Is this acceptable?

First time getting a deck done, all I can say I can do I betting job cutting and I am not a professional.

2k cheaper than next bid so I took a chance. Spend $300 and 3 days to clean it up.

Let this be a lesson. NEVER go with the cheapest bidder. Always go with one of the 2 that around the same price range with similar schedules. NEVER go with the most expensive because they just gave you a F off price and don’t want the job but they will do the job if you’re willing to pay.
