I had one today that needed a quick turnaround on an easement for a shared driveway.?ÿ I priced it accordingly and they balked at the price.?ÿ They wanted to reduce cost by reducing the project scope to a point that I was uncomfortable with.?ÿ My response was that quality of work and scope are not negotiable but I would be happy to adjust the cost by letting them move to the back of the line.?ÿ For some reason they thought that was more unreasonable than my initial proposal.

I have several times told persons who demand I work for them - 'how about I pay you twenty dollars and just not take the job'.
My most common reason to turn down a client over the past 18 months is that we simply can not do the job within a time constraint that they would impose.?ÿ This generally applies to calls from those I do not know.?ÿ In another thread I listed several of my recent jobs.?ÿ Most of those are for prior clients, friends and neighbors.?ÿ It's called protecting the base.?ÿ A one and done client is rare for me.
Thats hilarious, that was one of my nicknames in high school???

That??s no way to treat a woman.
Sounds like quite the moneymaker if you have the time and energy.
