Mostly pick up where various jobs were not totally complete or satisfactory to me. People walk the moment they get paid. Hold back 10% and they might just shine that on.
I should come to work for you. (No, not looking for a full time job  )
Oh, and I had the most fun welding repairs to some 1930's wrought iron gates. That's a strong hobby of mine ever since the 911 restoration days. |
Good to see that you come out of retirement and get some exercise in moving about at the job site humping a bit of lumber. I hate humping lumber. I still do a some of the finish work. No more base and case, no fun.
Pick up? Yeah, story of my life but that's the nature of the beast in this business. My two guys do a fair bit of pick up work. They can't seem to understand why these subs can't just complete everything. They always seem to leave a couple of things without completion. I don't even try asking anymore as long as the donkey work is complete, the rest of the little things are just part of the business to pick up and finish up. They are usually small that can be done within a few hours. I do know this, they can't clean with a damn. ASking them to clean up their siht is like pulling teeth.
I cna't weld with the damn.
