Sounds thoroughly reasonable to me.  Apparently some here think that is poor practice.

What a decidedly simplistic view of what obviously seems to be exactly what I laid out above.  My guess is that McCoy is successful due to

You'll also find that no one has stated that it WOULDN'T be a good practice, that McCoy has stated that his customers know up front WHY and WHAT he would be charging them, and how his business practices work.

All that before he'd ever step foot on their property, and you're simply attempting to equate McCoy's seemingly decent business practices with those of someone you yourself find to be a dick.

You know perfectly well that what McCoy described is nowhere NEAR what was described by the dick, and to pretend as if it is an equivalent is ridiculous

When you total a car, I think you have to give up the title to the Insurance company.

If your house burns down to the ground, I'm not sure if you have to give up the property or not. I believe you do, but it should be part of the contract.

It took 3 freaking months to build a deck?  That's a 2 day - 4 cases of beer - kinda project, even if there is fancy materials.


ChadTower:


The car doesn't have a separate title to it the way a property and house do.  You can own a house without owning the lot and vice versa.

Besides, you don't get compensated for the value of the house.  You get compensated for the cost of rebuilding an equivalent house.
