May the bridges I burn light my way...

Ummm is that your tool chest from where you've turned wrenches?? Oh wait there's a cord connected, some cool hot gizz?? That would be a lot of bridge light.

Which bridge did you burn?

My tool chest has plug bars installed on them and that's what it is.

Which bridge did you burn?

The one where I turn wrenches at. I can help them when they get in a bind, but who is going to be there when I get in a bind. I have too many things to do and need my service bed outfitted.

Looks fantastic. Will you skirt around the bottom?

Everything you do has the stamp of craftmanship.

Well you see.... According to the unofficial bid that was agreed upon, it only covers drying it in. So that's upon the customer to do.
With that said, he is trying to trade a backhoe he bought for my labor/skills on finishing the house after drying it in and wants a comprehensive list of what I will do in trade. Not exactly what I want to do.
List would include septic, rough in plumbing, electrical, framing interior walls (which is minor), putting drywall up (I'm not feeling it in drywall section) and insulating it. I feel that much work is worth more than what he considers worth $8700 by the price he paid for the backhoe when he only paid $8200 for it. I see only $6k in that machine.

I see it as his problem of being stupid shouldn't be my business problem.

All designed on my laptop If there is a board to be cut or put anywhere I have the dimensions/angle drawn up.

he wants you to do all that for a $6-8200 trade?!!! what planet is he living on?! Probably the real reason he bought the backhoe! In his dreams.

That amount of work in all the trades would be more like $40,000! He is insane to think you would do it for a broken backhoe!
"Stupid" doesn't begin to describe him!
