I called Ron Bickel, he's right down the road here from where we live and I talked with him for a bit.? He came out here and gave me a nice bid.? In fact, he underbid the handyman by about $1,500 and his company had put up the original cover, so I says "hey, go for it."? And they did.? He said it might be two weeks before he got to it because of the rain we were having, and he turned right around after we had talked one time, and I think it was on a Sunday he came out here to do something.? On Monday morning he came out, and next thing you know I got a phone call.? I says yep; he said "this is Ron."? He says "my crew's gonna be there in two hours or in an hour." And they showed up.? They did the thing.? They started at 9:00 and got done by 3:00 and it looks fantastic - paid them, that's it.? Ron gave me a number and exactly what was going to be done.? His bid was $1,480; that's what I paid him.? The patio cover is beautiful.? I have people coming over looking at saying, "hmmmm, how do I get one like that?"? He had been here before.? He did the original patio cover and it was stuff that I had bought down at a nationally known provider, which is that cheapy plastic corrugated stuff.? They put it on and that was fine.? And then I had a problem with it again, and they came out one time.? Unfortunately, the guy that was living next door was drunk as a skunk and he came out and started screaming and hollering at them about being in his yard and he chased them out.? I turned right around and called the police on him.? But by that time, these guys said hey we're not gonna take the risk, so they left.? This time they came out and we didn't use that cheapy stuff.? He got some corrugated that they use on commercial buildings.? It's a white corrugated plastic, but it's a thick plastic, so he put that on.? He put that up, plus the flashing and everything else.? I think it really looks great.? If something happens, I don't have to worry.? I could call Ron and he'd be out here in a heartbeat.? He and I kind of have a symbiotic relationship.? He was a Marine; I was in Coast Guard, and we kind of were both old service guys. What they did was, they put a cover over an enclosed patio.? It's between the dining room and one of the bedrooms, and they put a wall in there and they enclosed it that way.? We use it for the kitties.? We put a cover on it and a screening area so that they can't get out, but they can go out there on the patio and they can be out there all day, rain or shine, and stay outside so we don't worry about it.? I couldn't do the work that they did because my field of endeavor for God knows how many years was taking care of patients with liver disease, so me and a hammer don't get along too well together.?
