BTW the "tiki bar" was more complicated than you assume too. It involved 2.5 yards of concrete, lots of steel, pilings, walls, a roof, 220 sq/ft of Ipe deck, flagstone, electrical along with actually building the bar, cutting and polishing a granite top. Your fireplace was about as complicated as installing my pool heater and I did pay to have that gas hooked up but it was more than $10, a lot more. |

What $10 are you talking about if it was not having a licensed guy hooking up the gas? Admit it Harry, you used a silly statement to demonstrate you lack of interest in doing anything yourself and now you are stuck with it. Why not just say it was a figure of speech? |
