I scheduled it in June.... when I called to set it up I tried to get a little info. w/o being obvious. I asked a few questions about the job ... how long it would take, and did I need to be here(as if I wouldn't), if we needed to meet before hand to choose a color so it could be ordered and here on schedule. Through the course of the maybe 15 min. call I did find out that he has kids... don't know how many or how old. That he is a member of a gym and that he doesn't have any use for drugs. That last bit came about in a pretty humerous way. I had asked him if he was feeling better since the few days before when he was giving me the bid he mentioned he'd had that kidney stone problem ... he said yeah that was rough, that he'd heard that calcium was a problem but that he'd not realized that protein could do the same thing. Well, he was outside during this conversation and the wind was blowing causing some problems with my ability to hear him clearly.... and I said, "what did you say? Cocaine?" (What a dork!) he laughed and said no no no.... protein... he'd begun adding it to his diet since joining a gym with some friends. That he had no use for drugs and had just had to fire one of his guys cause of drinking, hated to but there was no room for that kind of thing with his employees. I felt like a total goob!
He did say that I could call anytime if I had questions or needed help with anything else( he is a contactor-home builder-not just a roofer.... heck, I don't know what you call them).... sheesh, if he only knew what kind of help was running through my head...
