I guess what I was trying to say without saying it directly is that it isn't about quality work as much as it is bringing in their friends.
As for loosing a bid, it happens all the time, I hold no grudges what so ever.
I rarely have a problem with finding work during the summer. Spring isn't even here and my schedule is booked till early fall.

My original post was just trying to get a feel of if I were to buy. Your painting woes don't really help. But I understand.

Hi Joe,

Although I ended up in Meredith I also really liked South Down Shores. I spent a lot of time researching the different villages and found the Golf Villas to be a terrific value. The ability to purchase a boat rack for $5,000 sure beats the $40,000 or more you'll pay for a slip around the lake and while your not in town your boat will be "tucked away". Sure your going to pay fees but when you end up factoring the total cost of being on the lake you'll find South Down to be a good value. In the end, it was the Meredith that sold me on Meredith. It's just a fantastic place to enjoy, restaurants, bars, shopping, boating, and all within walking distance of my place. Good luck with your search and once you've made your decision never look back. Even though I can't get to Meredith as much as I'd like, my heart is alway there! All the best... Mickey

Joe, you and Rusty are on the same page.
I wasn't making it about MY painting woes it was about how the boards can flip flop on important things like maintenance. I could go on about other things but obviously your not looking for this type of information so good luck.
