So I was on a job and a couple a mugs stop by - see !
"Need a drywaller?"
"Well I got one."
"Yeah but we're cheaper!"
"Ok, ok so give me a bid."
This was a good size house - almost 5500 square feet - and we had a bid for almost $30 grand.
Well the mugs came up with a bid for $18,000 and it was too cheap to pass up. They had all the necessary insurance, licenses etc. tho nary a compadre uttered a word of ingles!
They seemed to start off ok but suddenly disappeared!
Phoning the mugs, I heard, "Hello, the voice mail box you have reached is full and can not accept messages - please try again."
Eventually we got the job done, but the delay took its toll. A month delay worked out to be worth about $12,500 in interest on the construction loan.
Moral of the story:
Low price isn't - necessarily !
