[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1747059, member: 32659"] Every contractor is different. The cowboys I use always like to work the cows then go to lunch and come back and work the calves. They like to have an enjoyable day and work their horses. Dirt guys usually like to just stay on the equipment all day and maybe take a short lunch in the truck, just don't get them talking or you'll be there all day. Carpenters are the worst, they work stop work stop all day. Metal building guys are always the same. They bust tail for a few days then might not show up for a few because material showed up for another job. Concrete guys don't have a choice but to stay busy. I like to get the job done and move on. Nothing is worse than a guy that wants to stop and talk about "it" for an hour. I called a fence builder I'd never met the other day and he kept me on the phone for 30 minutes. At the end of the talk all I knew was his equipment was in the shop for at least 10 more days, he was 7 weeks out and couldn't work until his tractor was fixed. I probably told him 10 times all the equipment you need is sitting here ready to go if you want to work until yours is fixed give me a price. He just kept talking in circles. Frustrating to say the least. [/QUOTE]
