Heather frowns a bit. “They’re not all like that.” John looks at her. “What??” Heather’s little frown turns into a smile. “I was talking to our neighbors about their new deck and how much it costs to build a deck. Apparently, their contractor lays out his process quite clearly.”
“Show me,” says John, voice full of doubt. Heather picks up her phone and brings up the link to the process their neighbor sent her.
Here’s what she shows John:
