Maybe Billy has too much on his plate, he painted my Westy last year and took out all the windows. I hear he might be painting a 23 window up there right now... Sorry to hear about your mishap, that always goes through my mind. I'd expect a low wage person to hit me with no insurance but a guy like that... good luck, James Jeff Bednar <coitspoon@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I stopped by Billy's place on the way home from J & J, he quoted $3900 but said that when he paints he just folds the window rubber back and doesnt remove all the parts and i felt much more comfortable with the quote that J & J gave me even though it was $5,500. Billy was not interested in doing the job the way that i want it done. -jeff ----- Original Message ---- From: Neil <nbmdude@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 9:57:12 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Bad news today Billy Dobbs in McKinney...he's good!
