Contractor quotes have become a form of psychological warfare
Me: “It’s just one small project.”
Contractor: “Absolutely. That’ll be $27,400.”
Me: “Does the project come with a second house?”
Contractor: \[Laughs\] "Exactly... but that's what it'd cost"
Me: \[awkward laughs back\]
So this was an electrician who came over to rerun one wire, charged $1500, and said it was a military discount. I asked him about rewiring the whole house. It's a one-story, 1,700 sq. ft. house with a full basement, which makes it easy to access 60% of the house. Absolutely silly.
