Although I have a "day job," I started in freelancing and still do occasional projects. I have the luxury of picking and choosing. From that perspective, I very much appreciated the contractor's guest column. Too many people do not understand that price is not the determining factor. In fact, if there's a budget, it's better to tell the contractors being interviewed, "here's my vision. here's my budget. Can you make it work?" When good contractors can see your vision, and they buy your vision, they'll deliver more value in the work than the money you'll pay.

I cannot STAND it when I read "Myself and a friend are going somewhere." The incorrect use of "myself" drives me NUTS. My mother who was the first child to graduate from HIGH SCHOOL in her family of 7 had perfect grammar and would tolerate NO grammatical errors in our family. Though I am obviously imperfect in that regard, it sticks with me when there are errors. Definitely off-topic. I had a supervisor who said "I have went to the store."
