Has No Life - Lives on TB
Okay, 2 1/2 years ago we had a load of wood, cement block, bags of concrete and so on go through the front of our hauling stuff trailer and right into the tail gate of our truck coming down a a hill. Store folks loaded it and hubby thought he had it tied down good enough. Yeah right. He couldn't load it himself as he had had prostrate cancer surgery 8 weeks before and wasn't suppose to lift heavy things.
The crunched tail gate had to be replaced, so we ordered one ourselves, cost us almost like $185.00. It is primered but not painted, last year as the money wasn't there to do so it didn't get painted. So he wanted to get it painted this year. So this last Fri. he asked an auto repair and paint place down in the valley, well a couple of them that we have and dang what is in that paint? Gold? Both places want around $725.00 to paint the thing and it would be white, plain old white. Forget it. I was flabbergasted and laughed when he told me and had the paper work in hand to prove it. I know labor, cost of paint and etc. but dang.
