I have a note on my phone called “PATIO (CONCRETE?)” and it’s mostly me writing the same sentence over and over:

“Why are these numbers so different.”

A concrete patio is deceptively simple. It’s a flat rectangle that you walk on.

And yet quotes will come back like:

• Contractor A: $4,800
• Contractor B: $11,900
• Contractor C: $19,400

…and they’ll all be for “a concrete patio.”

This post is me trying to make that sentence stop lying.
