GC's that say they are waiting on their next draw to pay you for the trip you made last and spent all the money on the first draw on god knows what. Is there really anything more useless in this business than a GC. Sorry, going over unpaid balances and im not in a good mood right now.

i have a new one today.

We wrecked all plumbing pipe out of a 3 story building for replacement. I had apprentices carrying it out. GC says "hey you can use the crane if ya want. It's just sitting there" I think OK that will save me a ton of time.

I got a bill in the mail today for crane time

Can't hold up in court, was there a written rental contract, lease or anything like that, tell them to kiss your know what.

I had a GC take out of the final pay on a job I did for tile work. We where replacing these homemade showers in an office building with one piece shower stalls. I explained to him and the building owner I need to be able to get these units in so there needs to be at least 37" clearance.

When the units got delivered, I went into the bathrooms and to my shock the tile guy did the outside wall in the little corridor where the two showers need to go in at. The space between the tiled wall and the frame out for the showers measured 35.75 inches.. I called the GC, he told me remove what I needed to so I can get them in. Once the tiles where out I had 36.7 inches of clearance, a very snug fit but I got them in and secured in place.

A week later he hands me a check that was $1700 less than what the contract was for. He said the property owner did not feel they should have to pay to have the tile work done again because I couldn't measure properly.
