Do you actually know your cost basis? If so, most brokerage accounts allow you to manually edit your cost basis. Keep in mind, you need accurate records to verify your numbers in case Uncle Sam asks for proof.

I have a rental home that needed pretty extensive plumbing work and the plumber I hired gave me a $6200 estimate. As the job progressed, more work was in needed and I agreed verbally to an additional $2000. When the job was finished, the plumber presented me with a final invoice of $10,380. I questioned him on it and he simply says that the materials and labor added up to more than he expected, but that his invoice is accurate and he wants full payment. He provided me with a breakdown of his and his employees labor and a material list, but I have no way to verify the accuracy of his labor and most of the materials are inside the walls and attic and I cannot confirm its accuracy.

I offered him $9000, but he wants the whole amount.

I think he is trying to pull one over on me, but I don’t want to risk a lien being placed in the house.

Should I continue to challenge him, continue to negotiate with him, or simply send him a check for the original $8200. Or, should I consult an attorney?

Thanks…

Read the first paragraph in my post, I explain this.

Raylan went to the dark side…

From Ava Crowder and Winona Hawkins to Carolyn!

He voluntarily retired, he’s not getting paid any of the guarantees. It’s dead cap money on the Saints Roster. The only way he would get his guaranteed money was to be active, even if riding the bench and even if her were cut by the Saints. However, he retired, so none of that applies.

My rank, if properly made:

Tuna salad
Chicken salad
Egg salad

It’s weird, because I like the taste of chicken better than Tuna, but when mixed for a salad sandwich, Tuna takes the lead.

I found 2 exact vehicles at a local dealership and an out of town dealership and began negotiating price. The out of town dealer was first to respond and I got the deal that I wanted and started the process, got loan approval and all of the paperwork ready, all I have to do is go get it.

I decided to call the local dealership and told them of my pending purchase and said I preferred to buy from them, because they are in the town I live. I gave them a copy of my pending deal, all of the numbers and showed them everything they asked for. All they had to do was give me the same deal, but they wouldn’t not do it.

I wonder why? It’s an easy sale, done deal…seems strange to me that a local dealership would let me go like this.

Anybody in the car business have any insight?

Now do the D’s

She is embarrassed to tell you, but wants to look better and get healthier. Do you love her? I would not make a big issue out of this, she is going through a lot with the breast cancer thing.

They can spray and clean for this and install UV lights, cost would be about $1000
