And I'm the one making no sense?
So a subcontractor would risk running afoul of the IRS by giving you a receipt of a cash 100k dollar roof that he did not properly document.
Do you know how many red flags it would raise withdrawing and depositing such large sums of money?
You three numbnuts are trying to put your square narrative into the round hole of reality.
Ask bambino if he has ever felt a square finger

On million dollar homes....they are all large payments. Foundation , large sum. Framers, large sum of money. Plumber, large sum. Stucco/brick again large sum , Flooring large sum, Painters definitely large sum.
None you would pay in cash. You would have to be in cahoots with these guys and you do not know them that well.
Sure....if you were having your house repainted you may pay cash to some local yahoo to save a few bucks....but not when you are trying to sell million dollar houses.
