Should just say *** it and drink Coca Cola Classic. Especially if you're mixing it with anything.

The contractor has quoted us what appears to be relatively high.

***IS EXPENSIVE GOD DAMN IT!!! IT DOESN'T BUILD ITSELF!!!

ahem...

excuse me, sorry about that... knowing too much about the construction industry, get three bids & take the middle one.

hell ya, you're closer to being a big-shot than me, need a security guy?
In that case, let me ask you a question. Does running 4 power poles w/ data lines & receptacles, installing light fixtures (not purchasing, just installing), installing new exit signs w/ emergency lighting, and blanking off unused boxes sound like $17,000 worth of work?

I honestly don't know, but sounded high to me.

Security? Maybe eventually. I'd have to see how everything is going first.
As Mosin said, look at multiple quotes.
If you aren't comfortable on how it costs, ask them to break it down for you.

But generally speaking there are so many people willing to take advantage of someone that I'm almost to the point of rejecting the first bid someone gives, and tell them they need to do better than that.

A lot more problems stem from people rejecting "reasonable" prices and finding someone to do it on the cheap. I'd frequently get people storming out of the shop saying we were trying to take advantage of them and coming back a few months later when whoever's brother-in-law or neighborhood garage screwed up or caused a bigger issue by trying to skip steps.

Itemized quotes should be the standard, if you just get a number, I'd think twice about using them. A good contractor should also give you itemized adjustments to a bid if additional costs occur.

Today was a good day. Had to buy a new 3TB hard drive, as mine survived multiple plane trips only to start dying yesterday watching reruns of Two and A Half Men. Speedfan read an 80 for lifespan where it should be between 90-100. Paid off a Serbian mobster the money I owed him for like 3 weeks. Good day, y'all.

If you contract for work, it's reasonable for the company to request justification for what you're reporting. When I worked for Nissan, we had to attribute every clocked hour to a particular project. At VW, we even punched a realtime clock for each job code, including subcodes. So, if you had a repair that had several steps without a global job code, you were back and forth to the clock for every step, even though you didn't get paid actual time, you had to prove that you had actually spent the time doing it. I was a real struggle for guys like me that had 2 stalls and would frequently have multiple jobs in process at once.

see... automotive companies are the worst...

I always fight back because what we do is not just punching a clock... and they want the work guaranteed that means the possibility of call backs and they want you to fit all the work into time windows during shutdowns and they want the total up front before you ever see itand they want two union goons breathing down your neck the whole time and you have to comply to all their rules for PPE and training and insurance and CONJUNCTIONS COST EXTRA!

Never heard of this. Draylo puts up with me randomly asking him for help, A+ in my book.

Because he asks for it a lot of the time by getting all bent out of shape when anyone says anything negative about FFXI.

Anon: "random augments can be annoying"

Draylo: "Go play FFXIV, loser"
