I did that two once. Had them make the materials list and call it in. Then I went to the supplier paid with my CC. I kept anything leftover and got the CC points/rewards to boot.

I made my own list. I built the house myself, so i knew exactly how much was needed. Not a shingle left over, i think i had to run in and pick up 1 more package though.
The labor was an amish crew. They stripped the old. I did not want to do that myself.

In my opinion, for clarity, if the job is "bid" by the contractor, they have the right to carry off everything left over.

If I'm paying labor and materials purchased with a total amount to be determined, it's all mine.

I remember growing up with my sisters, I’d hear the insult “Indian giver!” thrown about. As a kid I always pictured an Indian taking something back. Only later did I learn about our governments honor regarding treaties with native Americans and realized the term was about us (U.S.)!

Maybe, just maybe, there never was a post driver....
....There are people like that out there. MOST of it is driven by insecurity.....
....Why is this guy working with one hand and giving money away with the other?

Ooooh! The plot thickens!

....what is really driving Ol’ Bob?
...Was it the relationship he had with his father? Was he bullied as a child?!

Yep. Common misconception.

Maybe, just maybe, there never was a post driver. My BEST friend LIES to me continuously! It has NEVER hurt or even inconvenienced me. There are people like that out there. MOST of it is driven by insecurity. The price seemed way too low. Why is this guy working with one hand and giving money away with the other?

Ooooh! The plot thickens!

I have a relative that is EXACTLY like that,, she will lie just to feel her lips move,,
She was only a decade younger than me,, so I kinda grew up around her,,
if she was breathing,, she was lying,,, and,, no one could figure out why she would lie like that,,,

Is it going to rain today? Her answer would be that a hurricane was coming,, (we were having sunny skies,,, )
BEYOND the lying was the exaggerations,, She goes to gambling casinos frequently,, she has NEVER came home without winning,, EVER!!
The same goes for her trips to play bingo,,,

So, those people do exist,,,:confused2:

Ok so here's what happened today. I'm trenching a ditch with my backhoe while Bob's working. I finish, I'm installing a frost proof hydrant and 3/4 black plastic line.
We never talked. This afternoon he walks over "how do you get up leaves?".
"With a rake and pull behind sweeper" I say.
He says "then you wouldn't need a Trac Vac 880 would you?"
Long story short (and man would it make a strange book) Bob bought this place 6 miles from here. Huge house, a couple other houses on the place, huge buildings full of stuff (long-long story)...one thing of many I saw was a Prevost motor home (850k he said which is probably right).
Anyway this Trac Vac works fine...they're about $3500 new. He said for helping him...how about $450? And the edger. They worked...I had trailer and check with me.
I'm happy.
