Neighborly Love--Part II

Sure enough, my gutters were clean when I got home tonight.  I decided to walk over to the neighbor's house and thank him for his work.  He asked how much the estimate was for to replace the rear gutters and when I told him, he said, "I bet I could probably replace at least the wood for you, if not the guttering."  WHAT!  He said he is going to check with his dad (who taught him guttering years ago) and see what kind of estimate he could come up with.  That would be awesome!  If his estimate is accurate, it will cost me less than 1/2 of what this guy is charging.  This guy is charging me an arm and a leg because I compared it to another quote I got and it was substantially less.  Unfortunately I never could get the first guy on the phone again.  I left message after message and no one ever called.  Evidently that is a common complaint in this town--the roofing and guttering people just never call you back. 

I'm going to say it one more time--I love my neighbors and my neighborhood!
