I remember looking into it a few years ago and they covered Denver, but not Fort Collins. <br /><br />Mary - I'll be Franny was soaking up all that kid love - how sweet. If you got the DNA stuff back - start that betting pool! For the rest of you, Franny's picture is up as one of the followers of my blog (under my brother's name). <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts, all.LindaCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316183776592482615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559844327227210064.post-27522384305314847742010-03-17T11:12:57.221-06:002010-03-17T11:12:57.221-06:00Yeah, our foreman took off Friday as his roof was ...Yeah, our foreman took off Friday as his roof was leaking BIG TIME and the guy was supposed to be there first thing in the a.m. to look it over and give him a quote. No Show..Later in the afternoon he called his nephew to ask something else and asked him the name of the guy he sometimes does backhoe work for. The nephew says I'll call him. 15 minutes later, the guy calls- says he'd stop on his way by, but he doesn't have a ladder on his truck, so he could stop later or 1st thing in the morning. Buz says there's a ladder up to the roof right now. The guy's there within 1/2 hour, inspects the job, quotes it. Says he will talk to the other job he hasn't ripped out yet, since this roof is leaking bad. The shingles arrived yesterday and they'd be there at 7:30 this morning to start. 3-4 days and it'll be done. Just like the old days.Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189370281390432351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559844327227210064.post-15149353320272147842010-03-17T10:47:54.654-06:002010-03-17T10:47:54.654-06:00Ya know, the situation you have just described is ...Ya know, the situation you have just described is all too frequent a happening these days. I don't care whether the person is too busy or if he is "good," he doesn't care enough about getting your business . . . nor does he deserve it. You are right to go elsewhere.<br /><br />P.S. I personally feel that when someone neglects simple responsibility BEFORE the actual job, I'm suspicious as to what he will neglect while DOING the job.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559844327227210064.post-60935589142475992482010-03-17T10:29:38.068-06:002010-03-17T10:29:38.068-06:00Do you guys have Angie's List in Fort Collins?...Do you guys have Angie's List in Fort Collins? We pretty much use them exclusively, as experiences like the ones you've had get reported quickly to the website. <br /><br />BTY,I've got Franny at work with me today. She went to service (resident's care home) and the kids have been fawning over her like crazy. She's in doggie heaven.<br /><br />Spring break on Friday.

He's friendly enough, but I've gotten no quotes. The problem is that the good people are the busy ones. They don't often realize that managing where their next job is coming from is as important, if not more so.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.com
