How many of you have general contractors that work well with you and honor your requests?
With hunting season coming to an end, it’s been fun listening to all the stories from people at work. The most entertaining story was the bear story. Dave in our office and his son were hiking through the woods when they saw a bear in the distance. They crept up on the bear from the rear. They nestled themselves down behind a log while the bear was busy stripping berries off vines. Dave told his son to take the shot. Dave’s son is 17 and Dave thought it was a great opportunity for his son to take this monster bear at such a young age. Dave’s son put the rifle up to his shoulder, aimed and shot. The bear leaped into the bushes never to be seen again. They searched for the bear only to determine the shot had missed its mark.
In many of my recent stories, I think I’ve been missing the mark. Yes, I give suggestions, which appear many are using based on my e-mail responses. However, I think it is important to provide a “plumb bob” or a comparison of what subcontractors are looking for in a general contractor.
