Matt McCoy out with his statement for landscaping. With $201 allowance for unused brick & 270 hrs labor he came up with $9,9090 – (to keep under his $10,000 bid & my $10,000 limit.) Knowing I would be short I asked Howard if he would like to chip in – so he gave me a check for $3,000 + $2,000 already + $2,500 from my Boston Co. Money Market + $1,250 from Romine Rentals + Bal from my checking acct. But I’m broke for rest of month.
