The BK system has a phone number where you can call and inquire via touch-tone regarding up to either 3 or 5 names or cases; I forget the exact count.

Hey count me in.

I was in the ag business for more years than you can count and used every spray known to man.

The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

I am happy to know that since every dollar count now.

If the view that we see when clicking on the post count is what appeared under My Discussions, that would awesome!

I put a new boiler, basement insulation and TONS of other upgrades (electrical and any safety upgrades count) to the tune of 13k and got an 8k check back.) -- This 4 unit MIGHT be a good candidate but BOY, we'd be talking 3 floors of replacing radiators with baseboard.

Dont count on the people standing up for their rights.

Is it just me or is the membership on this site accelerating based on the number of people registered? Any idea what is driving this if it is indeed the case?

I think it's a couple of issues here.You have to define a contractor.Even if a person is a certified contractor you have to ask them the tough questions.Just because they build decks all day does not mean they know how to do a kitchen or a basement or a bathroom for example.Owners see them do really well for a fair price at one thing and then keep adding on duties so they don't have to use multiple contractors.That's when the problem can start.If someone knows how to do something they will bang it out.If they have no clue,partially know etc. they will make tons of mistakes and take extra time and may or may not eventually get it correct and make little to no profit.I can understand why a contractor would not want to come back to a situation like that.There is a difference between a handyman for re-turning a rental and doing rehab on a flip house for resale.I wouldn't count the total amount of work to the contractor as such a great thing.The contractor might have 6,000 of work but how much profit do they make??
