    I see it a lot on quotes I do the first and only question they ask immediately is can you do it cheaper? Why yes sir I always pad my numbers to not be competitive and I don’t mind working at a loss so why do t I do this 2 day job for $100. Oh and of course I run a ramshackle company that will...
