something for nothing

i do work that is funded by the city. usually the homeowner doesnt have to pay anything. sometimes they pay a portion on a low interest loan from the state or city. last summer this lady had the nerve to ask if i would repair her garage and just hide it>>>

He is 87 now and still with us. He also always said, "it is a long road without a turn in it." I believe we are fast coming up on a sharp turn in the economic road.

It is interesting to me in that I really didn't think too much about what dad used>>>

That was a great line Old School. ;)>>>

I'd be turning the homeowner and the contractor in. Doubt it does any good, though.>>>

I've got a pile of rocks too. I cannot recall ever cheating an insurance company out of a dime. Been rather disappointed in some of the people that have asked though.>>>

well, i was trying to show a couple of pictures but i can never seem to post a pic in any forum. too many pixels??? but the lady's husband had cut a piece of the back wall out so he could fit his caddy in there. the rafters were gone. the roof decking>>>

So I assume all that would condemn this practice have never done some extra work for someone because their insurance company was paying for it? Let those people throw the first stone.

Heh, heh, I've got a pile of rocks right here.>>>

Gus, I am not judging anyone. There is plenty of blame and sin to go around. We are all guilty. It is just to what degree. I do think it is interesting to see how people react when they don't know someone is watching though.>>>

Oh the pure and sinless public!>>>

I suppose it is your choice whether you want to "hide" anything in the bid usn't it? My father always told me that it is what you do when no one is watching that makes a difference in your character. I think he was right!>>>

Turn her in.>>>
