    Make you think you're getting it for free. Lots of scrappers call. Then they want paid (take bids). People up in northern Maine aren't really that dumb to be giving that much away.

    My day will come. LOL

    I had a lead on a gig like this awhile back. Never got a call back though. A job like this would be amazing!
