    Thats a good price.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    He means its to cheap beware he maybe a cowboy it does sound very cheap to me always get a few quotes. And i would go for the middle one. to cheap should start alarm bells ringing. I would of thought double it, but it does depend on where in the country you live.

    Right ok, well this is actually a good sign then, the quote came from a contact that my father in law knows in the trade, so that's probably why it's cheap, he's good and recommended so no cowboy!
