Green Bullet Report post Posted August 9, 2019 1 hour ago, CouesPursuit said: Same as I've always done. Maybe the OP just wants to hire a great installer from a great forum who will do an honorable job. Thank you Cp and other common sense posters. The rest of you Wow....You guys are really something. I am thinking about doing the job myself but was wondering if there is a good guy who works for a bigger firm that wanted to do a side job for good fair money. Maybe I’d lend a hand. Deliver material for him. Handle clean up too. Probably pay more than their bosses pay them factoring in the margin stacking for their cut off the top Win win I already have contractor pricing lined up for the material. I just got done building a pool with all the fixings. The guys I worked with and the competition I evaluated all passed through material prices at cost. Everyone knows folks have hookups for material pricing. It’s not a differentiating factor anymore. They made their money on the installs. Everyone was pretty satisfied with the transaction. Win win You guys need to get to get a life. This is right up there with dissing some guys price on something he’s trying to sell in the classifieds. If you’re not interested keep your mouth shut and move on. If you can find a sucker to pay you 100% mark up on materials all the power to you but you’re barking up the wrong tree here buddy. I appreciate those of you who have who made supporting comments. The rest of you really need to do some self reflection I’ve never created any conflict or issues on this site 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want a professional job for an illegal price. Good luck. Pound sand. You xxxx off! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no trouble going to sleep at night. Is it cheap to not throw money away at an idiot like you? I’d lose sleep knowing I was doing that that’s for sure. You’re a joke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why some people feel it's necessary to butt in on postings when they don't have anything to contribute. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some on this forum sure make a lot of assumptions. Yeah looks like my assumption was way off huh. 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZBIG10 Report post Posted August 9, 2019 I bet he wants the new turf installed by Christmas time. Some people. Kidding aside. It muddies the water when a warranty item arises and the homeowner provides the material. Becomes a finger pointing scenario. good luck with the install. Post pics. I’m looking hard at turf right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturebob Report post Posted August 9, 2019 I gotta chime in here. Greenbullet , You should have said up front ,anyone want a side job and explain what You wanted. I was not against you at first but now You sound like the bad guy, when no one here is. I was a Landscape contractor ,Licsened, Bonded, Insured and Incorperated for 25 years. Never did Jobs like that. We have overhead to cover . When people would try to Chew Me down on price I would tell them I'm in it Because I love it and am Very good at it, and I make $ ,I don't need the practice. I v'e done it for over 30 years. I would leave it at that. Hope You find some one to do Your Job................BOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I beg to differ about some folks being bad hearted. The assertions made against me are out of line and uncalled for Appreciate the input but I don’t get your point at all. If the offer/ask wasn’t compelling mind your own business and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
