ShareThisWhat are the two ways for CleanerWater to recover and which one is the best?
1. 1Contractor was a general contractor and owner of a condominium complex that was under construction. CleanerWater Plumbing Company, a subcontractor, had been hired by Zoomba Plumbing, another subcontractor, to help it complete the plumbing work on the project.
When Zoomba began using shoddy installation procedures and fell behind the scheduled completion time for the project, 1Contractor’s urged CleanerWater to correct Zoomba’s mistakes and to finish the job. CleanerWaterr refused to continue until he knew who would pay him, since he feared Zoomba’s financial position was shaky. Nonetheless, 1Contractor’s job superintendent told CleanerWater to go ahead even if CleanerWater Plumbing and 1Contractor’s had no contract because “he would use his influence to try to CleanerWater get his money.”
CleanerWater finished the work and sent a ,800 bill to Zoomba. The bill was never paid. When CleanerWater later sent the bill to 1Contractor’s, these facts emerged:1Contractor’s told him that due to CleanerWater’s failure to notify 1Contractor’s promptly of Zoomba’s non-payment,1Contractor’s had already paid Zoomba in full and therefore would not pay twice for the work. Law & ethics.
Help me understand the wall street bailout?
Ok, I work a simple construction job and everything seems to be going pretty well for me. I don’t see any difference in the way my life’s been going, but on the news they talk as if the people don’t get the money they want, we’ll be standing in line at soup kitchens or something. Is this serious enough to where I just might go to work one day and the place is closed down? All the powers that be seems to speak some kinda foreign language that I just don’t understand. Can somebody explain this in english?
Palin’s RNC speech was a pack of lies. Even Fox News is calling out her lie about the Bridge to Nowhere…?
Palin actually campaigned for the 8 million Gravina Island Bridge during her 2006 run for governor. Only when Congress had already effectively killed the project did she shut it down and claim that she was against it from the start. She nevertheless kept the money already appropriated for its construction.

When a republican lie is too much for even Fox News, you know that that’s got to be one serious whopper, isn’t it?
Construction & contract help!!!! Can he do this?
i am a contractor, just started working for myself and i just had a job building a gable roof over a concrete slab, making ans open pavilion like ares.
the old man who i did the job for also has a son-in-law who does construction, but didn’t wanna do the job, so that where i came in.
well the home owner signed a contract (on i picked up at staples). this contract outlined the basic of what i was building, and what kind (sizes of lumber), type of shingles, ans siding and soffit color.
I was to do all of the framing, roofing soffit, siding, and finish metal. the whole thing for ,000 material and labor.
well the home owner was happy as could be during the first 5 days, then we had the weekend off, all the framing was done and the roof was on, all that was left was the finish work (siding soffit, and metal work). so we come back to work Monday and now the son-in-law has told the home owner all the little things he would have done another way and or things to add on, and the home owner is going over these with me, some of the things were no big deal; and i agreed to do his way (because i hadn’t do it yet and would not take any more time or material), but once he started wanting to make the box beam bigger around the structure, and mkeing other add-ons that not only call for more material and labor, i told him that it would cost more money, like 0-0 more for the changes. now it this time all i am owed in payment for the original contract is 00 for the homeowner. but since he didnt want to sign a modification to the contract, i had my crew continue continue with the original details of the contract. so we finish up Monday and come back Tuesday, and the home owner tells me that he doesn’t want me to do the finishing part of the job because his son-in-law told him that he would complete the job for less than what he owes me and do it with his new changes he made.
now on the job site i had extra roof shingles (that i over orders just to have if i needed them), I never noted how many sq. of shingles i would use on the project, and he is thinking that the extra 5 sq i ordered were his to keep, i told him no that they were my shingles, i told him i would leave 1 bundle for him not 15 bundles, and then he wanted me to bring him the rest of the material i ordered for the job like the siding and soffit. i told him no that he didnt buy the siding or soffit from me he signed a contract for a finished product, and if he wanted the material he would ether have to buy it off of me or allow me to complete the job. and i reminded him that his deposit and labor installment payments were non-refundible, as stated in the contract.
Can he back out of a contract like that????
Can i still get the 00 he still owes me??
to make it short he didnt allow me to finish the job and i didnt
i never stated how much material i would use. what the contract stated is what kind of material i was going to use, and the apportionment size of the structure, and type of limber (ex 2×4, 2×6, and 2×8) where they would go and things like that. I might have over ordered on shingles but under ordered on siding (to side the face of the gabled). so i could return one material and get the other, also i didnt give him a detailed breakdown of the money, just that and approximet amount was for material, and approximate amount for labor, then 10% mark up on material cost for odds and ends (material i end up needing that i didnt think of at first, and that another 10% mark up on the total cost of the project for Company profit.
What is used to wrap an unfinished construction project?
In Las Vegas, there are a lot of unfinished projects all over town, even up and down The Strip. They look unslghtly, almost like urban blight. Someone suggested they be wrapped to make them look better. What is used to wrap unfinished buildings when construction has either been cancelled or postponed?

This is not for decorative or "art" purposes. It’s to cover up the sight of unfinished steel beams when there’s no money left to finish the project (i.e. condo).
If people say a wall want work why are smugglers smugglers are making more money because of expected wall ?
PENITAS – Police say human smugglers are making more money because of the expected construction of the border wall.
Penitas Police Chief David Harris says the demand is greater and smugglers are trying to cross over larger groups. We’re told one group of illegals caught this morning paid ,500 each to cross into the U.S. So does this mean a wall really does work ?http://www.krgv.com/2008/4/30/990564/Police-Spot-New-Trend-for-Human-Smugglers-
Where are the skilled craftsmen and construction workers for Haiti?
It’s still July 12th where I am – six-month anniversary of the Haiti earthquake. Only about 10% of the money given to the World Bank has been distributed to Haiti as of this date, according to CBS Evening News. Where’s all manpower, equipment and materiel needed to rebuild Haiti? Why isn’t it being done at a faster pace?
There should have by now been large flotillas of the things I’ve mentioned.
How do you feel about the contractors in Afghanistan paying bribes to the Taliban?
It was on the TV news a few weeks ago that about 20% of the money that the construction contractors get, is paid to the enemy Taliban as bribes to leave them alone.
Is not this like we are paying both sides to keep the war going? USA military are fighting people who are being supplied in part by USA civilian contractors. Is not this crazy? In WW2,
were Germany and Japan funded by the Allies? I think not.
Is there more trouble for the construction of the new Anfield?
The Northwest Development Agency refused to give its £9mil grant to LFC as the club is yet to show them that they have the money to build Stanley Park.

Is Obama's $600 billion spending plan tacit admission that trickle down works?
Obama plans to spend billions on infrastructure. That’s fine, but how does that work? Obama will spend millions on several construction projects. For example, Obama will might give 0,000,000 to a company to build a bridge. The owners of this company will take that money and pass a portion of it onto its employees to pay for their wages. They will also pass a portion of it onto other companies to purchase products to make the bridge, such as steel, machinery, etc… This will create jobs and spark the economy. From there, those employees will go and spend their checks on various things…clothing, beer, tickets to a movie, etc… which will provide wages for employees in other companies, and the cycle will start again.
Other than the source of the original income (the government instead of private citizens), this is a version of the trickle-down theory.
