I'm a foreigner investing in Atlanta trying to handle everything remotely so I realize I WON'T be getting the best price on rehab quotes I'm merely trying to ensure I'm not paying a ridiculous 50% mark up or anything.

Mark Ferguson - Incredible!

I guess I'll have to mark the studs beforehand :) Were you able to kick any doors off the hinges?

Great theme Mark, they don't outlaw asprin that killed my aunt Ellie, them asprin companies pay those politicians you know, but they outlaw.... :) Pat, not sure I can relate to that one, but it's a funny story, I'll work off that thought...And yes, global warming will be on the list, most around here are skeptical so it's a good one to play with thier minds ...

Thanks Mark...!
