I had an estimator come out to give me a quote for panama shutters in my home. He seemed very put out at having to drive to the middle of nowhere. I get it.
"Hang a left at the big oak, drive 1/4 mile to the Y in the road and bear left again, at the top of the road at the bush with three leaves, hang a sharp right and continue up for another 1/4 of a mile to three gates. I'm the middle one. Continue on up past the gate with SECRET CODE and when you come to two large pine trees drive up the right hand driveway."
I found out that he was on contract with Home Depot and worked for slightly less than he would if he worked direct (SOUND FAMILIAR), and I began thinking, get three bids and find out which one is best.
This is the way of the world, I think. |
