We are actually really good on change orders. We do a cost breakdown when we submit. We do this in hopes that it will be considered when it comes bid time for the next job, but it rarely is. Anyone need an honest commercial pipeline contractor:D ?

Maybe I will name my next boat "LAYING PIPE", since I am an underground pipeline contractor!!! :idea:

Years ago on my first decent size job, had a license plate done that said first draw. The only one that ever really got it was my banker. :D

For a minute there I thought you were trying to tell us you bought that boat and were trying to one up Magic34. Now I see the name after scrolling 12 feet to the right. Pretty funny and often true. :D Might want to resize pics to 640x480

As long as you dodn't piss the wrong person off. And they turn you in for your south of the boarder workers. Then you will be bending nails beside them, working for peanuts, like them. Yea I'm getting ready to turn a few in.

Must have been one helluva change order. Now I just have to figure out to to pull one (or two) off like it.

My Special Projects Coordinator has a nice little cabin cruiser.......sometimes when I call him and ask where he is, he replies "Oh, I'm on The Jobsite".

Geez I got a couple extra bucks, some free countertop's, and a new stove a while back, & thought I was doing pretty good. Guess I probably need to switch to commercial building to get a boat huh?
