That should tell you something! IMO, what they are telling you is they don't think you would be willing to pay what it actually costs AND have them make decent money at the same time. When they do their own work, they don't have to pay themselves AND they learn/realize how complicated the job is to get it right. When manufacturers install a slide, they have the previous benefit of 1,000's of installations. (experience) But hey, if you "gotta have it" go for it. I admire your determination. I hope you don't have to change your screen name from meleavingsoon to mewaitingaroundforawhile.
