    Doing the big jobs is how companies (like me an the few other on here) stay alive an can do this on a full/large scale.

    Now I do have some things to say.

    You saying you can do it in 24hours an DOING it in 24hours...I have to give you props on that...its not easy to jump into a site like that an get the job done that well on your first shot.

    Can I have the number to the guy who let you use the dump truck an all for $75? That was a deal and a half!! Take a case of beer to that guy...you want to keep him around encase of another job

    In your story I dont think you took a digital camera with you the first time. But anytime you go take a look at a job...take one with you an take photos of EVERYTHING...it will help you in the planning stage so you know what is where an have a game plan.



    If the two people where really happy with that you where able to do. Ask them to give you a letter or something so that if you get another job an they want proof you can get blank job done you can show them photos of the job before hand an photos after along with a letter of the happy land owners...that alone can set you apart from other companies.

    Good haul an hope you nail another one!

    Took in a little more than half the load today... $637 a new record for me. It was all tin and short steel though. I will be taking in copper and the burned out appliances tomorrow. Will post pics then. I'm enjoying this!
