just leave.

    I feel good about doing the job I said I would do, and taking the money I was promised, but I told my wife, never again. I rather loose a few bucks before doing any work, then doing the work for peanuts.

    Live and learn.

    I have a few of those here. Business Supply Companies that is. I generally use Staples for things, but I dont believe I have seen contracts there as of yet.

    Generally they have invoice, receipts, employment, and a few other stuff.

    Just trying to come up with a way to have something on paper or them doing it via my website, so if it came to court or the police, I have more than a verbal thing.

    Although, I think in the long run, all it will come to is simply arriving, and if it is more, simply say that, and either have them agree, or disagree.
