Sawdust in pool

[Slvrmple72]

I keep seeing Bill Murray picking up the candy bar from the bottom of the pool in Caddyshack..." Its okay! Its a Baby Ruth!" Chomp!

Go over to Denton get the Von Erics to pay him a visit lol. Drop a hint over in Oak Cliff about
a huge party byob pool party lol place signs all the way to it tell em to come on their Harley's
it works I will guarantee that!

 

[Taxmantoo]

How many contractors has he ripped off?
How many of them are still within the statute of limitations to sue?
What happens to the caretaker's cushy job if they all file suit against the caretaker and the owner as co-defendants? Let me tell you, by the time the judge and the owner see the third suit, neither one of them will be amused with the caretaker's behavior. The caretaker's job is to make life easy for the boss, not get him dragged into court.

Tell him he is a CARE TAKER, if he didnt take care to cover the pool that hes responsible for and that you had mentioned, perhaps he should find himself another way to feel important.

Something like that. I wouldn't have set foot on the property unless the pool was reconciled with beforehand.

I've got a dear friend in Denton that would love to join that party!!!

I also know some large business owners in the Dallas area Mckeetree. Let me know if I can help you in anyway. I'm serious, My hunting partner has the contract for the sprinklers in the Dallas stadium. I bet I can put you in touch with someone who can get you in touch with Don.

Yeah I would like to talk to Mr. Nelson directly but I may not get the chance to. It is beyond me why that azzclown caretaker didn't close the cover. Landscape guy there told me the heck of it is the caretaker had been griping about the pool cover not working and had recently got it fixed so he could close it. We started the job exactly when we told him we would so no timing issue. His name is Mike Zabojnic. If you are in the tree business in this area and some guy with that name calls, RUN!

Its beyond me why you did the job seeing the pool wasn't covered.

Been a long time pard!

Would you have wasted a day and fuel after scheduling a five man crew I am not sure where Mctree lives but I am sure it was a trip across lake lavon out of town a bit if I remember correct!

Sounds to me like the caretaker wasn't taking care. I get paid to put trees on the ground, not clean pools...

I know you are The Dan, but hey , I told the guy sawdust would get in the pool. He is the one that chose not to use the power cover.

Circumstances being the same he would have done the job just like I did.

Sure the math sucks ... both ways now. I was just thinking of putting a clause in my proposal like doctors do so I get some money for BS like this but the truth remains.
I answer yes to the question. In this situation I would have been in 5th gear by the end of the driveway you bet.
Yeah the whole thing sucks but if you want to work for Mr don Nelson (whoever the F he is and if he gives me any crap he gets what the other get) then you should have made sure that before you start cutting the pool would be covered along with your ass.
We all know these people exist and are out to do the job on you. They know they can get you and you will squirm more than them. Me, I avoid this type of account solely because .

My job is to make sure I don't get caretakers calling trying to feed me BS. I hope it works out but I think you should have have the train coming. The good side is next time you will
And NO, I would have rolled, I do it all the time. Live today, fight again tommorow... and win

That would be great. At this point I have about given up on getting paid anything but I would love to give my side of the story. You know, looking back I have decided the caretaker had it in for me from the start. He had some rag-tag bunch that he was using for tree work at that property but something or another happened to them and they went on somewhere else. He ask me why I thought we were more qualified to to take care of their tree needs and I told him well, I am a certified arborist with a degree in aboriculture. We carry contractors liability and workers comp. We have been in business for 23 years. He just scowled at me . I think he decided before we ever started "OK, Mr. certified arborist with the insurance you are so proud of. I'll show your azz". And I guess he did.

Yes. Next time I will.

I don't know all the details but I have a great imagination but I don't see how if you told the caretaker this he could be at your throat.
My imagination tells me the guy is screwing you cause he can and it will probaly make him a buck for his wretched toils of being Don Nelson's caretaker ( whoever the F Don Nelson is). I wish I could do more than to tell you its your own fault but it is.
Yes, The Dan knows what evil lurks and when he sees it he goes home, calls up the evil and says " F you prick, put a cover on the pool and maybe ( if you are lucky) I will come back."
Good luck getting your money, I'd love to help.

Power cover huh? Who the hell was sleeping at the wheel? You got a big high profile gig like this and there is nobody on your crew running " protocol"?
Seriously, who is in charge? You were there at the start? You met Mr. caretaker? You set a date and told them you were coming?
That is all I am saying. Somewhere, sometime, someone should have done something about this pool. Right? And when it was seen that nothing was done maybe proceedings should have been postponed until something was done.
We just sprinkled a pool with some crap yesterday, I doubt Mrs. Casey will be bothered, she is like you and me, but Don Nelsons caretaker? First of all sounds like he takes it in the butt.

If I had it all to do over again I would have done it a little differently.
