Filthy Lucre

Given that the 2 contractor proposals we´ve gotten so far are about 3 times what we´re willing to spend, my thoughts have turned to making money while the financial-system-as-we-know-it still stands.

I met my dear friend W for drinks downtown to catch up on summer doings and the giant restaurant poster behind us said:
