Sometimes it does go that way, from one extreme to the other. Seems like about this time every year, right before the holidays those type of calls come in. Some even wanted us to work on the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, ya right! First off your (the contractor's) crew wasn't even going to be there, let alone a superintendent. I don't think so.
Anybody getting weird calls lately? I had a call (after about a week or 3 of nothing) to dispose of a fellas garage.The kicker , he didn't even have the budget to rent a roll-off box, and wanted me to get rid of it for him. I met with him, and told him if he can't rent a box then he can't afford my laborers for a day, but went on my merry way after giving him a business card. Nice guy, real unrealistic...he was going to do the knock down himself...:(
Next day I get a call about doing a large job out of state. Big money, and probably too big for my scope, but the guy seems to have some money and waved $100k in my face to see if I would take it, sight unseen. Told him I'd like to see some pictures, drawings, and all the other particulars about the jobsite. Setting up a meeting with him soon to go over everything.
It's been a weird week.
