I said I wasn’t going to pick up any more wood this fall . I guess it’s just like saying no more trucks . Two loads of black cherry had to use the little trailer as the dump and Dodge are both full of split wood .

Good firewood is hard to turn down when it finds you. They say it's supposed to get cold this winter :lol:

What did I do today??
Well I was going to try to get my S10 running. That didn't happen. But I did think about working on it. That's something. So I did that. I thought about it. Then I took a nap. I talked with my lawyer. That was fun and it only cost me 90 bucks. :rolleyes: |

Here in MD we are allowed to take up to 30% down and that's what I do. That's 30% prior to commencement. As soon as I drop equipment or materials or drive a nail the job has commenced and we are entitled to any amount. So, if no 30% deposit taken, the day I drop materials I am entitle to ask for over 30%. I never do. I take 30% up front, 30% at a pre-established halfway point, and final upon completion. I also tell people not to pay for a job up front and won't accept pay before commencing. A deposit is to finance (usually partially) the job, not my paycheck. I'm not a financial institution. I invest in tools :cool: |

Around here its pretty common for a contractor to want 1/2 down & half on completion. |

People tend to suck.
When they don't I am pleasantly surprised. I do all commercial work. Never get a dime up front. Often I am completely done before getting anything. |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I manufacture equipment for the plastics industry. Orders approaching $ 7,500.00 I get 50% down, Balance Net 30....unless i know the customer pretty well. Then Just Net 30.
Orders over $ 20K, it's 50% Down, 45% at Ship Balance Net 30. |

I know what you mean about renters. My wife wants to retire. We have the house in San Dimas rented to her cousin. The money from that house is her retirement. For 6 years we have charged him half of what we could get for it for that place. Now he's mad that she's selling it and he's dragging his azz. The trouble is that the housing prices are going down. The longer he takes the less it's worth. It's gone down about 25K since this started. He should be happy that he rode the gravy train as long as he did but he doesn't see it that way. And don't get me started with my brother. He lives in my mom's house. I own 3/4 of that house and he owns 1/4 (long story) But he owns just enough to keep me from selling it. He doesn't want to move. He pays no rent. He won't buy me out either. He just hires a lawyer instead so I had to do the same. This has been going on for over a year. We don't speak to each other. Our lawyers do. I'll never speak to either of them again. Never deal with family. (especially mine :rolleyes: ) It just a bad idea. I tried to be nice but that didn't cut it. |

A very wise man said friends and family will take advantage of you long before a stranger will. It's pretty much always bad bidnezz financially dealing with family.

After I had my (ruptured) appendix removed in '74, my insides were pretty rotten for awhile (like they've improved). I ripped one off at my sister's house in Idaho in the dead of winter, and they opened the windows when it was below freezing to get the stench out...a personal best. :lol: |

If I cut one my dog looks at me like "You're not blaming me again buddy'. :lol: Today I lit my mouth on fire or should I say my wife did. She brought home some tamales I'm not sure what chiles that they put in these things but they were angry little guys. WHOA!!! :eek: They were really good but they packed a punch. I was seeing dead relatives with smoke coming out of my ears. I have some left. They'll be my lunch tomorrow. Bring on the pain!:metal: |

You may want to fasten your seat belt when you go to the toilet next. ;)

Subcontracting siding supply and installation from builders I never got the first penny till weeks or months later (or not at all). I'd have to walk away from builders who wanted me to start house #2 before being paid for house #1. I had one say, "I'm a small builder, I can't operate that way". My reply, "I'm a small contractor, not a finance company". |
