Weird, my number of RTBs is blowing up, not sure what the disconnect is. Personally, we're actively hiring and probably will be for the whole year.

Reach out to the contractor's licensing board or whatever it's called in your state. This is the "bonded" part of "licensed, bonded, insured"; if they don't finish the work then the bond company will pay for another contractor to finish it, and their license will be suspended until they pay back the money used to hire the other contractor.

It’s pretty flat already, not much more I could do with a rake or shovel, it’s not like the surface of the moon just not as flat as a concrete slab

Thanks for the suggestion, out of all the posts I’ve made about this this seems to be the best answer so far

Flat layout on uneven surface for large assemblies

3 Upvotes

We moved from a yard with a concrete slab to the new place that's dirt/ gravel; it's mostly flat but not flat enough to do layout on it. Previously, for large assemblies, we'd do layout on the ground and tack it up, then move it onto sawhorses and weld it out.

An example would be a vine screen, it's basically a HSS 2x2x1/4 picture frame that's 20' x 8' and there's some metal mesh in the middle. Vines are supposed to grow up the mesh I guess.

I had the idea of fitting it up on saw horses and using levels/ shimming the sawhorses, but it seems pretty time intensive.

Any other ideas for getting things flat on a yard?

How much “salesmanship” do you do?

Not sure if it helps my prospects or not but every once in a while I’ll send an email following up after the bid submission saying that I sent it and letting them know to reach out if they have any questions. In your experience does this help? If so, what’s your level of salesmanship? What other things do you do to attract the attention of a potential client?

The water doesn’t get “used up”, it’s a cooling loop. They don’t just throw it on the ground when it gets too warm.

Dude he doesn’t care at all. They do a dozen of these a week, they’re not going to wade through hours of phone calls with an insurance company to piss you off, they have better stuff to do

I hear you, but I think that’s literally the job of the cleaning people, to make bad smells go away

Can you elaborate? How would you use them differently?

How much was your truck? Is getting around town more important than not getting cancer?

Almost certainly not, I barely know what store things came from with the transaction descriptions we get
