    Anybody Else A Sub-Contractor?

    What a pain in the butt this is becoming. I have been carring worker comp and have found out it is the wrong coverage. What we were told and sold by our agent was not what we needed, so now my money(or most of it) gone and I need to get new coverage. I love the freedom of working for myself, but the hoops are getting harder and harder to jump through.

    It's all part of their plot to keep a guy down and force him to work for the man. Fight the Power.

      The whole reason I became self employed is because The Man was not hiring

        My favorite aspect of doing construction work is when you figure the time, say 3 days, materials, say 220$ & labor. 6 days later you finish up & only spent 405$ on materials. A really satisfying experience.

          This is sarcasm right? Hard to tell these days. I can see estimating 405 and actually spending 220 is good (You made 185 extra) but the other way elludes me.

          Personally I hate sub contractors. You pay the big name guy big money and he sends the little fish to do the work. Rather the little guy advertise directly and save.

            Actually, it is the sub contractor who does the work. That is what "sub" means. It is the "contractor" who contarcts or sells the job and it is the sub contractor who actually breaks their as* to get it done. I tried to cut out the middle man, but it is just to difficult.

              Yes Doc. Every contractor has a few stories like that. Practically gave the job away.
