Interesting meth head problem

Here they're all latino, done by lunch and shitfaced drunk. Trail of budweiser cans going to the closest group of trees (bathroom).

All the rural tweaker crackers got out of concrete years ago.

One of the old tater storages got concreted at the farm 7-8 years ago. It was finished by a crew of bush latte pounding crackers. I'll guarantee you there 5 cases of crushed cans (they crushed them to avoid voids in a fiber reinforced 8" thick slab, safety first! :lmao: ) in that giant slab.

You just casually dropped $60k on a dock and are talking about 6 figure yachts. You're definitely "boat money" not brokedick with a pontoon boat. :laughing:

And before someone gets offended about the brokedick with a pontoon boat, I'm a brokedick who can't afford a pontoon boat so I'm firing from my own lane.

Casually? Um no. 6 figure yacht? Not if I can help it. If I go that high, it will probably be available as a BnB.

He set all those ploes and built the dock or were the poles already there?

He set the poles. Apparently, the bay has clay below a couple feet of sand, so it was really hard to bore the holes. (Not that is my problem, he quoted with no exceptions for sea floor)

You have no idea how many cans are under my crane slab. Took a lot of beer to dig a hole that big. :laughing:

As much as you want. Looks like you have it docked in a remote enough area that nobody will hear the screams from the chicks you have to kidnap to get on that "boat"

:flipoff2:

I can tell by the pic that's southern arkansas. If you need me to meet you with a case of deck screws to keep it from blowing apart headed home, just holler. 30 pack of pbr and I'll help you get it all loaded up.

I guess, but now you're the guy fucking them in the ass on change orders instead of having enough money in the job to cover unforeseen work in your scope which is what PMs end up remembering when they start soliciting bids on their next project.

We can drop a chunk to land a job, but we won't and we don't have to go looking for work either because our reputation is quality work at the price we quoted. As long as our bids are middle of the road we keep getting asked to do work instead of looking for it. Don't get me wrong, we charge for change orders that change the scope or are a real pain in the ass, but we're not gouging on them to make up for a lower bid either.

That said, what I do now is pretty damn niche so we're not exactly getting shopped around either for most of our work.

Sorry to further derail this thread, but I was never one to do big change orders on site work, but I have been in bid situations where you turn in an honest bid, and then the owner/GC whoever shops out that price to the guy they'd prefer to give the job to.
One subdivision job I bid on way back in my early days of bidding that type of stuff, I put in a bunch of time and careful thought on a sealed bid opening situation. If you weren't in the room or have a bid in a sealed envelope at the meeting you were disqualified (allegedly).
The 3 of us who showed up on this like 250k job were within 50 dollars of each other on the total price, but I won by about 15 dollars. The contract was supposedly going to be sent to me later that day.. crickets.
I called the next morning and they were like "well such n such contractor was supposed to show up but had an issue and didn't make it, so they faxed over their bid later that day and beat you by 100 dollars"
Total bid rigging but what ya gonna do? :shaking:

I'm reminded of being warned long ago: If it flies, floats, or fawks, you're better off renting it.
I don't think that applies to renting it out, I think that puts you doubling-down on the wrong side of owning the "floats".
But considering that my entire boat ownership extends no farther than things I can deflate and put in a storage crate, I'm just shitposting anyway; if you can make money off of a boat, more power to ya. I just feel like renting out a 6-digit boat smells a lot like buying into being cleanup crew for an onlyfans parade.

On the topic of FR rated cloths for cheap. Look on Ebay and CL for guys selling old race gear that's outdated. Drag racers and dirt track guys usually have multi layer suites hanging around that they can't use in competition anymore because of the SFI tags being out of date but aren't any less fire resistant than they were to start with. Stay away from cheap and/or single layer gear, that shit is regular cotton sprayed with a flame resistant chemical and it can be washed out easily. Junk

Wrong thread? Pain pills spaced a little too close together? :flipoff2:

I'm curious how he "bored" them? When I was a teenager, my buddy and I built docks decks and seawalls as our summer "business" and setting posts involved using a 3" gas powered water pump, 1 1/2" heavy duty rubber hose connected to a 6' piece of 1 1/2" galvanized pipe with a nozzle on the end to jet the poles into the lake bottom. You just stood the poles up and then jetted around the post which would gradually sink to the desired depth.

Seeing the crazy prices dock builders are getting (my neighbor paid like $50K for a ~50' dock with a covered roof/boat lift for an 18' boat), I'm tempted to go back into the business :). It's really not all that hard or complex to build a dock compared to something like a shed or dwelling.

How long is your dock and how deep is the water at the end? Our dock is ~ 140' with a 12x16 platform on the end and it's ~ 9' from the lake bottom to the bottom of the stringers at the end of the dock. If someone told me it was $60K to build it I think I would have had a heart attack :eek:

That's more or less what they do around here.

That’s similar to how they did this. They bored the holes before standing the poles up. The walkway is 210 feet. The platform is 8 feet by 20 feet. The water is only about 3 1/2 feet deep at the end at mid tide.
