So you had another water loss did you?!

[Mark Saiger]

This place has owed me money for almost 3 years.

Went to file a lean at beginning, they begged me not too...

Insurance company cut the check to them and didn't put my name on it either even though my contract tells to do and or gives permission to direct pay.

They spent the money....That claim was a total pain.

They have been paying slowly...go few months nothing, then a payment.

They owe us $1500 yet and has been interest free for them.

Was cleaning a block away today. Saw a piece of paper in the window and building looked empty....Yep....Bank had taken over....but only 1 of the 4 buildings....don't know how that happens.

Then saw the other building....LOL!






Not sure if I will be seeing another payment, and wonder what is going to happen now.

There are people still in this building. They had to chip the ice away to allow the people out.

Heat is cranked up in the place and secondary damage as well taking place in the Suana....

Don't think they will have the balls to call for us to fix this.

Would be cash up front only!

Get in there and make money, the wdr tech inside you just wants to and you know it.

I want to get paid more than working for free

We did work for a property owner last year that still owes us $3,500.00.

We did $10,000.00 for his renter but the wall drying was on him.

He's a deadbeat, we will never get paid.

Hate those people!

I hope you leined, learned your lesson. I don't ever want to have to place a lien but will when neccessary.

The bank is not your deadbeat customer and if you can land the job and your not terribly busy it should be a plus.

This building of the apartment complex is still in possession of the people....and the ones that owe me money.

Bank has only taken one of the 4 buildings which really makes this a strange situation.

Talked to my lawyer today and have a plan, but not sure if it would be worth putting up the money right now and maybe never getting paid.....Plus new lawyer fees.

You ain't getting shit from this guy. He owns property all over town and owes millions to everyone.

Steve blew this one. We were supposed to collect before we started but Steve trusted him to pay. He knew we had worked for him recently but didn't realize we were paid up front for that loss.

 

[Mark Saiger]

You ain't going to believe this....

I GOT ANOTHER $500 CHECK IN THE MAIL TODAY FROM THIS GUY!

I better get to the bank and exchange it for a cashiers check!

He is down to $1000 (all interest free to him)

But dang....I hope the check is good!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Another Christmas Miracle!!!

 

[mirf]

Good for you! Hope you get the rest. When the phone rings and he want to pay you the rest of the money and some cash to start the new loss,
Your answer is?

 

[Desk Jockey]

"SURE! Just catch me up on the old one and give me half of the new one. That way when you screw me on the new one it does hurt so bad."

So Sorry.....WRong Number...LOL!

I would be telling him we would do it for this amount (which would be high) and expect the cash in an account with our Lawyer until all work is completed.

That way, we both feel some confidence that we have negotiating room if needed (say they had a concern about our work)

But.....I am pretty sure they are going to just let these buildings go back to the bank, and I will have to get a judgment and get in line for payment. At that point (as my contract says) all interest and legal fees would be due and accessed.

 

[dealtimeman]

I have yet ever been allowed or granted interest by a judge for suit.

 

[tmdry]

It's our money, 30 days no pay, they get a nice letter from our lawyer...if they don't pay within a week, they'll take them to court, plus attorney fees, and losing.

So far I've won the two who thought they could steal from us.

 

[hogjowl]

I have a relative (wife's side) that's been owing me $400 for two months. He told me today that the check is in the mail.

This is THAT relative that is always telling everybody how successful he is and he's "in the top 10% of his profession".

The more they talk, the less I believe.

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

We have a carpet cleaner here with a old rotted dodge van with a rotted framed old boxer that brags he is doing $2000 a week. Yet every time I'm working in his area I drive down his street his van is parked. So I don't believe most cleaners when they brag hiw busy they are lies...

 

[Mikey P]

What the jeepers happened there Mark, 2nd story flood?

Owner of the building being cheap....not turning up the heat.....

Heat to low in the door area that is the small commons area as you come in the building.

Frozen pipe....BOOM....now we have a new ice fountain....just add lights....LOL!

He must be from Texas (their machines run 2-hours a day).

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

Marty isn't from Texas get with it..

 

[Desk Jockey]

He should be!

I'll trade you (1) Lockhart for (2) Marty's.

 

[dealtimeman]

Hey naps are not easy, even while on vacation.

And I work, sometimes.


It is not easy being me!

 

[Desk Jockey]

You're from Texas and Larry said you guys only work 2-hours a day.

I believe you work much less than that.

 

[dealtimeman]

I wish I worked 2 hours a day!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Keep trying, it takes baby steps.

Work up to an hour, then an hour and 1/2 and eventually you'll make to 2-hours a day.

I know you have the ability, you just have to try harder!

 

[hogjowl]

I'm an essentialist. I don't find working more than 2 hours a day to be all that essential.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

 

[Ralph Pastorelli]

Marty isn't from Texas

 

[dealtimeman]

But I am!!!!!!
