I'd like your opinions on something...
I had a guy come out yesterday to give me an estimate on taking down the holly tree and a pecan tree.
We also discussed cleaning up other small stuff like privet and red buds.
To make a long story short (because I tried to post the detailed version 10 minutes ago and it disappeared! ), he called me back this morning and asked if I "wanted to discuss business." I said sure, but told him the cost for taking down the trees isn't in my budget at this time (he had said doing the other work was contingent on him taking down the trees.)
We were back an forth about what was included in the price and at one point I told him I would make a detailed list so I know what work will be done for what price.
he says to me, "You're a good looking woman. I want to help you out. I can do "a lot" of it for $300 to $400."
I had to bite my tongue and not say, "Thank god I'm not butt-ugly, or you'd rob me blind?"
Then he says, "Don't wear your boxer shorts when we come out, or we won't get any work done."
WTF?
I know I look good for my age, but I also know I'm not what I used to be.
I am also a professional and was dressed for work when he was here.
He said he would call me back today around noon to set up a time to come out.
I'm thinking no friggin way.
What should I say to this guy when he calls back?
Btw, there aren't a lot of other options around here... which is why I'm considering buying a chain saw.
Well, almost anyway.
