    Join the concrete crew as we finish prepping this project for the pour. I took a few extra steps that will ensure this job lasts a long time but I will be lucky to make any money. It's the right thing to do and I am NOT upcharging the customer. It's better to do the job right than to have it come back and bite you in the future. Enjoy

      There's a difference between being in good debt and being able to pay everything off E:g paying off a car or a house people have good debt, some people on the other hand have so many loans out they are falling behind and can't make payments (bad debt) these companies target bad debt don't forget if you are making payments bringing in another company will not save you money but could possibly save your house for another 5-1o years and hopefully you get back on top in that time

    You should try talking to your concrete supplier, they sometimes have reclaimed aggregate that they will sell reasonably for filling in jobs like this, they still have cement residue mixed in with some sand, so compaction is really good. I used to use it for jobs specifically like this one.

    I can't understand how a large oil leak is found on the dump truck that has been leaking for who knows how long, and none of the drivers think to immediately check the oil level on the truck. Every driver should check fluid levels on any piece of equipment they operate before they start it. That would have shown a leak before it gets to the point where an engine is damaged.

    When you discover that a job has issues with the ground, such as insufficient support,why do u not give them an updated quote to cover the additional costs for materials like gravel, rocks, and rebar. If the client is unwilling to pay for these necessary materials, you should inform them that the concrete will likely deteriorate within a year or two. To protect yourself legally, you should have a lawyer draft a contract that includes a clause where the client acknowledges that you have advised them of the potential for premature concrete failure

    If you are planning to use a Debt Firm please research how much of the Debt is being serviced and how long it will take to clear it with these payments.
    Most Debt Companies are experts in keeping the wolves from your door by making the very minimum payment which may only be servicing the interest on what you owe.
    In effect you will be left beholding to the Debt Company for ever and a day but ultimately still owe what you borrowed.
    Do your research and perhaps look at a quicker way to pay it off .
    Ie take a second job and use that money to service your own debt with it.
    Take control yourself.
    A debt firm is a short term solution to a very long term problem.

      At the very least a conversation should be had.
      "Hey we can put our base down and pour the concrete back on the existing subsoil like our contract states, and it will look the way the old driveway looked in 10 years. Or for $X more, we can excavate the gushy soil, add rock and reinforcement, and it will last a lot longer."
      I have had conversations like this with customers before and they have always received it well. You don't know what you can't know until you start.

    Instead of digging more and bringing in more stone, you should have installed a drainage system under the slab. Also, to save yourself in your contracts, you should add a section about unknown conditions. Then it wouldn't come out of your pocket, the homeowner would be responsible

    So even then it wasn't EASY MONEY! (and wr didn't have the equipment that's available today! You have a great sence of humor! If some don't grasp, it there the one's you work cash only and a big! Down payment.
    And people don't understand Eric's venturing out slowly on his own and even though he has no experience rays sliding in his place! He lifts up some tension, which you can vent at the end of your day. Just someone to release and not take it home. It's called true friendship. Sometimes it's more not what you "can" do? But what you
    " do." The brain has stress and one needs one he can release and not take it home . Job is job.& home life is family only.👍🏻

  • @OnGrade
    @OnGrade Před 2 měsíci +1

    Hey Ryan... Just an FYI that may help you. I do Excavation & Concrete mainly, and when I do concrete I'm super up front with my pricing where the customer is concerned. I think we are a lot alike to be honest. Anyway, I tell every customer that there are only 2 things that make my invoice higher than my estimate. The first is if they add anything to the job; obviously right. The second is if I find topsoil or an otherwise bad subbase under the existing concrete that I'm about to rip out. In older homes around my area, there are a lot of trees right next to flatwork, and there are a lot of homes where the flatwork was placed directly on sod, topsoil or otherwise poor subbase and not compacted correctly to boot.
    If you're not joking about "hoping you break even" on this job, then I recommend you do the same as what I do in this regard and charge for doing all that extra dirt work and backfill.

I would have done a post hole to see just how deep the problem is then talk with the client to work out a new cost and terms. Thats just me.
