never after owning a business for years always went with quality over cost and it served me well……..not having to replace item in a few years and enjoying whatever it was

Home repairs. There seems to be a correlation between cost and quality of work. After several bad experiences years ago with bargain “handyman” repairs, I decided to go with bonded, insured companies that cost more and guarantee their work.

When deigning the house addition 10 years ago I decided to put a crawl space under the addition instead of a room to keep from stretching beyond our comfort zone of expenses. Instead, now in retirement I have to convince spouse to to clear out a room piled high with stuff accumulated over 35 years to allow space for for my hobby.

We paid $100 for our court wedding. We will celebrate our 21st anniversary tomorrow. No regrets.
