The stars were aligned today. Contractors at the beach are notorious for not showing up on time or not showing up at all. We call this working on island time. Today I had two contractors scheduled to do some work here at the house. One was to demo a bathroom that we are fixing to remodel and another was to set a couple of pilings for mooring the boat.
The demo contractor showed up at 9:00 just as promised. The piling contractor came around 10:00. At the same time the landscape contractor started their work and the guy that was originally to install the pilings showed up to ask when he could start. Sorry dude, the other contractor just started and is charging $500 less.
Barge, pile driver and mini tug.
Four men and a pile driver and the job was finished in no time. The pilings are driven 18 feet into the bottom.
All the work was finished and they were gone by 2:00. Now that's the way I like to see things happen.
