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.
