Well, I talked to one fella for an hour and decided:
1. I can do the jobs myself.
2. I can use his stuff.
3. My cost will be for materials and a lunch at Farmer Boys for every day I'm there.
4. He provides, suggestions, opinions, and instruction for nothing.
5. I havr to show up next Tuesday morning with my drawings and dimensions, my own safety glasses, and a pair of leather gloves.
Couldn't pass up the deal.
Thanks again.
