I hate decks!

Question

It's the same thing every year - you're hungry for deck work - you want the $1,500 jobs, the $2,500 jobs, the $3,500 jobs. And then you actually get a big deck job - and your arms about to collapse after stripping deck boards for hours - and then you look back at the 'miles' of balusters that all need to be sanded because they've furred like mad - and to boot there is a second floor balcony over the deck that you 'threw' into the quote, which will be 'interesting' to say the least. And then I ask myself - why do I like doing this?

A customer's gratitude is shown in full when he hands you a check. That makes me feel pretty good. :D

Hmmm.... I do not know. Seems the older one gets, the less importance just money has to do with peace and satisfaction in life. Came across an ancient quote the other day:

It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do,

that makes life blessed.

-- Goethe

Rick,

I like that quote!

Beth

Good morning Beth,

I collect interesting quotes as I come across them and put 'em in a text file on my server. A recent favorite...

Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.

-- Alexandre Dumas

How many times could you have used that in a rejoinder post on TGS? Hah!
