Y'all remember that $1700 dollar


Aug 21, 2019, 12:09 PM

painting quote? I just got one back that was only $700. This seems odd.

Does the $700 quote guy have a suburban with a headlight out?

Also, is each quote itemized?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Only the lowest quote is itemized.


Aug 21, 2019, 12:18 PM

Low man drives a standard looking Chevy WT. High man drives a 90s era van and smokes pall malls.

There is a 3rd quote, but it is a young fella working for his aunt and uncle. They arrived in a new Tahoe, were thus disqualified.

So it really just comes down to which one do you think is


Aug 21, 2019, 12:23 PM

least likely to leave a window unlocked and come back to murder you and Sharkgirl in your sleep?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They'll have to break a window because they will not be in


Aug 21, 2019, 12:25 PM

the house.

my guy?***


Aug 21, 2019, 12:19 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

...he was the low-quote (of 2...maybe 3 total)***


Aug 21, 2019, 12:20 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've not called your guy yet.


Aug 21, 2019, 12:21 PM [ in reply to my guy?*** ]

All of these cats came to me via home adviser.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Good because it would be unjoungey of you to take


Aug 21, 2019, 12:43 PM

the advice of another jounger after you've requested it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I fully intended to call today, but I really do hate making


Aug 21, 2019, 12:46 PM

phone calls.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And now I have called him because I felt bad.***


Aug 21, 2019, 12:55 PM



badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I didn't tell him you'd be calling or anything


Aug 21, 2019, 1:24 PM

no reason to feel bad





































other than that I'd provided a reasonable recommendation when asked that went otherwise ignored like McLovin hinted at.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Oh, I opened that Tmail right away.


Aug 21, 2019, 1:27 PM

Ignored and not followed up on are two very different things. Oh yeah, the guy that helped with my AC. If you ever do need something I'll give you his info. He may or may not be able to help as this is a side gig. I figured y'all could work that out if the time came.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I took your advice and called your landscaping friend that


Aug 21, 2019, 2:01 PM [ in reply to Good because it would be unjoungey of you to take ]

one time. He helped me justify buying a tractor, so that was really cool of you.

700 Dollar man is on the tail end of a bender

same paint? same prep specified?***

Re: same paint? same prep specified?***


Aug 21, 2019, 1:09 PM

High quote had Behr exterior top of the line semi gloss without the amount specified

Low quote is Sherwin Williams Superpaint Exterior Satin - 2 gallons

Low quote does not spell out scraping and sanding. THAT may be the big difference.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

ok, we're done here.


Aug 21, 2019, 1:33 PM

all that prep, including caulking and any surprise need to replace some rotten wood, is where all the work is. Slapping on paint is the easy part. I have no idear about the differences between those 2 paints, but if I wuz going to do a halfassed prep job, I'd spell out a really good paint, that would hang in there for a while even wit poor prep.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The prep is what I fear doing poorly if I tried this myself.


Aug 21, 2019, 2:40 PM

Also, I am good if I never run another bead of caulk in my life. My work in that department looks terrible.
