    I got a job!

    Awesome, congrats!
  2. I think you are right. It seems as though contracting in general is in high demand so they just don't give a shit.
  3. Been trying to get some things done around the house and I've been calling all over for estimates and such. 95% of places never call you back and the ones that do treat you like crap unless they know it's a giant project. I've had a few actually come out to look so they could give an estimate but they never got back in touch with the actual estimate itself. It seems I can't give my money away. With that said, we had an issue with a neighbor when another useless contractor came out to grind stumps out of our back yard. He showed up unannounced and drove through the neighbors yard tearing it all up. We called a landscape company to fix the neighbors yard and clean up the stump mess in ours. Months go by and he never shows to do any work. The neighbor calls and gets his yard fixed but the landscaper never touches ours. They have yet to ask for payment from me and I can't wait till he shows up asking for money. So we call another landscaper in to fix the mess and clear/level a spot for our pool. Once again guy shows unannounced and goes through the neighbors yard. Great. After the spot is leveled and they wrap up, we commence to setting up the pool and it's over 5" off level. I send the guy a picture and he plays dumb about it. I just decide to fix the damn thing myself before the monsoon rains hit and make it a mud spot. After a few days I get a message and he wants his $. His 600-800 estimate is now a bill for $1300 because "he had to call in another guy". Wait, what? We bicker back and forth and I decide to settle it at ~1100 just to be done with it. I tell him not to bother completing anything else as I'm not paying more on top of what we were already scammed out of. I post a review on his Facebook business page and he immediately sends a message demanding I take it down. Heh..... Guess it's ok to do shitty work but not ok to be unhappy about it. I told him to feel free and reply with proof and I'd be happy to recant my review.
  4. Durango? No idea about them but I'm considering one myself over a caravan since it has seating for 7.
  5. Many people have offered to help, it seems he only wants help that coincides with what he wants to do.
  6. Take vid with smart phone, upload to YouTube, post link, win?
  7. My wife daily drives her 13 2ss with two tots in the back, 0 fucks given. Rock on man!
  8. They ain't cheap, but they do look nice!
  9. Z28 reps? Common man, check out camaro5 forums, plenty of people selling oems. Get the real deal!!
  10. When I was shopping, I seriously considered that color myself. Congrats man.
  11. This. Offer 10 and see if they counter, if not they really don't wanna sell.
  12. Up near Youngstown unfortunately. Go for it, I don't want to keep him from a sale as it will be a bit before I'm back down that way.
  13. The $50 isn't the issue, it's time and location. If you were close I would have gotten it already. Working 80+ hours a week lately makes gillbot a dull boy.
  14. I was just going to build something around my firepit. Prefer metal, because fire n stuff but this may save me some hassle.
  15. How sturdy are the legs? Think it's strong enough to hold a swing?
  16. Absolutely. As long as I could check it out and see if there were any gremlins up front.
  17. Cleveland is too lazy to riot I'd bet.

  19. Based on what I've seen so far, meh. I wasn't a fan of the refresh in '14 and this looks to be going more towards blah territory.
  20. My z28 is in Florida pulling the fronts into the 10's now.
  21. I miss the good old Norwalk days, hose were badass...... :fuckyeah:
