Morning started off great. Scheduled an $800 house wash with a guy who “hired” another company last year from HomeAdvisor and that company never showed up. He gave me a book after chatting about his ridiculously huge collection of biographies. Hero of the Empire about Churchill.
I’m skipping to my truck happier than a Wisconsinite on $1 brat night when I get a call to go to the river to bid another parking garage. Get there, two levels 75 spaces each, not huge… maintenance guy says painters are gonna do it for $1700. I clutched my chest and fell to one knee…
I told him to ask them what their plan is for the storm drains and oily, dirty water that close to the river. Didn’t even get his email.
I missed two calls. Two people in a small town of a couple hundred had a cornstarch silo overflow on a windy wet day and ALL the houses have gobs of what amounts to wall paper glue. They have a meeting at 11:00 with the company to talk about reparations.
2 hours away… could turn into multiple homes WITH roofs and lots of hot water. Sounds like a revenue monster… BUT it also sounds like a tremendous pain in my eye.
Anyone ever send a house wash/roof wash estimate for $3000 to homeowners, site unseen, and hope you don’t get it?
I’m super lucky and get roped into super weird stuff… but a whole town? Who wants to travel?
