Andy_Copland 0 #1 October 14, 2008 "When do you want the work done?" "Oh as soon as possible, i've had a notice saying i have til December to get everything fixed or they start fining me" I take the time to go out, give an estimate of material cost and labour cost and she seems really damn happy about it, as she should be as its a friend of a friend so I gave a really fair price. Try and contact them for 2 days wanting to start and they never answer the phone. I swear some people think a prayer and a cheeseburger will get them the shit they want. Im sure when the fines start rolling in at 100 a day they'll be on the phone.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

She's duckin' ya, will call all panicked when the fines start rollin' in...and then it'll be YOUR fault it's not done already! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_Copland 0 #9 October 16, 2008 Well i got the call back. At 7 this morning I wish i had more jobs on my plate because then i could have said "nah, another time." But instead i just got fucking home at 9pm. What i dont get is how can a lady, who works a regular job with a husband who sat talking to me all day with brown bags of colt 45; and obviously no job pay 1100 cash Still not much profit after buying over 120 pieces of wood. As much as i bitch i can't really complain as i did earn something. BEER TIME! 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

buff 0 #10 October 16, 2008 Colt .45 in brown bags??? Obviously getting a check from all of us working folk via Uncle Sugar. Why don't you charge something for your estimating work? Say $35 or $50 and if they hire you, knock it off the initial invoice. Your time is money and if they are on the hook for a jump ticket or two, they might get back to you faster. If not, you at least can make enough to bide your time on a load or three. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

Andy_Copland 0 #11 October 16, 2008 All the work i've ever done is working for other folks. So all this work involving finding jobs, estimates and trying to organise it all is new to me. So that idea is something i'll have to think about, cheers. 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.
