I just read the whole thread on ( Employed by Orange or Blue ) an It's sad to here so many are losing it or out of work but maybe there is a way out.
This has happen to me many times in the past , a home owner calling for pricing on rewire - service up grades - garage or room additions - lighting or what ever, and when they would read the bid estimate some would say I would love for you to do the job for us but we had no idea it would cost this much an most had 2-3 estimates.
This is what happened I had given an estimate of around 1800.00 to an elderly man on limited Income and a few day's had gone by and he called me saying that he would like us to do this work but he did not have the complete funds to pay all at once and asked if he could do a payment plan , I felt bad for this man do to his problem of age an limited income so I said by all means yes we can work this out.
I met with him that afternoon he accepted 1/3 rd down an the balance in 4 equal payments he was tickled pink an told his neighbors an friends what a wonderful EC he had met and what I did for him and we did get quite a few more calls from people that he told this to.
It might be tough to do at first but the steady monthly checks that come in make it all worth wild an you are helping people with little or not much money to work with.
Again just putting Ideas out there , try it.
