Any ideas how much a job like this would cost? *Thanks.


The cost of the job is not the issue. Paying back a favor is. Drop
by his house with a couple of huge-ass steaks and a bottle of really
nice wine, and say you were going to cook them up but something came
up and they're going to go to waste, so if he could help you out and
take them off of your hands you'd greatly appreciate it.

Drop by his house with a couple of McD's cheeseburgers and a bottle of
Mad Dog 20/20. Next time he will tell you the cost and take a
check...that is if there is a next time.
