For a swimming pool you would probably want a 55 gallon drum. 

Also trying to drum up fake competition would back fire on me as I typically tell them to sell it to one of them as they will likely pay more.2) Lying and using a contractor is wasting the contractors time.

You beat that wonderful cat urine drum until it ignites into a huge discount fire.

I'm just saying the constant beat of the drum claiming "Everyone is leaving NY!"

@Ellie Narie - I’m just going to bang this drum one more time.

SFH in a great area close to Fort Drum, NY How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I feel like you beat that drum on every post without realizing (or disregarding) that there is more than one way to increase profits.

#1 tip is *drum roll* : Don't do it!

You don't want a guy running around having to drum up business because his crew is hungry, when you have only a single project going.
