2006-05-19 13:59:21 I saw funny, witty, etc. Lauren at our regular E Street Cafe Roma yesterday morning. My enthusiasm for the Davis Wiki got him to agree to be on it. I'm glad to help bring his quality craftsman-workmanship to the attention of new people. —BruceHansen
2006-07-04 18:23:40 I visited the website, the projects look great but the website was hard to use. I will call about a small job I need done. —BarbaraClowers
2006-08-31 00:30:03 Lauren had a look at my fence the other day. I really liked that he thought my old tri-stakes were worth re-using but I was in the middle of a pool remodel and he didn't want anything to do with a drainage problem that involved the pool design. Neither do I but I'm stuck. He wanted to do his own design and use his own people. Ok, so I have a small job in my granny flat. That didn't excite him either because I already had a landscape designer. He did give me a name/number for a possible fence fixer. He said check out my website, make a list like it says and get back to me. So tonight, I thought I'd write that list and send him an email. Nope. Website says communication is essential but no email. Oh well. I'd like to work with him, but I'm not sure I can fire all my helpers first and then convince him I want him to be creative and I'll let him design stuff that "looks good on my website". I also like hourly billing and a fixed mark-up vs a bid with hidden costs and endless change orders. —BarbaraClowers

Well it is often better to get a fixed bid because the contractor usually does not go over the bid amount. The hidden costs are usually things like labor, small changes that people want to make but don't want to pay for. I have had hourly labor and it kind of sucks. You think that you are goning to pay a certian amount but then the charge is double. Usually people who want to have everything itemized nit pick at every expense. This can consume a lot of the contractors time. —khanh
