It's amazing, the places construction workers can hide a duece.I told them I was there to scrutinize their work, so maybe.![]()
Now they have something to talk about all season this coming year. When the work gets boring, one of them will say, "Remember that old fart in the pink sweat pants and Rocky the Flying Squirrel hat, that looked over our shoulders all day? Wait until he finds the note we left for him in the cellar."I told them I was there to scrutinize their work, so maybe.![]()

Keith, I did electrical work for the first 11 years after I got out of trade school. The company I worked for did Industrial, Commercial and Residental wiring and I never minded the customer watching while I worked. It wasn't going to change the quality of my work whether they watched or not. Sometimes their questions slowed me or my crew down but not often.I told them I was there to scrutinize their work, so maybe.![]()
Dad had a sign in his shop. "We charge extra if you watch, double if you help."Get the heck out or the price goes up!
You have good info, you ain't stepping on my thread.Hope you don't mind me writing all this stuff and stepping on your thread???
Exactly. My money, my rules. 🤣Dad had a sign in his shop. "We charge extra if you watch, double if you help."
I've seen that sign in numerous shops, I love it..Dad had a sign in his shop. "We charge extra if you watch, double if you help."
I had not seen that one, I like it.If you worked on it first $200
Exactly the way I think. Also the way it'll be done unless they can prove me wrong. Sorry but I'm one those guys that will know how it's done whether I do it, help do it, or it's done for me. Yes I'd ask all kinds of questions if I don't know what is going on and if you're one that doesn't like it then you won't work for me. "My money, my way", until proven otherwise. Which might not take long but that's the way it is in my world.Exactly. My money, my rules. 🤣
I'm guessing the workers will like that ,.Heat went on Friday afternoon.![]()

Yeah, I tend to agree. I could care less if a client follows me around and pesters me with questions. However, they better be prepared for me to clam up when the instrument is set up and the real work begins. I have to concentrate on the measurements and numbers and cannot be fielding questions or chit chat during that time. Luckily most folks will mention, "I can help out" or "I am around at any time, so feel free to come whenever" and I can adjust the price accordingly (raise it up). I too charge more by the job at this point, not by the hour. If I hear the prior mentioned comments, I'll tack and extra $50 or so onto the estimate.Get the heck out or the price goes up!
