Besides home restoration stuff, I also design swimming pools and fountains for 5 or 6 different companies. I spent a lot of time on this particular design and wanted to be sure I got paid on it so I went along to help sell the pool. The guy that owns the company is a great builder but an awful salesman so I more or less stepped in and said "It looks like you like the design, we've met all your parameters and we're in your budget. When do you want us to start?"
He just smiled and said that with 3 different pool companies we were the only one to ask for the sale. I handed him my pen and said just initial the proposal and Tim will get the contract to you. He looked at the pen and said "If I sign this now can I have the pen?" I told him it's been bouncing around the truck, is all scratched up and besides, there are nicer kits but if you sign, I'll throw in a really nice pen. He said he wanted one just like that so here it is - a PSI Graduate Magnetic kit (chrome) in Koa for 216,000.00*
(*including swimming pool, landscaping, gazebo, etc.)
