Twenty-two years in the business and Mark still managed to remind himself why taking the low bid is basically a trap with a bow on it. In this solo Losers are Winners episode, he pulls back the curtain on a framing nightmare — missed milestones, disappearing crew members, bounced checks, and one very uncomfortable site meeting — and how it all came to a head with his first-ever mid-project subcontractor firing. The real plot twist? The client ended up trusting him more because of it, not less.
