terms and contracts

 so what happens when you put in the bid inspect the job at hand spend time pricing the supplies and adding to the labor you know you'll be putting in and they say yes you schedule getting started  

and what happens if the home owner cancels ? well you cancel...  but what happens when that happens several times this is where having a contract and having terms and conditions of the contract have to come in at some point the client has to be on the hook for wasting people's time money and talent. now doing a bid it's pretty easy to find some terms for and I think we found some good ones for some of the legal paperwork That's just you know standing on your price and the supplies and if someone was to hire a subcontractor and all those types of things but what do you do about scheduling a job and what do you do about when someone cancels on you how many cancellations do you allow before you have to charge a set fee and should you have to pay a prepaid amount down so that if they do cancel a couple times you still know they're serious about the job of the flip now if they want to cancel all the way they could go ahead and relinquish what they paid pre-down and that could be their fee for buying themselves out of the contract they would have signed then after the bid was given.

would you other contractors think of this and what do you do in these circumstances we would love to know looking for advice from some of the seasoned pros for those of us who want to do our very best while we're starting out now remember we want to build not bullshit so don't butter us up with a bunch of sugary crap give it to us straight and let's do this right.

This Just in!

Rumour has it there's a new guy in town and hes cleaning the place up one repair and remodel at a time.Okay...you caught us, sometimes even two or three at a time. AND Zeke isn't really the "new new" guy in town but hes definitely one who came up the old fashioned way with a tin of blood sweat and (don't tell the HeMan woman haters club) even a few tears. Zeke a.k.a Christopher Zevecke knows old fashioned work ethics and values like the back of his hand. Never handed a thing in his life hes pushed shoved even groveled (wait,no not this.)   and out worked many a man to stand at this starting line.  From a several generation family not scared to earn their way and put in an honest 18 hour day. Zeke has experience in every aspect of home building and remodel as  well experience from  outbuildings to roofs to driveways, and the cars, trucks and trailers they hold. It's nothing to see him putting in a weekend doing body work on some kind of vehicle in  O...

new projects at home

it appears Zeke has a new hobby and as always he is showing his absolute born with it skill and his labor of love as he jumps in and digs for perfection. Zeke will soon embark on another building journey and share it with us. I'm hoping to see some handmade craft man skills with wood tables and furniture with legs and feet coming soon as well as a few more ideas he's been thinking about for sobe time.
