Hi all,
I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.
Everyone is welcome!
I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.
This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.
So, I hope it catches on !
So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

This is the old deck. I sat here for a long time trying to remember how to do this. I think i did it right? Edit: it is here. This is worth $25,000??
The truck's driver made her pull over into a parking lot and get out of the car.
He took a piece of chalk and drew a circle on the pavement. He told her to stand in the middle and not leave the circle.
Furious, he went over to her car and slashed the tires.
The blonde started laughing.
This made the man angrier so he smashed her windshield.
This time the blonde laughed even harder.
Livid, the man broke all her windows and keyed her car.
The blonde is now laughing hysterically, so the truck driver asks her what's so funny.
The blonde giggles and replies, "When you weren't looking, I stepped out of the circle three times!"
Good Morning Peeps

Did you choose to hire the travel agent? or were you told to do that when you won?
Regarding the deck:
What does the original quote state is covered by the $$ quoted? Usually labor hours, removal costs, permits, and materials are quoted separately?
How many labor hours were in the original quote? How many additional will be required?
I have heard that when having a repair/renovation, as new things occur, revised costs have to be addressed. But I know nothing of labor/material/damaged material removal costs, permits etc. in NJ. Having said all of that, $5000 is a suspiciously round number isn't it?
You aren't just having a deck removed, but also a new roof/barrier installed above the kitchen to protect it from having this occur again. Are you having gutters/downspouts included also?
BTW, it is a lovely house and very nice back area! The picture is great!
Good Luck to all!

See the new little deck that was not in the pic of before construction. Sam built this last year instead of my little steps, so he is quite capable.
