Dnk... I'm sure I didn't understand what you were talking about before. I thought that you ment flat rate from a price book as opposed to hourly rates. What you are talking about sounds more like some sort of con game. It sould be illegal and if it's not I'm sure that a talk with a local inspector would make sure they don't pass too many inspections. The poeple that I suggested getting money from don't need to sign over a mortgage to get work done. They live in multimillion dollar homes and have servants. I don't see any reason to help the rich get any richer. My childhood hero was Robin Hood and I haven't changed much in my thinking. I don't find many homes that need a service upgrade unless they have a big addition or a large hot tub and not many poor people go in for that sort of thing. The last old granny lady I worked for used to own an insurance company and lives in an exclusive neighborhood across from the country club. This is why you can't go around quoting prices on the net. We are talking about completely different worlds. If I see anyone scamming the poor I would at least report them . You don't scam the rich, you just charge them according to the effort it will take to get the job done. If anyone wishes to do a service upgrade on the mansion for $1500.00 they can have it. Many of the upper class spend that and more on a night out.
