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.

A 2 by 8 costs WHAT?

  And other ghost stories from middle America  At the sane time we saw house prices leap into the sellers plus arena during this pandemic we also saw lumbar shoot skyhigh and make building furniture and other things outrageous.  So comes the new era of DIY lumberjacks and the sawmill. Amazingly we are seeing the rebirth of blood sweat and tear work. but before it was all the rage and sawmills had waiting list. Zeke was dreaming of having his own sawmill and building his own shop and home.  Mike festiva     NPR the new lumberjacks       The right cut-Milling lumber   Have any if you explored milling your own wood or drying it in a kiln. what about over state lines and other travel  this is a dream I stand and honor. soon I'll be starting a web donation drive and looking for an angel 8nvestor or two. I'll be convincing you that Zeke is the best man for the job and will knock your socks off but he could use a tad bit of help....

put some springing in your spring. Let's get a restart.

 This just in! It's that time again! Time to prepare for warmer weather and days at the lake and night by the grill chasing lightening bugs!  But before all that wonderful summer sunshine and good times let's get down to business. Winter was long and cold, wet and dirty. Sand and road salt, dirt and mud everywhere.  It's time to do some airing out and cleaning up and checking our homes for seasonal change.  Call your HVAC guy and have a routine cleaning and check on your system make sure you've changed out any filters and vacuumed out all your vents and cold air returns.  Check your windows and screens, patch or replace any tears in your screen before all the wonderful warm weather bugs start creepy crawling around and become guests inside your home. Turn on your outside water connection and check for drops and fix accordingly. It's also spring rain season and it's time to check for leaky roofs and clean those gutters.  Some of your foundation diet might li...

And so it goes

 As luck would have it Zeke was away for a couple months taking care of business and a bunch of hooligans to put it mildly and without the anger I truly feel took it upon themselves to rob and destroy the home he was renting to own. So while he regroups and we get the police report ready and file charges in those we know had the most to do with it all please stand by us while we take care of this part of the book.  It never ceases to amaze me one thing about this area so different from others I've beg  lucky enough to explore and live in is the massive disrespect across the board from the streets to the corporate paid people.tbey are all so wishy washy in the fence and fair weathered.they stab anyone  in the back, especially those who have put food on their table they expect forgiveness too much and earn no honor it respect. It's sad. . An example is the several Zeke has taken in to live rent-free and help him do things to get pocket change  and most took every ...
