How often, when you visit the bathroom, are you imagining, planning or mentally measuring for décor changes, improvements and new fittings?

Cheap home furnishings and appliances?

I went to buy a new refrigerator & haggling over the price. I asked the salesman if he hired the cheapest contractor for storm repairs. He just stared at me with a blank look & said nothing. I told him I do home improvement and many homeowners are defrauding their insurance company with fake invoices & then getting cheap bids from illegals to do the work. I thanked him for his time and then turned and walked out.

Next I went to the furniture store and picked out $4000 of furniture and negotiated the price down to $3500. I told the salesman that I’ve been in business 30 years, but couldn’t afford it because my customers were selling out to the cheapest contractor.

Next I went to the office and cancelled three phone book ads. Next I cancelled two cell phones.
Next I cancelled an extra telephone landline that I felt I could do without.
Next I fired the girl that answers the phones and hired an answer service for $75 per month.

I told all the above people that I did not need them or their services anymore, because many homeowners were buying the cheapest junkiest deal and defrauding their insurance company.

Do you think that some of those people that I fired had hired the cheapest deal on their home projects too?
