[Build] floor refinishing bid

[jim]

   oh...: seems to me if this guy gave a bid 
sight unseen that he guesstimated wrt a 
standard floor finishing approach. we might 
be able to get a lower price by negotiating 
short cuts. we might also get a lower price 
if we're willing to do some part of the work 
(have an experienced hand there for what 
counts or what's truly odious at a lower 
overall price because we do some grunt work). 
   i say let's talk to this guy, whoever he 
is (bill?).
